POLL: SmartBAND or SmartWATCH: Did Microsoft Make the Right Design and Marketing Choice?

[Cruncher04]

Biggest issue with Smartwatches is, that i already have a nice watch. Sapphire glass, solar driven, radio controlled and 20bar water resistent (i can dive with it) - is supposed to work without maintenance for 10 years. On top of it, it looks nice.
A Smartwatch i would have to wear on the right hand then in addition to my regular watch. Since i consider wearing 2 watches looking stupid, a band or a bracelet is just perfect.

Yeah, that too, until a smart looks like an actual watch and lasts as long as an actual watch I'll get one, but for now, I like my Citizen (which is similar to l yours only no radio thingie and only 10bar, though given my ability to swim I'd I was any lower than about 1 meter underwater then I'm probably drowning).

Coincidentally mine is a CITIZEN too

I've zero interest in a Smart watch as other OEMs are selling. I do prefer the functionality of a M band.

Am I the only one that chuckles when I hear people say that a smartwatch is not useful or doesn't provide enough functionality for them but defend a $200+ traditional watch that literally only tells time! You know, like the most simple function that every single other device in the world actually does and does better!
