if one really needs 4GB of memory in a freaking watch, then we're doing something wrong.

Is it really a good idea to call a watch Vapor, after all what operating system is it going to run VaporWare?

Also a company making wearables really shouldn’t be named Misfit.

Looks neat but you cannot beat the Garmin line. I have the Fenix 5x and it's incredible. Returned my Apple watch 3 for it. Also if you don't want to spend a lot of money the Vivoactive 3 is basically a Fenix at half price. Incredible devices that put fitness first and nerdy smartwatch second. If your priority is sending emojis from your watch, it's not for you.

The data that Garmin provides and the ability to access it via the web is indispensable if you are remotely interested in fitness.

I trashed Garmin for the longest time because LOL the screens are terrible, etc. Then I realized the purpose. It's pretty amazing.

look at the size of that thing...
Cut the chatter Red 2! :cool: Assuming the Star Wars quote.

The watch itself looks really nice, curious how well it will hold up over time. Might have to pick one up for testing.
