Yes, this is beautiful and impressive and we're all going to buy one. It still looks to have tons of compromises that are silly. In what world does a circular graph show progress to 100 like this:
Ross Rojek
@willimholte Yeah, that bugged me too. 270 degrees /= 100%. Best looking fitness tracker out there, and gives me hope for more. I sorta remember a smart watch recently that had very subtle markers for phone, text and emails when synced to your phone, but wasn't a fitness tracker. I'm sure we'll see a multitude soon.

@SacBookReviewer Agreed all around. The graph thing is not a big deal, especially if it's just art for the site.

Beautiful approach to melding technology with classic style, but that's got to be the most ridiculous voice-over dialogue I've ever heard in a video.
Andrew Pyott
@rynbtmn no doubt about it! Had the same thought :)
Ross Rojek
Yes, not every tech thing has to look like a tech thing. Ah, though in reading the fine print, you have to change the leather band for a plastic one during sports. Wondered how it was going to hold up in water. Having to swap the band one or more times a day, really not the best solution, even if it's quick release.

Reminds me a lot of this watch by Tsovet http://www.tsovet.com/shop/cn110... @SacBookReviewer good spot, that's kind of a buzzkill but not a total dealbreaker. Finally a thing I can wear on my wrist that looks good and tracks steps!
Ross Rojek
@ZackShapiro Me too most likely. Just realizing it was something else to carry and remember was a speedbump along my "hey that's so cool" moment. But started looking at the fine print when they were bragging about the calf's leather strap and I'm thinking about swimming with it.

Beautiful, wondering if I should switch my Shine with this.
Zack Shapiro
@benln Do you like the Shine?
Jonno Riekwel
Oh yeah, so getting this :D

Wearable tech that doesn't scream wearable tech. Now this, this is sexy.
Andrew Pyott
Gorgeus! Completely agree with @mjchamplin, if this smartwatch thing is going to take off, it definitely needs to not look like 'wearable tech'. I can't do Glass, but an iWatch like this? I can dig!
Jason Dainter
Beautiful. Want.
Nikita Korotaev
Holy Moly!!! It tracks everything: walk, swim, sleep, and it has a vibration alarm(I missed this from the very first failed Jawbone UP). No recharging for a year. Looks amazing. Can this get any better?

This thing is beautiful

OK so *this* is a fitness tracker I could actually wear! All the others on the market right now remind me of the kids who wore the calculator watches in the 90's (enjoy a moment of self-reflection if this was you!) Breaking style/fashion for the sake of the gadget These guys have clearly understood that if you want to stick something on a mans wrist, it should at least look as good as the £500 watch he just removed to make room for it.

This is the first swart watch that actually looks good. Hoping Apple's looks this good too.
Hans E Hyttinen
If this beautiful thing is 40 mm or smaller, I am buying it immediately!
Guy Gal
This is when tech becomes magic... blend into the background
DAVE MORIN
This is so great. Finally someone actually takes a beautiful watch and makes it smart.
Bob Williams
This is beautiful. Please let our future look more like this and less like the tech duncery we're parading around in now.
Brenden Mulligan
I love this product. Probably too expensive for me (since I dont wear a watch normally) but I love the idea of tech inside something that doesn't look like tech. I bet this has a pretty interesting target market.

It's a beautiful watch and it's nice to see wearables actually take fashion into account. I'm not fully sold on the sleep part though... I don't wear a watch to sleep and I don't know if many people do.
