#2looks like a nice-looking version of the Yet-Another-Watch-Thing connected to an app. i am always confused by the utility of said app... it looks like i'm supposed to be looking at my phone while i'm doing my workout to get the tips it's suggesting, but i don't want to do that.

#3Reminds me a lot of the Misfit Shine http://www.misfitwearables.com/ whithout the shiny light thingies.
There seem to be hundreds of these popping up recently. 2014 is shaping up to be the year of wearables, and it is going to get more insane with the Google Watch, and a potential Apple wearable (watch? headphones with heart rate monitoring?) later in the year.

#4They didn't show the part where you have to re-set your activity on the phone app, every time single time you change it. That will get tedious and a not so determined user might forget.

Well, the speech feedback would help with that. No idea how any of this is supposed to help you in a pool though.

#7There is a key advantage to what this is doing over current activity trackers I am aware of - and that is that it gives real time feedback and is moving towards performance metrics that matter rather than merely tracking how much the sensor is moving.
(I was involved in a startup doing something similar in the past, we never got to market - www.runnr.me - Good luck!)

This is one of the most absurd site designs I've seen in a while. I'm waiting many seconds at a time for the site to load images of attractive looking people doing glamorous things, while what I really want is to understand the utility value of their product. Now I'm annoyed and they come across as pretentious. Too bad. While this kind of gross presentation of product values happens once in a while, what made misfit really stand out is the fact someone really made a significant effort on that site. It's as beautiful as much as it's silly.
TL;DR when looking for a fitness tracker, don't bullshit me with pictures of people in suits

#9This actually looks pretty cool and could really help a lot of people. I've been running a few years now, and a couple of years ago I started to get serious knee pains. A physio basically explained to me that my legs move in totally the wrong way, and I had no way of knowing this until he showed me what was going on, gave me some advice and helped me fix these bad habits. It really, really helped - for that kind of advice to be given in real-time during a run would be absolutely fantastic. Running isn't just about distance or speed!
