Seriously. Google watch. My current watch has no problems since there are no bad "updates"
I'm thinking about buying this watch, but I'm seriously thinking about not because of the lack of updates and how quickly google kills their products (google tv anyone?)
Before with all my toys (computers, tvs etc etc.) it lasted as long as the circuitry inside lasted i.e. NES, SNS, N64 etc etc.
Now, it's a matter of updates. My device will be usable for the next X amount of years (hell, not even 18 months cause google always drops the ball.)
Google has no problem providing updates to chrome uses on windows xp, but god forbid this company provide updates for their nexus phones.
I don't think I'm willing to buy a new watch, new phone, new thermostat, new fridge, new car, new irrigation system, new washer, dryer, dishwasher etc etc. just because google "drops" support like it always does ever 1 year or so.
And don't say "Root," if I'm paying for a device, I'm paying for an O.S. designed by google to keep pushing updates for a reasonable amount of time, geez windows xp gave out a solid 12 years of update support
