The few I've had and a lot I've seen can cause your wrist to sweat because of the rubber/plastic junk in it. This also varies by climate and season but for the most part I've seen a lot of rubber watch bands do this.

Well different people are different. And if you couldn't swap the band then it's automatically a dumb watch anyway.

Well that probably means its too tight for you or too hot outside, or both.

And you're saying that to the person that's skinny? I think it's just something in the rubber that reacts with your skin making it sweat, either way I prefer cloth bands anyways, they're more comfortable to me too

Haha nope just in general about the rest of america. I prefer the feel of cold steel against my skin. It's like sex with a iron dragon on your wrist.

Real men wear metal clasp watches. >.>

I don't think I'll ever go with a smart watch, simply because I love my mechanical (is that the right term?) watch and I don't use my phone often enough to see it on my wrist instead of taking my phone out.

I am looking for a smartwatch, but I don't want to pay that much for one. I know the Pebble is inexpensive when compared to other smartwatches out right now, but I find even that pricey.

Let's see what Archos has to offer for that $100 price tag. If it's good enough, I think I'll pick one up.

Well you'll be happy to know that Archos is planning on releasing 3 versions of this watch with different battery life/screen type/ID and they planned prices are $50/$150/$200.
