Interesting, I didn't know Espruino (JS) smartwatch as USP has its takers. It seems to ship directly from UK, Is it made completely in UK? So may be that explains double the price than other nRF52832 watches. >doesn't have an hardware step counter Did you buy an earlier version? Buy page lists pedometer[1]. >Dislikes: it's big, very big, and ugly Ah! Where tech forgets fashion again...Google Glass(Gulp).

The watch is made in China, but the software is made by them. The page says there's a pedometer but if you look at the datasheet of the accelerometer there isn't [1]. So it's computed in software (it's inside Espruino) but it's really basic. I have proposed Gordon, the author, an open source algorithm which I developed with some students (Oxford step counter), and he seems interested, but it takes some time to integrate and calibrate so, AFAIK, it's not there yet. About the size, I don't really mind, it's quirky, but it definitely doesn't follow the latest trends in terms of fashion...
