The Challenge
Titan Company was focused on developing a unique wearable to address the demand in the urban youth market through their Fastrack brand. Since the product was targeted at youth, cost targets were challenging for the project to be viable. Also, the 9mm slimness meant that the entire assembly of the band had to be done in a very controlled environment with plenty of technical expertise.
