In computerized hours Apple has a new serious contender - smart watch Olio Model One, the creator of which was directly involved in the development of products "apple" of the company. Steve Jacobs plans to offer exclusively luxury model that would "save users from hell notifications".
Olio Model One, by former designer of Apple, clad in metal waterproof design. Jacobs consciously avoids presence on Kickstarter, Indiegogo and even on the open platform of Google, preferring to make everything up to the zipper. Admission pre-orders opened for two weeks before Apple started taking orders for the Apple Watch, which means that the time to take your Olio.
"Olio Model One - it's the complete opposite of mass products. Our project is designed for those who want to own the latest technology, but on its own terms - said Jacobs. - Do not forget that what you wear on your wrist should be there for a purpose".
The first thing that catches your eye - the shape of the display with an insert at the bottom.According to Jacobs, this is due to the design of the circuit board for displays, and no manufacturer of "smart" watches have not been able to work around these limitations. That is why the company has developed a design that, in her opinion, is optimal for the screen of this form.
Olio is off-line for up to two days, and in power saving mode - three days. In this case, the watches is turned off wireless interfaces and no longer display any notice, making them the usual wrist chronometer. Battery and other components can be easily replaced. Jacobs plan is to make the watch is fully modular, allowing the owner to replace any part of the appearance of more advanced technologies.
Among other features Olio Model One: dynamic visualization interface that adapts to the user convenient organization notifications personal assistant support "smart" sign, cross-platform.
The first batch of Olio not exceed 1 000 copies. The developer proposed two lines of watches costing $ 595 and $ 745, which mate with the iPhone or Android-smartphone. In addition to luxurious design, Olio attempts digital sorting uninterrupted stream of letters, text messages, notifications and reminders.
