Delta Speaker, Ochei Enmeshed in N27b, IPP Sleaze Blames Gov. Uduaghan for Abandonment of Project

Hello, this is your wristwatch calling

The good: Slick throwback design with an analog flair; decent battery life; easy pairing for basic speakerphone calls or Siri requests. Useful for screening incoming calls and texts.

The bad: Way too expensive compared with its competition; not water-resistant; background noise makes Bluetooth speakerphone feature tough to use in noisy outdoor environments.

The bottom line: The Martian Passport Watch has style galore and a clever two-way wristwatch aesthetic, but it's ultimately more of a cool novelty than a must-have accessory.
