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.

I am daily wearing a Vostok Amphibia watch. It costs like $55 plus shipping. This watch is an automatic mechanical watch, not needing any battery and as long as you wear it daily you do not need to wind it up either.
I have been wearing this watch both while diving (it is watertight to 200m), driving tractor, working at office with computers, biking and whatever I do. If I get a scratch in the crystal, I just take some toothpaste and a napkin and polish it away in a few minutes and if I would in some strange way actually destroy the watch, it is not expensive to get another one.
A watch will always get banged against door-posts, car doors, furnitures and whenever you have to insert your hand into narrow places you risk scratching it. A good watch should be cheap to replace whenever you need or you will fear to actually wear it.
