To recap

At the moment this watch has a tiny potential audience. There are not many people with supported phones, it’s a bit too expensive and the app support is too limited. But the hardware is incredibly well thought-out, and it’s got more potential than any other device like it on the market. It might not be quite there yet, but with some work it could be a great addition to your wrist.
