The first generation watch earned a 6/10 score from TrustedReviews back in January 2015.
It earned points for being one of the best-looking smartwatches on the block with a slim build and a premium feel. It was also lauded for having the best battery life for an Android Wear device at the time.
While the design was considered top notch, the lack of a buttons hampered use, while the screen was deemed unreadable in bright sunlight.
