That's a sexy watch, not sure how i didn't see it before. Thanks for the link.

Very sexy. Though the band ruins it for me, as I wear my fitness tracker while doing actual fitness. The rubberized Garmin Vivofit can handle the beatings.

  They do a cheaper version called Activite Pop which ships with a silicone band.

Wow, that's a smart watch I could actually use. 8 month battery life, doesn't look awful, not priced terribly (for the version with silicone band). The only thing holding me back is that it seems to require a phone app. Right now my phones are Windows and Blackberry; it'd be nice if I could just use a web app in the browsers on those.

  Yeah, I agree. It's a possibility that their android app might not require play services, though, and will work on your Blackberry (and my CyanogenMod).

This reminds me of the movie Her. This is the direction I want wearable tech to go.

That looks amazing. Why haven't I seen this until now?

Wow, that's a beautiful watch first and foremost, and a "smart" accessory second. It reminds me of the Bauhaus style of Nomos and later on Stowa, both held in extremely high regard by the watch community. $450 is high for a smartwatch, but low for a watch in general. Nomos watches cost thousands. Granted, that's in large part to their in-house mechanical movements. But $450 is certainly not unreasonable for a high quality quartz watch -- see Seiko and Citizen. And this has the aesthetics to compete with the best of them in my humble opinion. I have a Moto 360 and I stopped wearing it a bit over a month in. The extra features it has aren't very useful to be completely honest, and it's a bit bulky, having to charge it daily was really a drain, and it just felt flat-out fragile. I was afraid to even wash my hands while wearing it. Lack of Android support is unfortunately a deal breaker for me right now, as I don't have an iPhone.
