A custom operating system and built-in assistant not only keeps you update with calendar, weather and the location, but also understands your habits and preferences. So, this sense of understanding will make the Olio to think about where you are and what you are doing to make suggestions. For example, if you are just going to enter in a meeting, then it will ask to silent all the notifications for that time duration of meeting.
Categorizing alerts in two parts, the developers of Olio allow you to check what you have missed and what will be happening for rest of the day. You can also allow you to receive calls and read messages and will also give you the option of remind you later for the same. Swipe to left on the watchface will lead you to what’s happening in future, and swipe right will take you to the past stuffs, you have missed.
