Kickstarter loves watches and bikes, so it was only a matter of time before someone combined the two. Moskito is a new speedometer that doubles as a smartwatch.

Moskito, which packs six bidirectional motors, clearly is not a smartwatch in the sense of Apple or Pebble. But it will be able to provide notifications of calls, texts and emails with a connection to a smartphone.

The main feature, though, is the speedometer. When the watch transitions to speedometer mode, the second hand suddenly describes the current speed in metric or imperial, the minute hand shows distance traveled, and the date dial shows the average speed. The hour hand still shows the time. The watch can also have its main hands indicate travel time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

It's a new idea in smartwatches, thinking small instead of big and filling a niche rather than trying to cover everything. Its Kickstarter launches on December 1st.
