Re: Smart Watch needs a reboot.

For me, the killer things that keep me using my Pebble are:

Seeing the notifications from apps that I choose to tell my watch stuff without getting the phone out of my rucksack

Automatically switching to runkeeper mode giving me pace and distance whenever I start recording a cycle ride or run.

Being relatively cheap and everything proof.

I don't see the watch working for the current generation. Looking at the younger generation, they seem to have the phone permanently in front of their face, so there is no information their watch can tell them that the phone doesn't. My generation (approaching 50) tend to get the phone out occasionally to check something.
