Your watch is more than just a watch — it’s a symbol of love, celebration, or a reminder of your accomplishments. At Ganance, we believe your watch can do even more. With our innovative technology, you can turn your favorite watch into a smartwatch, preserving its sentimental value and style while gaining the benefits of modern health tracking and connectivity. 

A story of family & legacy

As a first-generation Mexican-American, graduating from one of the top universities in the nation was an incredibly proud moment for me and my family. As a graduation present, my oldest brother bought me a beautiful Citizen Eco-Drive for me to have a shiny new watch to match my shiny new job in New York City. I wore that watch every day. It gave me the confidence to take on my corporate job at IBM and take on New York. This was around 2015, when Fitbits and Apple Watches were gaining traction, and I slowly found myself wearing my watch less and less because I valued the data these trackers provided.

When my brother, who gifted me that watch, was diagnosed with a brain tumor a few years ago, I remembered the watch that had been collecting dust for years since I chose my data over my personal style. Thankfully, my brother survived, but at this moment, I asked myself, "Why can't I have both?" My watch and my data.

Over the last decade, smartwatches and wristbands have done an excellent job showing us the value of monitoring our daily health metrics. But today, tech companies are making ugly watches, and watch companies are making bad tech products. Deciding to track your health shouldn't, by default, also be a fashion choice. At Ganance, we're giving you back your style and your data.

Thanks for being on this journey with us!
