I guess I have yet to understand why I’d want it to run a full OS. Is it because of contactless pay? I think the new Mii band version can do that too. Maybe the only feature I miss, but then on when I go shopping I have my phone with me anyways.
well you can install applications and stuff.
these are a completely different category of devices, and can even sometimes even operate autonomously without your phone.
(like you can connect your headphones directly to your watch, launch Spotify on it and listen to music while streaming it using a built-in sim slot (not applicable to all of them but you get it, some high end ones can do that), or play music from huge onboard memory)
they usually have full mobile cpus, and unline bands (which usually have something like a 100mhz microcontroller with 5mb of ram and can run for about 2-4 weeks from a single charge) these things usually run for 1-7 days (depending on the model) without heavy use.
you are comparing fitness bands and a smart watch.
this thing just like galaxy ones is running Android
