Dick Tracy

edit

Dick Tracy's 2-way wrist radio eventually became a 2-way wrist television. It was replaced with a 2-way wrist computer. There were different models of the wrist computer. At least one had something similar to a tiny CD reader. Another could do simple chemical analysis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.131.227.51 (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

iPod Nano + wristband

edit

Should this mention the previous generation iPod Nano touch that was square and for which people made wristbands, and turned into a smartwatch? -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 03:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't believe so; the iPod Nano was not intended to be a smartwatch. The potential for smartwatch-like capabilities was realised by a third party. Bailmoney27 talk 17:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

List cleanup

edit

The list of smartwatches in production is getting a bit messy. Anyone have any suggestions on how to clean it up? I'd considered converting it to a table with more information such as release date, manufacturer, etc., though with how lengthy the list is getting, it may be beneficial to move said table to a separate page. Comments? Bailmoney27 talk 17:05, 26 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

→ I agree. A timetable with release and discontinuation date would be great. The Nike+ Fuel Band (in the table incorrectly as "NikeFuel") is no longer produced, as well as the Nike+ Sportwatch GPS (not listed in the table). --129.15.64.220 (talk) 22:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think we can safely remove the Moto 360 from being in development, no? It was released September 5, and is currently available for retail purchase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.62.238.110 (talk) 22:27, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think the OS & API information is really valuable though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grégoire Byrka (talkcontribs) 12:01, 19 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sony SmartWatch 2 with or without GPS?

edit

In the section Smartwatch Hardware comparison Sony's SmartWacht 2 is not marked to have GPS but in the section Smart watch comparison it does. So does it have GPS or not? This discrepancy should be corrected, but I don't know the specifications of the SmartWatch. --85.177.89.123 (talk) 23:40, 26 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Omate TrueSmart

edit

Shouldn't the Omate TrueSmart be mentioned? It was the first stand alone smartwatch with built in phone and all the smartphone stuff like Android (running apps natively), gps, bluetooth, microsd card reader, camera. It was a kickstarter campaign and then briefly available on Omate's website. In the end it failed to live up to the expectations in terms of software and customer service. But it's a first in several regards nonetheless.PizzaMan (♨♨) 12:04, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Smart band is currently a redirect to activity tracker but is looking as if it's a new type of tech that can't be considered a smart watch or a mere activity tracker. The Montblanc e-Strap, Kairos T-band, and Modillian smart strap appear to be the first and given watch owners' desire to have smart functionality without giving up their existing watches, I suspect there will be more. This could qualify as a section in the article and in time a separate article.

Feature comparison table

edit

If you arrange the table by resolution, it puts the apple watch first because of the way it is laid out, the samsung is actually higher res. Someone with better skills than me could perhaps fix this. 82.43.99.224 (talk) 13:01, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

List of Android Wear smartwatches

Adding other well known Operating Systems

edit

The Operating Systems section could be completed with well known OSes (allowing third party apps) used on current smartwatches : Garmin Connect IQ, Fitbit OS, stock Android (Amazfit and low-end watches), which are much more used than Asteroid/Sailfish/Ubuntu already listed. Pebble OS could be also added for history and as a bit related to Fitbit OS.

I did propose a contribution to this section on may-22, but rejected due to my bad english ErwanD75 (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

flexible screens

edit

Nubia alpha is ( possibly) the first smartwatch with flexible screen. it is the world's first wearable phone with a flexible display according to [3] but not all come with phone call function so it remains in the domain of the smartwatch. it’s also one of the first devices to have a flexible screen, which wraps around the wrist according to [4]

Seiko UC-2000 (docking stations UC-2200 and UC-2100) - some versions could be directly connected to various PCs (including Apple II, Commodore 64, and IBM PC) through a RS232 interface cable, thus removing the need of a docking station.[9]
