I really like the Apple Watch. Or at least the idea of the Apple Watch. But for all its amazing-seeming functionality, it just doesn’t seem like it would be tough enough for me. I’d want to wear it 24/7 and for the activities that I engage in, it would need to be pretty durable. The folks

Most smartwatches look like smartwatches. But the SKAGEN Hagen Connected Hybrid Smartwatch looks more like a classic analog watch and as far as I’m concerned, that’s not a bad thing.
