Olio Model 1 Smartwatch From New Company With Top Talent
Olio was first introduced to me in a conversation with a venture capitalist who said, "there is someone I want you to meet who is working on a high-end smartwatch up in San Francisco." As soon as I learned that said individual was near Silicon Valley and not in Switzerland, I was immediately intrigued. The definition of "high-end smartwatch" in California certainly differs from what it means in Geneva. I'd venture a guess that the former implies some proficient level of functionality and engineering, whereas the latter all to frequently implies a chic design with gold, and sometimes diamonds. So my mind was open and all I knew was that someone would eventually be reaching out to me from a company call Olio.Some brief research on Olio resulted in extra excitement merely based on the members of the Olio development team. Steven Jacobs - Olio's founder - heralds from Apple and Hewlett Packard in their hardware development groups, and other members of the Olio team come from places such as

15400 - Blue Dial Pricing
I was in NY this week for work and stopped in the AP boutique. I had actually wanted to see the two-tone rose gold/steel in person, but came away loving the blue dial iteration. Would I be right to assume that it's not really possible to swing any kind of discounts from the boutiques? I've got a local AD that says he can get me 25-30% off a black dial so I'm hoping someone will tell me that I'm wrong ;).

Stainless or Ceramic Diver - if you could only have one!
Hi All,I'm in a bit of a predicament and would appreciate your thoughts!I've managed to save for an AP and tried on a stainless diver a few weeks back - fell in love. They didn't have a ceramic version in stock but it has really caught my eye on the forums recently; I actually think it's an even better looking watch. I see that the majority of people on here seem to agree, from the results of a recent poll.Whilst my bank accont may be able to stretch to the ceramic, I'm certainly not going to be able to afford both anytime soon. Whilst my heart is telling me to go for the ceramic, my head is telling me that the stainless will be more 'versatile' - by that I mean I think it would look OK both casual and relatively formal (don't know about the rubber band but with a steel bracelet). I can't see the ceramic ever looking good with a suit and I can imagine it being purely more of a weekend watch.My question would be: even if you prefer the ceramic, would you go for the stainless if you coul
