If you think there are too many smartwatches on the market already, just wait until this time next year. The Olio Model One is another newcomer, but it’s not Android Wear. However, just like the Pebble and Pebble Time, it’s compatible with both iOS (8.0+) and Android (4.3+).
Let’s start with the quality and design. It sports a 316L stainless steel case that’s brushed with hand-polished accents. It has a Guilloché textured high-impact Ion-Exchange glass crystal and caseback. The case is 47 mm and weighs 81 grams with the genuine leather band or 161 grams with the steel link bracelet. It’s also water-resistant.
Olio didn’t go into the specifics of what processor they are using or the resolution of the display. As you can see in the images, the display is not fully round. It’s a flat tire at the top vs at the bottom on the Moto 360. We do know that it sports Bluetooth 4.0 and LE, along with wireless charging.
They are offering the watch in two variants. The Steel collection is silver and starts at $595 with a your choice of one of three leather straps or $645 with a silver steel link strap.
The Black collection is black and starts at $745 with a your choice of one of three leather straps or $795 with a black steel link strap.
The first run will include only 500 each of the Steel and Black collections and they will ship this summer. You can sign up to be one of the first to know when they are taking orders. Just hit up the source link below.
