> Are there non Apple competitors in the field? I'm not in the market for a "smart" watch -- a cheap digital watch runs for a few years on a single battery, does most of what I want, and is indestructible -- but I would look to the companies making GPSes and heart rate monitors. Polar, Garmin, Suunto, and friends have been making durable and power-constrained devices for years. I think they will come at it from the right direction: rather than shoving in features and letting battery life catch up, they will carefully add features as allowed by battery life. I'm a bit surprised Google hasn't bought one yet.
