Case Study: BLOCKS achieves precise, shareable 3‑m location accuracy for smartwatch wearers with what3words

3 words on your wrist with what3words and BLOCKS

BLOCKS, a maker of modular smartwatches that let users snap on different functional modules like GPS and heart-rate monitors, faced a usability problem: GPS coordinates are precise but hard to read, share and verify, making it easy to mistype or miscommunicate a location.

BLOCKS partnered with what3words to display and share memorable 3‑word addresses on the watch, giving wearers a verified, offline-capable way to communicate a precise 3m x 3m location with near 100% accuracy. The integration improves safety and convenience for emergencies, meetups, taxis and deliveries by making exact locations simple to find and share.
