Wearables are now a two-horse race and Google lost very badly

Re: Still no genuine use-case

I disagree.

My good old Pebble just sits there telling me the time when I'm interested in any weather or in the water, with a watch face I can change to support my mood or needs.

It buzzes and shows me what's in the message that just arrived so I don't have to dig into a bag or pocket or take gloves off.

It lets me choose next tracks, pause music without having to fire up the phone or guess at the headphone buttons.

It shows me speed, time, distance etc when I'm using runkeeper

It tells me who's phoning me when I'm in a different room to the phone and it rings so I know whether I want to leg it to pick it up or not.

It adds simple convenience, which is what I want.

It's also much much cheaper than some of the old fashioned analogue watches I used to wear.

I've been trying to find the replacement for when it eventually dies, no-one has got close.
