Why PeekSmith 3 is better than an Apple Watch or a smart band?
PeekSmith was designed for magicians, and the messages are staying on the screen. Apple Watch and smart bands are turning off their screens after a while to save battery, and you cannot turn this feature off. PeekSmith is compatible with several apps has no Apple Watch or other smart device support, too.
