a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels, features always-on functionality and has two
physical buttons (similar to rotating crowns seen on other smartwatches) on the
sides. The top button helps you to scroll through the user interface and the
lower button helps you customise app launch shortcuts.

by Google, features NFC, GPS, and heart rate monitor. It packs a 355mAh battery
