Anyone Interested in any of the rumored Smart Watches?

I need to put on reading glasses to use my galaxy 3. So a **** Tracy watch is a no go. I am waiting on the phone chip they can put in my brain.

I had one of the first truly Smart Watches, the Moto Actv. I loved it. It was perfect to take on runs and listen to music through Bluetooth headphones. It was a great 5\10K companion. Sadly, the watch face had the ability to come off of the watch attachment and tended to do so when you didn't want it to. I lost it at a track meet a while back without even noticing it was gone. I want to get another watch but I want to wait and see what Google\Samsung (even Apple if worse come to worst). The problem being, I can hardly find any info on any of them. I dont want the sony watch as, from what I can tell, it is entirely dependent on a phone. I plan on getting one of the next Gen Phablets in the coming months and carrying one of those on a run is a non option. Anyone have any advice or should I just get another Moto Actv?

For a few days I was, but utility kicked in and I am passing on the smart watches. Don't need another thing to plug in at night....However, they lool fun! Enjoy fellas:beer:

Right now that is probably the Omate TrueSmart; 2g/3g sim card, BT, WiFi, SD Card Slot running Android 4.2.2. Having the Omate TrueSmart and Google Glass would be pretty cool.

Seriosuly? Not one mention of Omate TrueSmart

This is the one that has my interest for the moment. I've no need for a phone in a watch but the hardware is more to my liking. If the TrueSmart is able to sync with an Android phone in the way the Galaxy Gear, pending Google smartwatch, and Sony Smartwatch 2 do then I might be inclined to break from my current course (wait for the gen2 smartwatches) and order one.

Should I decide to wear a smartwatch it'll need to be able to stay water tight at 3 meters submerged.

Flexible display concepts (wrapped around the wearers wrist) are most intriguing!

Someone needs to sort out the retina projector for the smart watch without melting eyeballs. Only then can the smart watch move forward without being an embarrassment to smart tech.

I don't already own a watch, so my perspective might be a little bit different. The entire concept of a smart watch is pretty exciting for all the reasons the various new entrants like Kreyos tout, but I am really into it for the following reasons:

1. I'm worried about using my smart phone in crowded areas where it could be stolen right out of my hands while I'm not paying attention. Seems much more difficult to take a watch that's strapped to my wrist.
2. I've dropped my phone in the toilet while checking it. My bad, but there will be no more of that if I have a smart watch.
3. It's much more discreet to take a call on my wrist while driving than it is to hold the phone to my ear. I don't drive with earbuds in and I certainly don't wear those cyborg bluetooth ear pieces.
4. Recall, I don't have a watch, so I try to use the stop watch function on my smart phone for timing myself in exercises. This is lame. I dropped my phone in the gravel yesterday.
5. I have missed many calls when I forget to turn on the ringer - or even with the ringer on. Having vibration on my wrist means I won't be running around trying to find my phone, or missing calls.

On the topic of style, I'm not going to wear my smart watch to the opera or a black tie dinner. I wouldn't worry about it clashing with my wardrobe. I'd wear it in the car, at sporting events, while exercising, or around town.

The Omate looks cool, but I'm worried about having another separate phone contract. Seems like I need something that synchs with and extends my existing mobile platform
