Smartphone maker Phonebloks has introduced the concept for its modular smartwatch Blocks as it makes its debut in the wearable market.

The device is designed so users can customize it with options for motion sensors, GPS; heart monitors; blood oxygen monitors; fingerprint scanners; environment sensors; batteries and other features, according to CNET.

The new wearable's unveiling is Phonebloks' latest move in reducing electronic waste and protecting the environment.

"Wearable devices are very personal devices, so naturally, being able to customize yours would be amazing, as you could make it unique to your own lifestyle! Also because smartwatch technology is so new, there are new versions of products being released every few months, so the sustainability angle that modularity brings would also be a huge plus," designer Hakeem Javaid wrote on the Phonebloks blog.

Blocks also comes with different choices for displays, which include E-Ink, circular and square LCD, China Topix reported.

The company is currently testing the wearable to see if it will work on Intel and Samsung's Tizen OS interface. The smartwatch may also be tested with Android Wear and other platforms.

Phonebloks said it received $50,000 in funding with Blocks in Intel's Make It Wearable challenge this year, CNET reported. The smartwatch placed in the top 10 finalists out of over 400 participants.

A crowdfunding effort for Blocks will begin in the second quarter of 2015, and Phonebloks plans to ship the smartwatch to customers at the end of next year.
