guy with backup phone from failed company buys backup watch from probably failing company

Got my $140 Misfit Vapor today to bolster my wonky battery Moto 360 2. It's pretty nice so far, the added PPI over the Moto 360 2 is really noticeable. I'm a little worried about OLED burn in long term, but it does help it seem like a real watch by have absolute black levels.

It's a bit more nondescript and 'techy' looking than the Moto 360 2, no one's going to be mistaking it for a designer watch. Ordered a couple replacement 20mm bands to upgrade from the included silicon ones.

The 44mm case is a bit smaller than I would like for my wrist, but it doesn't look hilariously small either so it will do.

It's hard to argue with the price of this thing. If it lasts another two years, then it would be money well spent.

misfit was started by noted apple ceo john sculley and has, thus far, defied all odds and not been bought by fitbit so they should be perfect for someone that doesnt want mainstream support and product lifecycles

well practically speaking they don't, which is why the pixel/essential phone/every other non-bargain-basement-trash-tier android is a complete flop
