> Not everyone has the same needs.

True, but almost all of the people don't really need a smartwatch :)

Never bought a smartwatch, even when I was in love with the Pebble. I hate having to charge it every day. I don't need notifications on my wrist.

I have a Casio that has a 10 years battery and dual timezone I need when I travel and a TAG Heuer when I need a "better looking" watch.

I don't need to track steps or trainings. Even when I did it was with stupid gadgets like early fitbit bands without displays.

When I will need something that will alert people when I fall (in many years from now, hopefully) I will use a specialized device.

Autistici/Inventati is an Italian collective, active since around 2001, that runs free digital services for activists, grassroots groups and anyone who wants to communicate without being profiled.

It provides email accounts, mailing lists, blogs, websites, chat and VPN access.

That page is not replicable. Probably 100+ devs tried. It was a one hit wonder :D
