I’m kinda torn on this thing. I watched the LTT Wanshow segment about it and it seems cool. But also seems very gimmicky or like the entire thing could have been just an app. It will definitely be interesting to see how this technology grows and changes in the coming years if it really takes off. I know they sold out a bunch of their preorders so that might mean good things to come.

Sorta like that it's a physical device. This will sound dumb as hell but it reminds me of the pokedex from the Pokémon cartoons

Or, the Hitchhikers Guide.

I don't know if this particular device will take off, but I feel confident their approach will. When you see it in action you immediately realize today's world of dozens or hundreds of individual apps per device belongs in the past. It's only a matter of time.

Microsoft, Apple, and Google have built empires on the back of computer operating systems. If someone can make an AI OS that works like this Rabbit R1 demo, there's another empire waiting to be built.

I'd say this is the future of smart watches.
