Doesn't having the charging interface at the bottom allow one's sweat to corrode it? Does this mean i read the screen sideways? With the screen curved and so exposed, mean that it'll get scratched easily? Is the screen made of sapphire glass?

Quick question, why so long on the screen?

Fills a nice niche. Someone who wants something less intrusive. Just a passive device that is smaller than a watch. Is this a pebble killer?
