    And I would rather have Dick Tracy's clunky analog one.

    Now, if some company that wasn't Apple came out with a Star Wars-inspired analog-looking one that ran, naturally, on Android? That I might be into. I was promised this shit during my childhood and since jetpacks and flying cars aren't commercially viable yet and rich men can't even get into space with all their money, I'm ready to collect on what I can get.
     
    I hated my apple watch... to me watches and touch screens don't go together. It was constantly turning on and picking apps when I would cross my arms or push up my sleeves. The battery didn't even last a full day.... piece of garbage.

    I love my Garmin though. Plenty of smart features and apps.. and the battery last weeks.

    The Apple Watch is almost a status symbol these days. It seems that they all ask each other, "How many step you have today". I guess if that's you cup of tea, then so be it. I find that my phone can do anything the watch can do and I don't have to deal with the strange sun tan.
