The Martian Notifier is a great choice for those who want a smartwatch within the design of a regular wrist watch. Its affordable but stylish although the rubber strap isn’t the most comfortable. It’s main skill is notifications but the additional features like remote camera control are handy. Our main issue is the extra cost of shipping it over from the US so we’re hoping for a UK launch soon.
