I like the general aesthetic, but it's a little too solidly thick for my tastes.

Better than the other smart watches except in battery life and CPU.

Hey folks, I'm looking for a wearable (now that the Apple watch has been unveiled).

It has to have the following characteristics:

1. It must be completely waterproof (because I swim).
2. It must monitor my heart rate (constantly over the course of the day)
3. It must be a stand alone device (so I don't have to carry a phone around when I run, swim and cycle)
4. It must be able to upload my heart rate readings to another device so I can plot them on a graph over time.

Does a device like this exist?

I agree that this might be the wrong thread, but here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Strapless-Continuous-Heart-Monitor/dp/B00BJ6HLDI

And review: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/02/monitor-bluetooth-smartant.html

I think those optical heart rate sensors are starting to get into all sorts of watches now (including general smartwatches), so a dedicated heart rate unit may not be the most affordable choice.

A wrist pedometer is pretty fundamentally inaccurate. But as long as it is somewhat consistent relative to reality, it's useful for its purpose.

I wonder if the fact that even Microsoft has gotten GPS into their fitness band, will Apple include GPS in rev 1 of Apple Watch or are they too far along. Minus Cortana, it looks like it integrates well with iOS and Android, though the jury is still out with the Health program and Google fit.

It seems like a great feature to add in v2.

I thought Service Merchandise had stock on hand, it was just all in the warehouse.
