Don't know if anyone has heard of these, they're smart watches that link up with your iPhone/android device, you can read your texts&emails on them, it tells you who's calling ect ect very exciting gadget!

Anyway I got mine today, cracked open the SDK package and created this watch face!

Very chuffed!! :D

I clicked onto this when I saw the OP title thinking it was a new BBC programme about geology.

Don't mean to piss on your chips mate but if I were ever to get a smart watch I would expect something better than that with todays technology. It looks like a tamagotchi.

I know what you mean but they purposely chose that display, and it's the best smart watch on the market atm, getting amazing reviews

Its an e-ink display I believe isn't it James? similar to what they use on a kindle. Means it's easier to read in sunlight and the battery will last for ages. It does look good if not a bit pricey.

Just had a quick look and the apple Sony and Samsung ones are more of what I am thinking of when I think of a smart watch.

As long as it serves its purpose though

That's right! :)

The customisability is amazing too, so much out there for it, the SDK kit basically lets you edit it how you want, and there are a lot of pre-made apps from third party users/developers already, I believe this watch will be able to do so much, and we are only scratching the surface.


And I can play old school snake on it! :D
