For now, I've just stumbled across Aria. It's a small add-on that clips underneath your smartwatch band, on the underside of your wrist, and lets you control the device with finger gestures.
It looks something like this...
It comes in a number of different colours, good for matching up with your watch band, and with a flexible link in the middle to try and match your wrist size. It clips on to keep it in place, and is made with a silicone material to ensure a good and comfortable grip.
It connects to your smart watch via bluetooth, allowing you to access any feature you'd usually access through the touch screen, but using finger gestures that are then configured by the companion app.
Here's an idea of how it works...
It all sounds rather interesting. There are certainly times when I want to activate my watch and my fingers are greasy, such as when I'm cooking or eating, and this would certainly be useful. But is it useful enough to deal with the extra size/weight of the device clipped to the watch strap, and another device to charge at night as well!
Apparently both a Moto 360 and a Pebble version of the device will be appearing on Kickstarter in the next few weeks, if you're interested enough to take a punt on these becoming a reality.
