> It falls short on bluetooth music player.

That's the #2 function (next to accurate time/timing) I want from my smart watch: bluetooth music without the need for my phone. Dealbreaker without it.

A decent heartrate monitor that works with at least some accuracy when sweating would be amazing and I would pay a decent amount for a watch that also included that, but it isn't a dealbreaker like the bluetooth music without the phone.

I believe the Sony is close to your requirements but not perfect. Wear can support local storage. The Sony is the only Wear on the market that has standalone GPS. The bad news is that heart rate monitoring is not a feature. I can't believe that function was omitted.
