I was wanting a smartwatch for a while. While in Vegas with the wife, I had a few too many 'liquid courages' and decided to take the plunge while on the strip. I am in IT and I REALLY should have known better, as smartwatches are simply wrist computers that have a limited shelf life. I picked up a Tag Heuer Connected. It is sharp, super light and 'fun.' I can change the faces, but it was a dump piece of wrist candy for the price....didn't even have the ability to take my pulse on jogs. Pretty much instant regret.

I did get my wife the Samsung Active 2 watch for her birthday last year. She loves / hates it. It lets her see who is at the front door, lets her track her step, track her walks / jogs......but also reminder her when she has been sedentary. We do sales and are tied to our desks so always moving isn't always a choice.

That said, stay away from stupid priced name whore watches. The Actives are nice, may get one for myself.
