Do you think finding a connected watch that’s smart enough to be useful, stylish enough that it’ll go with anything, and so technically competent it’ll sync with your choice of smartphone, no matter the brand is impossible? It’s not, because the Olio Model One ticks those boxes, and then adds high-end materials and a choice of gorgeous finishes for good measure. What a show-off.
Compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, the Model One delivers a variety of prioritized notifications to your wrist, while the Olio Assist feature adds time saving suggestions, all of which are shown on a circular touchscreen. Made from 316L stainless steel, the Olio Model One also comes in 24K gold, and either with a metal link bracelet or an Italian leather strap. The body is impact and shock resistant, dust proof, and water resistant to 50m. Not that you’ll want to test out these features, it’s way too good-looking for such rough treatment.
There’s always a downside though, and for the Olio Model One, it’s that the watch is only produced in limited numbers, and one of the most desirable — the Black Link Model One — costs $795. However, neither of those are a concern here, as one could still be strapped to your wrist in the near future anyway, thanks to our Olio Model One giveaway. Contest over

Rokid’s AI glasses offer a more affordable route to wearables than Meta Ray-Ban
The AI Glasses Style is completely screenless and weighs just 38.5 grams, making it light enough to wear all day without discomfort. Instead of visual overlays, it relies on voice, audio, and a built-in 12MP Sony camera capable of shooting 4K video in clips up to 10 minutes.
Forget the watch, Apple’s AI Pin might be its next wearable move
According to the details shared so far, the wearable is still in the very early stages of development. In fact, Apple could launch it or even cancel it, depending on how engineering and market conditions evolve. That said, people familiar with the project say the company is targeting a 2027 release window, a move that would position Apple directly against other AI wearable efforts from competitors like OpenAI and others experimenting with similar form factors.
