Dot Watch – A braille and tactile smartwatch

A smartwatch for vision impaired, advertised a website without a lot of accessibility provisions (not to mention the scrolljacking and "are you sure you want to leave" onexit hooks).

What a world we live in.

The onexit hook is surprisingly caused by the embedded Google form.

That message doesn't make any sense since I didn't even touch the form.

Sadly, I came to say this too. Looks more like a kickstarter gauging interest (with the crappy google form for "pre order") than an actual existing product.

This is what I was thinking the whole time... The "Preorder" button scrolls you to a spot on the page where there is no easy information about preordering. This website is really poorly designed..
