Commenting to something you didn't read? j/k but it's not electronic in any way. It's more like those belts that clamp instead of having the pin hole, except that the clamp won't rough up the leather.

You do raise a valid point, even if by accident: The word "smart" is getting to be overused, to the point that it evokes very specific expectations - ones that this belt does not even attempt satisfy. I would have named it differently.

Your response brought to mind quite a dystopian, yet periodically comical future.
