We’ve all experienced it. You’re waiting for an important call. You step away from your phone for just a few moments and return to a dreaded “Missed Call” notification. Or you call someone to chat about something important, and they don’t pick up.

Blocks hopes to court enterprise customers with its modular smartwatch
As we noted earlier this week, the mere fact that Blocks was able to bring its modular smartwatch system to market feels like a minor miracle. The company appears to have not taken the easy route in any respect. It could have launched an Android Wear device, but instead opted to skin a scaled down version of stock Android.
