Garmin Fenix 3 - Day 8

I read an article yesterday on the Apple watch in Smart company. You can see the full article here.

There seems to be a common thought emerging from a number of tech analysts which makes me think most of them can't think outside the current leaders in this space (being Apple and Samsung...or perhaps Microsoft). What the analysts seem to be missing is the fact that the whole smart watch revolution will be about data. So the people that are going to pick this up first may not be the normal "bleeding edge" tech savvy people that bought the first iPhone, but sports people are all about tracking data to improve their fitness/sport. Seems the geek bloggers don't understand the audience that demand for these devices are going to be driven by.

At the end of a week wearing the watch full time I have to say I really enjoy the smart notifications, its a functional watch and the only down side is, as an everyday watch, its quite large. Though having said that I know that there are plenty of people wearing gigantic watches on their wrists these days. I'm just not used to having my sleeve unable to fit over the top of my watch!
