Verdict

The Razer Nabu is a hybrid wearable featuring a 128x32 pixel monochrome OLED private message screen and a 3-axis accelerometer for tracking steps, distance, calories, and sleep. Key characteristics include an IP54 splash-resistant rubber build, a magnetic clasp, and band-to-band social connectivity that allows users to exchange contact info via a handshake. Its main pros are a discreet notification system and a solid 6-7 day battery life from its lithium-polymer cell. However, common cons include a bulky design that can be uncomfortable on small wrists, a display that is difficult to read in direct sunlight, and a rubber material that tends to attract dust and lint.
