Smart-Strap for nearly anywatch
Discussion
Has anyone actually seen these in the flesh - I think the concept is great - not sure about the rubber one's strength for a medium to heavy weight self winding chronograph:

I have always wondered whether you could use the winding mechanism to produce power for a smartwatch....

Your question about kinetic winding was answered by Chronos when they released the Chronos Disk that converts any watch into a smart watch (https://wearchronos.com).
Apparently the movement is no where near enough to generate even a fraction of the power needed for a smart watch or even the disc.
The disc was short lived though and the company imploded very quickly when the discs started coming apart immediately on wearing them.
I had 2 the first didn’t fall apart until week 2, the second fell apart after less than 20mins of wear. Luckily I bought mine in Macy’s so could return it for a refund, most people bought them direct so lost the disc usage and money.
The strap concept looks a good move though.
