660,000 Americans are handling their phones - checking email, scrolling through twitter - while driving. We can’t stop people from feeling the need to check their email and social media, but O6 does something that no other product can do - it allows them to do it without taking their eyes off the road - as simply and easily as they flip through radio stations in their car.
Quick Start 1. Charge O6 until the light turns blue. 2. Download the “O6 Free Your Eyes” app from the App Store and log into your various channel accounts (e.g. email, Twitter, etc). 3. Pair your phone and O6 via Bluetooth.

This dial also acts as a button, though in most of the O6 modes, the Ring and Bezel buttons are programmed to perform the same function. Their functionality can be separated in the advanced modes (more on this later).
● Double haptic buzz – Indicates you have entered the Advanced Mode. Tip: The O6 app must be active, either in the foreground or in the background, for the O6 device to complete a mode transition.
