this is the smartest wearable I've seen yet.

See, that's basically all I want. Though I wonder if it does the other thing that I sort of want, which is to have it vibrate solely on reminders, alarms, and timers. I don't want my wrist to buzz every time that I get an email or text.

Maybe have it buzz on a phone call, I get very few of those, and still miss some because my phone is in the other room. If I could press the button my wristband to accept the call and put the phone on speaker, then I could just shout until I found the phone.

I don't need a complex screen (a simple LED array to show the time is fine), I don't need a camera, or wifi, or anything like that.

This is just about right I think. Shame I'm an iPhone user these days.

good to know how Fitbit, Nike, Jawbone are ripping customers off selling their bands for $80 or more.
hope its easy to find an importer when this band comes out.

Cheap, but ugly.
