Gizmag has published a 2015 smartwatch comparison guide for those planning to acquire another NSA-tracking collar mobile device:
Before we jump in, these are the six watches we chose as the best available right now, which you'll see lined up (in two rows) throughout this comparison:
- Motorola Moto 360
- Apple Watch
- LG Watch Urbane
- Samsung Gear S
- Pebble Time
- Asus ZenWatch
During my recent visit to an Apple Store in Long Island, a grand total of 1 person was looking at the long row of Apple Watches while the iPhone table was mobbed.

the watch is feeding more data (pulse, temperature, sound, whatever else) to the phone. its yet another data source.
I am not alone in thinking that more data sources == more ways to fuck you over; now or later.
does not matter if its an ip source of leaked data; it still sends data that DOES get funnelled up to the spooks.
why anyone wants to volunteer to do that, its way beyond me. some people just don't think things thru, I guess, and they are quite the trusting soul. I feel sorry for such people, as they tend to become victims.

We don't disagree in spirit, just in understanding of this particular topic.
