Smartwatch software support lags well behind smartphone pledges, even from Google and Samsung, but this really shouldn’t be the case.

    Start demanding or refusing to purchase. You don’t need these things, we need to break this flawed cycle.

      Completely agree. My main watches are a Casio G-shock, 10 year battery, 200m waterproof (Mine dived with me to 32 m two days ago), A Cressi Diver’s dual time (I have had to replace the battery after 4 years), and the iconic Seiko sknx007 Diver’s automatic.

      My watch is a tough, good looking, and well engineered device to give me the time, and in my case a rotating bezel to time the dive.

      I hate the idea of a prissy thing you can’t take for a swim in the pool, with a battery life measured in days, and that mostly replicates functions in the phone already in my pocket.

      No thanks.
