There are a few smart watches in existence. Samsung, Sony and Pebble to name a few. My main view is all of these devices are too bulky or non stylish.
Apple has just patented a revision of the Bluetooth LE protocol. (Low Energy). What Apple has designed is a protocol whereby the connection is intermittent thereby reducing battery size and requirements and in turn creating a thin watch. In terms of iWatch functionality, Pebble has led the way as to what is possible with its new v2.0 SDK. All iOS 7 notifications appear on the Pebble.
My only concern with any watch no matter how slick or smart is who actually wears a watch nowadays? Do you? I don’t ?
Not a watch, we are talking about wearables as first predicted in 2000 by Symbian.
