Greetings, cheeps! I’m off-duty this week, but that won’t stop me from keeping the cool stuff coming — starting with this killer contest. (Just to clarify, you may see a day or two this week without a new deal. I know, I know, but it’ll be OK. Think of the money you’ll save!)
Olio may not be the best-known smartwatch brand, but I suspect after seeing the company’s products, you’ll be more than happy to win one. Because droooooool….
Olio
Here’s what’s on the menu for three lucky winners:
- First place: Black link watch (retail $795)
- Second place: Steel link watch (retail $645)
- Third place: Steel with brown leather watch (retail $595)
What’s so special about Olio’s watches? If you have eyes, you already know: they’re gorgeous. They’re made of steel, water-resistant to 50 meters, able to charge wirelessly and compatible with both Android and iOS. Most watches that boast that last feature rely on Android Wear, but Olio uses a custom OS. I wish I could say I’ve had the chance to test it, but my review unit must have gotten lost in the mail, ahem.
