I presume the issue is the teeny-tiny (320mAh) lithium battery....
Fuck Amazon, I have ordered it (cheaper) from an ebay seller in Chermany.....
[serious] so what do you want a smart watch to do for you? I don't want a watch I can talk to or that then tells me the weather or lets me google search - and that's how they advertise it. But one that tells me when I have an important email or appointment due could be very useful.
[less serious] now we have a "fuck Amazon" policy is the link on the page going to change to an eBay link?
Well....
To be honest, I've always had a 'thing' about watches and have quite a collection....
...this one allows me to have a different watch (face) every day if I want.... Some of them are beautiful.... Plus, I hope that I can make a face (you can create your own) that allows me to see the time and date without squinting as I have to with my Seiko Kinetic....
So, it looks to be a very attractive and flexible watch for me first and foremost...
In addition, I've quite got into 'OK Google' thing and find it quite useful - see also, setting reminders and setting the alarm, etc.
And lastly, as you say you can be informed of important e-mails - you can set filters so that you don't get informed every time somebody posts a picture of their breakfast on Faceache or anything like that...
...it clearly is Version 1.0 of the software (and phone) and I don't doubt that more powerful models will be available in time but I am excited about having this one now....
