What makes Olio different than other smartwatches from other companies is that Olio does not comes with app store or additional apps for the watch. This is because Steve Jacobs, the CEO and founder of Olio believes that Apple and other manufacturers had made a mistake by trying to repeat the success of the smartphone app store into smartwatch as the display size of a smartwatch is much smaller than smartphone.
