One face on the back of the wrist for time and notifications. A second face on the inside for biometrics, GPS, and the data you need to see right now. Built for operators, first responders, healthcare workers, tradespeople, athletes, drivers, and parents — anyone whose hands are full, or whose eyes need to stay on what they're doing.
Every time you check your wrist, you have to lift it. Pause the run. Drop the handlebars. Let go of the hose. Break the conversation. Single-display watches force a tradeoff between the moment you're in and the information you actually need.
For a soldier in a stack, that tradeoff is a tactical liability. For a firefighter on a hose, a safety risk. For a cyclist on a descent, a runner mid-stride, a parent holding a child, a surgeon mid-procedure, or a driver gripping the wheel, it's the same physical interruption. Every time.
WARTEK pairs a primary display on the dorsal (back of wrist) with a synchronized secondary display on the volar (palm side). A glance at the palm, with your hand naturally turned, surfaces time, navigation, biometrics, and live data without ever lifting your arm. Operators read intel without breaking posture. Athletes check pace without breaking stride. Anyone, in any moment, can see what they need without interrupting what they're doing.
The dorsal face delivers time, navigation, and notifications the way every watch already does. Refined for the gear and conditions that demand more.
The volar face surfaces biometrics, GPS, and live data without ever lifting your arm. Discreet, hands-free, and uniquely WARTEK.
Time, navigation, notifications, and your full menu. The same wrist-up glance every watch supports, refined for the gear and conditions that demand more.
Biometrics, GPS, and live data accessible with your hand naturally turned. Turn your palm. Read it. Stay in the moment.
Two displays designed at scale to do specific work. The dorsal face is sized for full readability and menu navigation. The volar face is compact, discreet, and purpose-built for hands-low data access without taking over the inside of your wrist.
The primary face. Optimized for time, navigation, notifications, and full menu interaction with the wrist-up glance.
The secondary face. Compact and intentional. Built to show what you need at a glance, without overwhelming the inside of the wrist.
Industrial design refined through the patent process. From the dorsal face to the volar pocket, the side profile to the inter-case wiring channel hidden inside the band — every surface is part of the protected design.
This is what WARTEK actually shows you, mode by mode. Both faces update together. Tap any mode below to see what each face renders in that context — from a quiet wrist-check to a full mission readout.
Every field on every face is configurable on the watch via the touchscreen and corner buttons. No phone required.
Every wrist wearable on the market — Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Fitbit, Polar — measures heart rate the same way: an LED shines into the skin, and a photosensor reads how light scatters as blood pulses through the capillaries underneath. The science is sound. The placement is a compromise.
Because consumer watches have only one face, that sensor is forced onto the back of the wrist — where the skin is thicker, hair follicles scatter the optical signal, and tendons and bone get in the way of the vessels you're trying to read. WARTEK's dual-case architecture removes the compromise. The biometric sensor sits against the volar wrist — the same anatomy a medic palpates to check a pulse — where the skin is thinner, vascular density is higher, and the radial artery runs close to the surface.

Every WARTEK ships ready to operate completely off-grid. No phone tether. No app required. No cloud account to create. No telemetry phoning home. The moment you take it out of the box, the watch is fully operable — configure both displays, capture biometrics, navigate by GPS, review history — all on the watch itself.
Want long-term analytics or to push data to Strava and Apple Health? Pair the companion app. Want to monitor an entire team without ever touching the public internet? Add the WARTEK Hub. Both are additive. Neither is required.
Fully self-contained from the moment of unboxing. Dual displays, biometrics, GPS, navigation, history, configuration — all on the device. No external dependencies. Ever.
Pair when you want long-term graphs, multi-device sync, deeper trend analysis, or to push data into Strava, Apple Health, or Garmin Connect. Pair when you want to. Don't when you don't.
For squad leaders, unit medics, and training cadres who need real-time team biometrics without an internet connection. Local encrypted mesh. Air-gapped. Never touches the public net.
Every WARTEK is a fully functional operator wearable out of the box. The app and hub extend the platform — they don't gate it.
Same watch. Same hardware. One platform. Connectivity is always a choice — never a requirement.
Engineered to the standards operators demand, made for everyone who works, trains, or lives the same way. Every detail below is described in the WARTEK utility patent. This isn't aspirational marketing. It's the protected design.
Reduced-visibility red backlight option and black background mode preserve night vision and avoid drawing attention. Critical for operations, hunting, astronomy, sleeping partners, and anywhere a bright screen is a problem.
Both displays are touch-sensitive, and four oversized corner buttons are sized for gloved, wet, or sweaty hands. Choose your input mode on the fly: touch + buttons for everyday use, buttons-only with the touchscreen locked when rain, gloves, or accidental contact would trigger it, or touch-only when you'd rather not bump the buttons. Switch any time, without leaving what you're doing.
Cases and band are designed to be unharmed by sweat or total submersion. Sealed seams and gasketed entry points.
Rubberized coating on both cases absorbs mechanical shock from drops, impacts, and field abuse. Inter-case wiring hidden inside the elastic band.
Onboard GPS receiver delivers full position and synchronizes time. Read it on either face, without ever pulling out a phone.
Contact sensor captures body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen. Read from either face, without ever interrupting what you're doing.
3-axis accelerometer for movement, orientation, and activity tracking. Pairs with biometrics for a complete physiological picture in motion.
Rechargeable and/or replaceable battery design supports multi-day deployments, long expeditions, ultra runs, and anywhere you can't get to a charger.
What appears on each face is your call. Move biometrics to the dorsal, navigation to the volar, mission data wherever it helps most. Touchscreen menus and corner buttons let you configure the layout right on the watch — no phone or app required.
All features above are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 12,625,472. Final manufacturing specifications subject to selection during production.
The same architecture that serves a Tier 1 operator on patrol serves a welder on a job site, a nurse on a 12-hour shift, an NFL safety in recovery, a mountaineer above the tree line, and a commuter trying to manage stress.

The watch is already the platform. Everything works on its own. The companion app exists for moments when you want to see your biometrics on a bigger screen, drill into months of history, manage your team's vitals at a glance, or push data into Strava and Apple Health. It's a window into the watch — not a leash on it.

Every competitor is architecturally constrained to a single dorsal display. Their hardware can't accommodate the volar face without giving up the dorsal — and they can't add the dorsal back without infringing the WARTEK patent.
The WARTEK utility patent covers any wrist-worn timekeeping device with paired dorsal and volar cases, each bearing its own display showing time and biometric data. The independent claim is deliberately scoped to the category, not tied to a specific screen technology, sensor stack, material, or branding.
U.S. Utility Patent. Granted by the USPTO. Patent No. 12,625,472 B2 issued May 12, 2026. Protection runs through March 15, 2044. Foreign filings, continuation strategy, and investment terms available under NDA.
Detailed BOM, COGS estimates, production capacity ramp, and certification timelines available under NDA.
WARTEK was founded by Jaylan Mobley, a former U.S. Army officer who served ten plus years in the National Guard, where he made history as the first cyber officer commissioned in the West Virginia National Guard. He went on to become the first Faculty Fellow at Marshall University, established through a partnership between the West Virginia Military Authority and Marshall University that bridges the gap between academia and the military. He also worked as a contractor inside the defense industry.
The dual-display concept didn't come from a single moment of personal frustration. It came from observation. Across the military, first-responder, and active-enthusiast markets, Jaylan watched operators routinely wear their watches on the inside of their wrists for accessibility. Quick, low-profile glances without breaking posture. That accessibility insight is what became WARTEK.
When no one was building it, he spent three years getting it patented. Deliberately broad, so the category couldn't be taken from him.
Today, Jaylan is a full-time founder and brand strategist with a 175,000+ social audience, a top-3 creator ranking from Traackr in 2025, and 300M+ views across platforms. His brand partnership history includes Nike, Heineken, Puma, General Mills, Netflix, Universal Studios, FlexCar, WNBA, NFL, Heavenly Brands, Fanatics, Jordan, and the G7 Foundation. WARTEK combines what he learned about what tactical end users actually need with what he knows about how to build a brand.
SOF Week is the annual gathering of the global Special Operations Forces community — hosted by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Global SOF Foundation. Each May, Tampa fills with special operations personnel, allied forces, defense manufacturers, and the technology companies building what comes next.
WARTEK came to SOF Week 2026 to put the world's first dual-display tactical watch in front of the people it's built for. Over four days, founder Jaylan Mobley met with defense manufacturers, potential strategic partners, and operators — introducing the WARTEK platform and gathering direct feedback from the special operations community.
The conversations from that week are already shaping where WARTEK goes next.
WARTEK serves four natural markets — each one a category the dual-display platform is uniquely positioned to own. This is the opportunity a seed investor is backing.
Garmin (Tactix / Defense), Suunto, Casio (Master of G), Sionyx — a patented category their current lineup can't legally touch.
A protected wrist platform for SOF, infantry, EOD, and combat medical — ready to bring to programs via SBIR · SOFWERX · AFWERX pathways.
Wildland fire, SAR, mountaineering, maritime. A category-defining product for first-responder and performance brands.
A brand with distribution and story — a turn-key, patent-protected launch with built-in founder reach.
WARTEK is a single patented platform — the dual-display architecture and volar biometric sensor never change. What changes is the connectivity layer: a Bluetooth-enabled consumer configuration, and a Bluetooth-free tactical configuration built for TAK integration and operational security. Rolled out in phases, consumer first.
