that can easily display Wikipedia pages(or at least of few lines)? I like to look up a lot of random info when I'm watching tv and such. My ideal situation would be to leave my phone in my room and move around my house without carrying/losing it.

 

Thanks

Smartwatches are for reading notifications, not for reading actual content. But i'd go with the new moto 360. Don't even think about getting an apple watch.  it pulls everything off your phone to work.

You're trying to haul a theoretical boat in a theoretical toyota yaris; it's not going to work well, if at all. 

 

Are phones really that easy to lose in your home?  :huh:

You don't have to have your phone taped to the Apple watch you know. My Watch maintains connection with my phone as long as I'm not more than two floors away from it.

That is what I was afraid of. Technology isn't there yet, I guess. =/

Thanks for the replies, guys. I check out the moto 360 and the Gear S. The apple watch looks nice but I have a galaxy s5. Is there any advantage in pairing like brand devices?

I found an app called "Attopedia." It looks like it'll do what I want. So back to which smartwatch would be good for me.
