> I think the key difference is that Sony and Android both approached the watch as a smaller phone. You can play angry birds on it, and you can play music, and shop online and do everything that a phone can. In that sense they haven't built a new device, they built a miniature phone with a wristband.

The original Sony Smartwatch and Smartwatch 2 can't do any of that. They are simple notification devices with limited controls similar to Bluetooth stereos.

> predecessor "smart"phones like the razr and blackberry

In what universe was the original Moto Razr a smartphone? It was a feature phone at best, a fashion accessory version of a standard Moto flip phone.
