Exactly. If this thing appeals to somebody for working out, they probably don't do real workouts.

MotoACTV was on the right track and other than the weak "sweat resistance" was a great first attempt. I was waiting for the second version but Googlerola decided to leave the sports watch market, which is a shame. Garmin also managed to muck up much of their linueup by insisting on touch interfaces for basic functions, which doesn't work so well when you're wet or sweaty. I swear, most companies these days seem to be most interested in building gimmicks for idiots rather than functional products.
