Smart watches have no reason to exist. Samsung made them because they figured apple would and they wanted to beat apple to the market. Apple made one because wall st. is convinced apple is doomed if they don't release something revolutionary every decade. It's mutually assured stupidity.

The truth is the technology simply is not ready for a truly useful smart watch that isn't an absurd contraption or an eyesore. We're not able to cramp that much electronics into that small a space and more importantly Moore's law does not apply to batteries.

The moto 360 looks like a normal watch. It just doesn't do that much.
