Is this a new model, or the same one that sells on EBay for 80$? (Many were made to be sold as Verizon-only "secondary device" and are now surplus).
If so, reports are that the battery life is extremely short.

It is the same one they released back in 2018 from the specs:

Same one. Should be like 3 years old, the original plan indeed was to make it work like an Apple Watch that share the number with your main phone.

I think this is new, at least compared to the one they originally released. The page says that it's carrier unlocked, whereas the original one was locked to Verizon (via a primary big phone).

You're thinking of the Palm Pixi, I think. This is a new Android device by the looks of it.
