He means that it may be a real device prototype, but the video is added in post.

It's no doubt a real watch he's wearing, but I'm pretty sure the screen is fake. No screen that emits photons would appear like that when recorded by a camcorder. The brightness and crispness is visibly wrong. I'm pretty sure it's CG.

  The screen is definitely an overlay. There's even a tiny tracking glitch at 1:09-1:10.

  >I'm pretty sure the screen is fake It says that the screen is simulated at 0:23.

"Screen Images Simulated" fine print @ 0:25 (under the scrubber) I've never seen Android that smooth and I'm an Android UI expert. That's all After Effects.

  As an Android UI expert, can you provide mockups to redesign the Android Wear UI?

    No thnx, but I will do a test build soon to see what the emulator's actual rez is...

The LG watch looks more like an iPhone strapped to your wrist than a watch. http://i.imgur.com/yP1Qpa9.png http://i.imgur.com/yP1Qpa9.png I was kind of excited after viewing the Motorola page, but after the videos, I'm disappointed. I don't want to speak to my watch, and I don't care about having yet another app for weather, calendar, etc. The videos just reminded me that I don't care about any of this information, or having it available on my wrist. I'll stick to a traditional watch, I think they're more stylish, and the time is really the only piece of information I need immediate access to on a constant basis. Everything else can be in pocket.

    Contemporary TV show protagonists have had bluetooth earpieces for years now and (nearly) no-one wants to look like that either.

    The only person I recall talking to their watch (and I'm probably showing my age here) is David Hasselhoff as The Knight Rider[1] [1] http://666kb.com/i/cmtolc7lx36yntfbq.jpg http://666kb.com/i/cmtolc7lx36yntfbq.jpg
