What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

Earth days?
The price is absurd as well, especially with that warranty.
I’m going to sit and watch how they do for a year before considering buying one. My Apple watch is nearing EOL with the crowns push button only working like 25% of the time, so will be on the lookout for a replacement.
199 is absurd? I'm lost on what other smartwatch with these specs are around this price point. I like it, wish the band was a bit thicker. But more than anything I wish they would make something a bit more fitness focused so I could ditch the apple watch completely. The only reason I even use it anymore is for fitness tracking. The fact android offers no other (somewhat) reasonable privacy focused fitness/health tracking is what's absurd to me.
You could probably pick up a $50 smart watch from AliExpress that does more. But that's not the target audience of this thing at all
Garmin?
Very interested. I like more traditional looking watches.
Looks pretty cool. Think I’ll wait until well after release to check reviews and observe quality control. But maybe someday I’ll pick one up.
Ah yes, the pebble is round. Quite. Indeed.
