Yet another smart watch thread

So... the fibit thread sent me down this rabbit hole... wife has fitbit Alta and loves it, tracks her steps during the day and sleep at night... my med insurance gave me a free fibit but it is the little thing that clips to your belt. Fun little gadget but I forget to clip it on and I don't sleep with a belt so not getting a lot of useful data.

I will cut to the chase,
Samsung S3
Heart rate, fitness tracker, all that cool stuff.
I'm a watch geek so I love the multiple watch faces (to match my multiple personalities ) but seriously you have analog/digital plus easy to read sports face and classic old school face all in one watch.
Plus links to you phone to check & answer texts etc.
GADGET BOY WANT!
But wait... CNET reviews "GPS is unreliable" and apparently it uses GPS for the fitness function.
But wait, there is more! CNET says "there is a new batch of smart phones coming out so you may want to wait."
This is very much an unnecessary purchase so sure... so as a matter of fact I can wait.

I know some of you are out on the edge of tech so anyone know what the next gen of smart watches will bring?

As an aside anyone have a S3 and how do you like it?

As a further aside years ago I sold my soul to Google so there is no turning back for me therefore don't try to sell me a iWatch... nothing wrong with them but not switching horses at this late date.

TIA
