Recently I have been looking into buying a smart watch like the Pebble or Gear 2. Does anyone have a smart watch or any research/suggestions on them?

A phone strapped to your wrist, that only works if it's paired with your actual phone and if it's in close enough proximity to it?
Sounds like a waste of effort, that's my thought on it >.>
I remember seeing a gadget show on TV where they showcased a few smart watches, and none of them were very good. One was a Sony, if I remember correctly.

I understand the problem of the having your phone on you, but I am in need of a watch anyways and I always like having something a bit out of the ordinary. I know they have a negative vibe overall but I've used my friends and I have to say it was pretty neat.

Smart phones do the same thing but its somehow more accurate on your wrist.

I should probably add I am also considering developing apps for the smart watches if I do get one. It would not just be for personal use.

My ex got a Pebble for Christmas. He was in love with it for like 2 weeks and then stopped wearing it. I think it lost it's appeal after he actually had it and was using it. But from what I had seen it worked well. Did what he wanted it to do.
I'm a Liger.... Want to see my Liger impersonation?
