Well, I certainly enjoyed wearing the Elliot Havok watch, and I liked that the Chronos could adapt to my other timepieces. If you have a see-through caseback on an automatic watch, you might not want to cover it up, but the micro-suction does no damage.
I also liked that the Chronos was limited in its functions. I used all of them, often. Especially useful were the alerts and the media controller.
Initially, the fitness tracker was cool, but then I noticed something: my numbers rarely changed. Admittedly, I wasn't upping my goals or wearing the Chronos while exercising. I liked knowing that I was taking over 5,000 steps each day, but once I learned that was my pace, I quit worrying about it.
That was the only drawback I faced, but that's me. If you are a more fitness-conscious number cruncher, then the Chronos is a perfect way to smarten up your existing timepieces.
At $100, I'd say it's worth it, certainly to try for a few months. I've found myself going back to it over and over again, although I haven't used it consistently, except for about a two-month period. The thinness is a big plus — it makes a bracelet watch snugger, and of course, anything with a strap can be adjusted — but Nichol says he wants to get it thinner.
