Verdict
The Olio Model One looks best in gold, but its basic features, thick bezel and small screen area make it hard to recommend.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Olio Model One

  • High-end luxury aesthetic with a solid stainless steel, hand-polished case
  • Premium build quality comparable to traditional Swiss timepieces
  • Compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones
  • Features a unique cloud-based 'Olio Assist' digital assistant for managing notifications
  • Supports wireless charging, typically reaching a full charge in less than an hour
  • Water-resistant design suitable for swimming (up to 50m)

What we don't like about Olio Model One

  • Olio is out of business, meaning there is no official customer support or firmware updates
  • Battery life is widely reported as poor, often failing to last a full day despite claims
  • Lacks essential modern features like a heart rate monitor and dedicated fitness tracking
  • The watch face has a 'flat tire' cutout at the top, which some users find unattractive
  • Software and touch interface can be laggy, unresponsive, or confusing
  • Large 47mm case size and substantial weight may be too bulky for many users
  • Very high original retail price (starting at $595) for limited smart functionality

Verdict

The Olio Model One is a luxury-oriented smartwatch featuring a 47mm 316L stainless steel case, a 1.3-inch IPS LCD display (216 PPI) with an 'inverted flat tire' design, and high-impact ion-exchange glass. Internally, it runs on a 600MHz TI OMAP3 processor with 512MB RAM and 1GB storage, offering cross-platform compatibility with iOS and Android via proprietary software centered on 'Earlier' and 'Later' notification streams. Key pros include its premium build quality, rapid wireless charging (under 1 hour), and a 'time-saving' UI that avoids cluttered apps. However, major cons include a lack of fitness tracking, a bulky 47mm frame, and the fact that the company is defunct, meaning the 'Olio Assist' cloud services and app support are no longer active.
