https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/717828519/gameband-the-first-smartwatch-for-gamers

they say they have partnered with atari and Terraria to bring games to their smart watch

Quote

Gameband’s MicroSD extends what users can do with the device, allowing them to play full PC version of games directly from Gameband on any computer using Gameband’s ‘PixelFurnace’ game management & launch platform, wirelessly play music on audio devices, and to store and access photos and files as alternative to clogged phone storage. 

Is this project going to add anything to the smart watch space or is it just a kick fart?

Would you buy one?

Would you develop games for a smart watch like they are doing? - no GPS so no augmented reality games like pokemon go

Games.

Yes. I love trying out new tech even if it's a flop since everything needs a chance before being criticized. I bought the Vive and Pebble on launch (Pebble with Kickstarter) and have regretted neither of them.

I wouldn't mind getting back into programming if I can help them out. Hopefully this has a microphone, so that I could possibly work at making a mini PDR or AviMark smartwatch app.
