(Yes, yes they will/have/constantly do. :()Early adopted these, no idea why most ppl buy them never bought one again, just seemed useless lol, ar fake watch will be more likebwhat I want
I like mine but I got it as a prize from a work event. After having one for about a month now, I can confidently say that buying one is not worth the money to me, but it is nice to have.
