WEARABLE tech start-up UNA Watch has secured more than £300,000 investment from SFC Capital as it prepares to take on industry giants Apple and Garmin with the world's first repairable modular GPS sports watch.

Edinburgh-based UNA Watch, which also won the £100,000 top prize from Scottish EDGE last year, is pioneering a new category of sustainable smartwatches, allowing users to repair, replace, and upgrade components instead of discarding entire devices. The innovation aligns with the growing Right to Repair movement and addresses the mounting e-waste crisis, with 62 million tonnes of consumer electronics discarded annually.
