So, basically it's a watch and a pedometer? Can anyone please come up with something more interesting than counting the number of steps I take during the day?

- TillE 12y agoApple's promised hearbeat sensor is a good step towards making a more advanced fitness/health device, at least. Even though I'd rather have that as a thin Fitbit-style band rather than a chunky touchscreen watch.
- marincounty 12y agoYea, I think the Fitbit style is the design they should shoot for. They could use the wrist band to hide precious IC space, along with the antenna for the GPS.
- personZ 12y agoNote that a number of available smartwatches already have heartbeat sensors (Gear 2, Moto 360, LG G Watch R, etc). You didn't exclude this possibility, but just wanted to clarify for any who wondered.
- dozy 12y agoIt should be noted that the Samsung Gear Live (one of the first two Android Wear devices from last June), as well as the Moto 360 both have a heart sensor, powered by an LED on the back of the device, just as Apple's will.
