Haven't they figured out yet that telling the time is the thing that smart watches do the worst.

instead, i want a band. I'm still waiting for an Android Wear band. i want something a bit like the Microsoft band 2 [1], but slimmer and a smaller screen. something as a notification device and to take voice notes. but i don't need it to replace my watch because it's not "on" when i look at it.

For telling the time, I'll either wear a "proper" watch (as well) or none at all.

[1] I'm on my 3rd ms band. they randomly die (stop charging). ms are good about it and replace it quickly... but soon my warranty will be up and it's all over.

Pebble doesn't have that problem.

can i do voice recognition on a pebble?

[wvenable]

Yes, and not just on Android. Pebble has a microphone and voice-recognition. One of the more popular apps is effectively wrist-based Siri.

Yes, if you have an Android phone.
