This is the first time I've seen the product, and I was immediately excited.. until I saw the product.

Now, I don't know what it does that my $40 smart watch doesn't do, by passing my voice to google / alexa / <choice>. I like where this is going, I just don't think that this generation has even the same features, as what I carry on my wrist, sadly.



It’s a cancelled product from 2018, you shouldn’t expect to be wowed if you’re comparing it to the current state of the wearable art.


How are you looking at a map with a $40 smart watch while riding a bike?

Sure, the high end options from apple and garmin can show maps, but you are always going to have to take a hand off the handlebar to have a good look at that tiny screen (that's why cyclists spend up to 1000$ on garmin bike computers).

There's certainly a market for a lightweight HUD and i am pretty sure some company like xreal will eventually have another shot at it.


I don't look at a map whilst riding a bike period. I don't have that want. Differently people use tech differently.
