@ the predictable ####show. Back to questions.
Does this thing have GPS in it? I assume that if you wanted to listen to music it'd be via bluetooth?
No, it uses the GPS from the phone, which makes it quite inconvenient if you need a watch and phone to track your runs. However, no comparable smartwatch has GPS and a good battery life, so for now, it's a tradeoff.
What do you mean by "smartwatch" here? Seems like a very narrowed group of competitors to make the statement regarding GPS and battery life.
I don't have any specific qualifications, but certainly one that is in color, has a touch screen, has the ability to load different apps by third party vendors, and does a variety of different things rather than just being a primary "fitness" watch, or something else more specialized. Just took a wild stab here, as I'm not sure there's a clear definition I've seen.
However, many of the wearables I've seen that have been referred to as "smartwatches", will be gone in a year or two, replaced by things that are much more like the apple watches and the droid watches we're seeing coming out now. Kinda like the nokia phones, and the iriver mp3 players after the iphone and ipod. Other devices conformed to the industry leaders, and the ones that lagged behind or were more specialized, pretty quickly get ingested by the leaders as feature upgrades.
Again, just guessing here.
