I like the idea of keeping track of my hikes using GPS to be able to remember exactly where I've been, but I don't trust the kind of data gathered by a smart watch with any company out there, and I don't want to drain my phone by keeping the GPS on constantly. If this has good battery life it sounds interesting to me.
I'm generally sceptical of introducing another screen into my life though. Something about smart watches just seems inherently intrusive even if the software itself isn't spyware.
