I already have my phone in my pocket and I expect it to do all the things mentioned (via interacting directly). I also have too many devices that beep/vibrate at me so another one that does alerts seems unnecessary (one in my pocket and another on my wrist?).

If it was voice controlled however, that would be cool. The range of interaction would be far greater.

note: I gave up wearing wristwatches some time ago, if I did still wear them, this would be pretty interesting.

I bought one of these during the sale they had last year. I'm running CyanogenMod (Android) and everything works as described.

It's most useful when looking at one's phone would be considered rude, but looking at one's watch would not.

I haven't built any faces for mine (yet), but having the watch definitely makes me want to learn more Python/C.

"One of the more fun gadgets I've been playing with lately is the inPulse smartwatch. It can silently buzz when you get a new email and show a preview of your email. It's has an API that works with many Android and Blackberry phones, so you can program your own custom apps to do things like move forward in a PowerPoint presentation or show stock quotes. It's pretty geeky, but in a very space-age way. I can see a lot of people wearing watches like this in a few years." With a link to: http://www.getinpulse.com/

edit: already posted. Odd that a public G+ post is not visible from a mobile device without logging into Google.
