I'm not sure if it's a standalone or companion app though. I like the Tizen platform best because of its standalone ability I either platform. Once AW adds in that ability on a bigger scale I'll be looking I that direction if they make one with a screen my old eyes can see without zooming. Just like electronic stylus pens are my biggest influence on buying a phone, mammoth screen will get my next dollars as well or I'll hang on to my dinosaur until it petrifies. I've got a large wrist and arm so mammoth works fine for looks on me fortunately.
Been an extremely happy, devoted Band user since last November. Sadly walked into a Microsoft store yesterday and replaced my first (which was disintegrating) with a brand new second one (they did it no questions asked). Why sadly??? Now I can't decide whether to open up the replacement, or sell it and use the cash to buy Band 2. Tough decision. And my wrist feels so naked while I sit here wallowing in my indecision. And I keep getting ghost notifications on my empty wrist. Only @cereal killer could possibly understand what I'm talking about!
I think anyone with any sort of smartwatch can relate to ghost notifications and many of us can relate to feeling off balance and nekid when it's not on the wrist. Using them for fitness tracking is what started me as well.
I hope nobody gets upset we're a bit off topic but as you wrote before, the current watches don't have the horse power to do much more than collect data, use sensors, sync data to the workhorse. That's what excited me about the Neptune watch. It's an Android (lollipop) watch with all the workhorse ability of a phone and uses a dummy screen for what we use watches for now and/or a touch keyboard and butler for the watch itself. The smartwatch/smartphone concept in reverse. I'm sure battery life isn't measured in days but this is all still cutting edge stuff that could really change things as dramatically as tablets have of they'll embrace the technological possibilities moving forward.
