I think Garmin Vivoactive 3 is Beautiful watch that looks like a regular watch. Garmin Vivoactive 3 is very lightweight, the stock band is super soft and comfortable and It looks like a real watch. More importantly it looks and feels stylish in its classic circular form and light weight design.

      I agree with the camera.
      Actually I buy cars with the least phone-ish options possible:
      1- I never use phone while driving, even hands-free
      2- I use the phone's GPS.

            Its same like car navigation we have a cell phone.
            For many we have a cell phone which surpased most other gadgets over the past 30 years but only few remains untouched. Like camera.
            A phone which will do significaly better photos than a DSLR camera is not even close to research maybe in next 20 years but not now.

              Running with just a watch and bluetooth headphones is brilliant.

                What's the point of storing music on it when you need the phone with you to take calls?

                    Smartwatches are stupid.
                    When i want to check time i take phone.
                    For anything else i use phone.
                    Talking to smarwatches like in knightrider series i am not fancy of that trend.
                    Looks strange.

                                  Anonymous, 13 Jun 2018storage is measured in MB, not songs...Actually. An avarage song file using MP3 Codec weighs about 4 MB, 4Mb x500=2 GB.
                                  That would mean the OS that runs the watch is compressed to the size of 2 GB, WHICH IS 16% Smaller compared to other smartwatch OSes (that typically occopy around 2.4GB)
