You should just be able to hook a little cord up to some freeweights and do a few reps to spin a flywheel.

What is the price point OP? If it's free and Martha Stewart gives me a handy then sure why not.

If you're looking for me, you better check under the sea

I've got a Casio F-91W, probably a perfectly designed watch. The battery lasts for years, doesn't break, and it has every function you could need from a watch. It also costs £5.

So no

I mean seriously who thought they would be a good idea? The ubiquitousness of smartphones have made regular old dumb watches pointless. Watches don't become a convenience again just because they can run the same pedometer program as the phone they already have in their pocket.

I think smart watches are like E-Cigs. They're made exclusively to appeal to dorks who want to spend the day fantasizing that they're a bounty hunter from the future.

Okay I get the compass and thermometer and the magnifying glass but what possible purpose could that weird ice-cream scoop looking thing on the lower left possibly serve.

Edit- Some kind of alarm?

They would still let you buy a watch even you have sucked a dick, and you could continue sucking dicks after you had the watch.

And the really weird part is that any smartwatch that does let you talk through it gets negative reviews because who wants to talk into their watch like a dork?! I dunno, maybe everyone who ever watched television and likes cool gadgets? It's weird that this ultra-niche nerdy product has decided that this specific feature is too nerdy for them. But a heart rate monitor? Now that's important. Talking to people is for dweebs, but it's imperative I know exactly what my heart rate is at any given moment.

If you're buying a smartwatch, let me tell you what your heart rate is: too much.

I'd definitely get one if it covered you whole forearm like Boba Fett. These tiny rear end watches with small screens and batteries are just junk!
