Design and Practicality
Founder David Ohayon said he grew tired of choosing between his analog watch and Apple Watch each morning. The design aims to let users switch from a “fitness nerd” to a “polished executive” with a flick of the wrist. However, the added bulk means the strap may feel cumbersome against desks, armrests, and tabletops, especially for those who already wear slim watches.
