#4Avid sailor here, and I like to race, typical race is ~6 hours, but longer races too, 24-48 hours. We are continually evaluating, speed over ground, radios, depth, AIS for marine traffic, tide flow (current), GPS, charts, race course, etc. We have many devices that give us a picture of what is going on.

Sure, we use a computer to compile most of this data, but imagine just peering into Google Glass, and having this compiled without moving around!
I'm not too concerned about fashion or image while out on the water. My main focus is winning, or coming close to it!

Wear Glass when you need it and it is applicable.

A friend of mine has some ski goggles with a HUD from Recon Instruments. They do make sense for some applications. In your case, I hope they're waterproof (but I don't think they are...)

#9A really interesting product, and pleasant looking laid out on a table, but just horrible as a fashion piece.

I believe this is one of the main reasons why the device itself doesn't have a data connection. Think of it as wearing one of those bluetooth earpieces that you pair with your phone.
