But I already have one : http://www.motorola.com/us/MOTOACTV-16GB-Golf-Edition/121481...

is technically not a watch ( it does display the hour though) , but I saw its power and I use the features daily. And looks totally geeky on my hand.

Technically not just a watch might be more accurate since they describe one of its functions as a "GPS sports watch" and sell watch straps for it (as well as bike mounts, armbands, clothing-clips).

i'm in the same camp. exercise + music is the best use case i know for a smart watch.

if you could merge the garmin forerunner 610/620 (or equivalent running program), and a bluetooth music player, that would be nirvana for me.

i like the running apps for iphone but i hate wearing it during a run or workout. just extra weight i don't need.

Yes, the nice thing about the MOTOACTV is that it runs independently, you can sync it when you are at home, or near your Android phone. The music player is surprisingly good and the headset is OK too.

Another nice one: if you decide to take the phone with you, it functions as a wireless headset!

And the best of all: is fully hackable!! Some reference : http://blog.martinh.net/2013/05/hacking-google-smartwatch.ht...

We actually use an Android app on a rooted ACTV, strapped to a hexacopter to map out Wifi hotspots. It works in limited tests, but for obvious reasons we would never take it out into the real world.

It's a really good, cheap, embedded platform. I wouldn't be surprised (despite the so called firewall) that Motorola engineers are working with the WIMM Labs folks on the Nexus Watch.
