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.

    Do you wear watches prior to a smart watch? I'm curious. I'm an avid WIS and techie, I have lots of cool devices, yet I can't see me going to a smart watch replacing my quartz or automatic watch collection. Not only do they not look anyway as good as my watches, the concept of having to constantly worry about power capacity or plan my watch wearing time so that the charging coincides with my downtime feels very constricting. That and not having WR.

    I'm sure they'll get there someday, but not today.

    I actually have a bunch of nice-ish watches. Because I like my tech watches so much I've taken to wearing my mechanical watches on my left wrist and my tech watch on my right. I probably look like a dork, but I'm okay with that. Watches are basically jewellery for men at this point, but I really feel lost without my Moto360 (formerly my Pebble). The funny part is that I've seen a couple of other people do the same thing.

    I should also add that my phone always runs out of power before my watch. I have no problem getting through a long day of fairly heavy use with my Moto360. My phone, not so much.
