The Cogito Original might not have all the features other smartwatches have, but it also doesn’t look like you’re wearing a graphing calculator on your wrist. The watch allows you to see who is calling or messaging you and decide whether you want to answer or mute it and it happens to actually look good in the process. You can also view alerts and you won’t have to worry about charging as the battery will easily last for over a year. No it doesn’t have all the apps, features, and Facebook integration that other smartwatches do, but it happens to actually look like, you know, a watch.
