The problem (IMO) is that the tech isn&#x27;t there yet to enable the focus on trying to be tiny mobile phones, without huge sacrifices in terms of battery life.<p>No matter how good it is, a device in a watch form factor can&#x27;t provide THAT much in the way of utility, so it needs to be as hassle-free as possible in order to be a net benefit to its wearer. I think in this regard the early Pebble smartwatches were perfectly pitched.<p>Sadly Pebble decided to chase the Android &#x2F; Apple Watch market instead of refining their niche, with predictably poor results.
