Smartwatches?[views:5542][posts:13]_____________________________________ [Sep 7,2014 9:00am - the_reverend ""] Does anyone own one of these things? I've often said that I would "never get one of those", but really it is that I have never seen one that I would want to use. I've been considering getting something lately cause of running mostly. I would love a watch that was small, light weight, and I could get some stats off it. I know that it wouldn't replace my phone for things, but I currently run 5+ miles with a huge ass phone on my arm. It can't look at it while running so I never have any idea how far I've gone until I get done or stop. If I could make my own watch, I would run mapmyrun app, spotify, and then I would just get BT headphones for music. It would also need a heart rate monitor. Only problem with all this is that this: http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/27/intel-tiny-3g-modem/ If apple comes out with a phone using that... then they might have a weiner. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2014 9:17am - the_reverend ""] I ran 11 miles yesterday thinking about this... I wonder if I would need a new cell plan. The apple watch will probably not be killer until v3. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 8,2014 12:22pm - luddite ""] the fitbit seemed fairly primitive, but the sleep tracking was cool/weird. pretty soon with VR headsets, smart wearables, and sex bots, we can just stay inside. all we need the back to the future pizza hut oven & beer pills. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2014 1:11pm - the_reverend ""] I was thinking about the VR thing and thinking that it's going to be much cheaper to make us see things in the real world that are just over-layed on our eyes that actually putting LED screens everywhere. |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 9,2014 11:53am - the_reverend ""] you use a garmin don't you? what if it were on your wrist? |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 9,2014 12:30pm - largefreakatzero ""] I have a Garmin GPS, the 62st I think it is. [img] I use it on my boat and for ice fishing. I really wouldn't need it on my wrist since I don't run. |
