One Day at Art Basel: A Narrative Editorial With the Olio Connected Watch

Olio’s line of connected watches dip into the realm of luxury and style; the flagship piece, the Model One, exudes class with its 316L stainless steel case and high impact ion-exchange glass crystal and case back, while your choice of a traditional link bracelet setup can be swapped out for a more stylish Italian leather strap to match the occasion where ever and when ever you find yourself. But what about the functional aspects? Olio’s mentality is that of a hybrid between form and function — there’s no reason a beautiful watch can’t help you every step of the way during any given hectic day.

To experience the Olio Model One and its abilities, we put its hardware and software to the test during a busy morning-to-evening routine in Miami, Florida during the illustrious Art Basel. With Bluetooth connectivity to our smartphone, the Model One granted us numerous advantages ranging from checking the weather throughout the day, getting alerts when our Uber was outside, setting reminders and hitting up the girl. As our routines went by, the watch’s potential shined as it helped us be productive, stay alert and even unwind throughout the rigors of the day. The flexibility of the band style allowed us to fit in with the atmosphere when called upon, and its ease of use was definitely a plus — at one point it disappeared from our minds but was there in an instant when needed.
