I’m sorry to report that Olio Devices didn’t make it… as far as I can tell.
Back in 2015, I spent most of the year doing an extended round up of smart watches. I’m sorry to report that most of the devices that I reviewed as part of that round up, including
The Microsoft Band
The Fitbit Surge, and the
Pebble Time
have all met a rather disappointing demise. None of these devices are available for purchase today, not even two years since I published each review (or there abouts…)
Microsoft introduced Band in December of 2014; and it was one of the HOTTEST items for that Holiday season. I was fortunate enough to get one for both me AND my wife. Unfortunately, they weren’t very comfortable and the battery life sucked. Microsoft followed Band up with Band 2; but then discontinued the device in the middle of 2016. The entire team had their direction refocused on Microsoft Health; but even THAT is nowhere to be found. It seems Microsoft’s foray into wearables and in the health market doesn’t have a consumer presence to speak of, and never will.
