The Olio Model One - A new smart watch that looks pretty cool.. for $595. #Olio #Smartwatch by @jimboireland

Like it or not the smartwatch is here and its here to stay,how long is anyones guess but there has been plenty of watches announced this year so far which may look aesthetically well but this one is different plus it has the looks too and i like it. Im pretty reserved on smart watches even though i wear one,the Apple watch didnt do it for me but this has the looks and appears to have what it takes to set a new example going forward.This watch does have a moto 360 look to it which i currently own so perhaps thats why im drawn to it right now.
