Form and Function
névo understands that form and function should coexist and that people want activity accessories that don’t look or feel like a cheap gadget.

"Today, people understand the need to adopt healthy habits in their busy lives to look and feel better. The technology exists to quantify small changes that produce healthy results but until now, style played a distance second to function. When others think only of technology, we also think of beauty and simplicity," said Sébastien Druvent, Co-founder and CEO of Nevo Watch.
