It was marketed primarily to be a fitness related device. Most of the people buying it could not point out their local gym on a map.

Keep in mind a halfway decent heart monitor watch is also a few hundred dollars without the other features that come with this.

That being said I've heard some good things about it in the gym. Im going to wait see before I cop. Apple watch may have some utility for some people but it's a niche market for those that will actually make good use of it
That's not true they have good wearables as cheap as $86...

Why would you need it to sync to equipment? The cheap $86 dollar wearable counts sleep, calories, and HR. I don't see why you would need those three to sync to a shytty cardio machine in the gym. Then again I don't go to the gym to use a cardio machine unless it is the water rower :manny:

Most wearables sync to phone apps nowadays or they have a screen.

That's cool you work in a gym though big guy. :salute:

No shyt people wear heart rate monitors for health. I WEAR ONE:dead:

My point is, you don't need to connect it to a machine. I've never once felt the need to connect my polar to a machine.

LMAO... Breh im a member of all Northern California Equinox Gyms in The bay.. I don't know where you work, but I guarantee it isn't nicer than these gyms on a cosmetic level. :heh:


www1.equinox.com/regions/northerncalifornia

All the equipment at my gym is state of the art. I just call cardio equipment shytty not because of the actually physical quality, but because cardio equipment is just "shytty" to me in general. I don't pay $200 a month to use a treadmill

Why the fukk would anyone care about the "cosmetic level" of a gym? Never heard of it

Carry on

Cosmetic, meaning the quality of the equipment, the appearance of The club, the cleanliness, and the amenities. You work at a gym so you should be familiar with those measures of quality.

You brought up "shytty equipment" and me being "broke" so I had to dead that shyt right there. Stay on topic next time instead of getting all snappy like I said something offensive to you :heh:

Cosmetic definition - affecting only the appearance of something rather than its substance. :skip:

thats actually pretty brilliant. whoever comes up with this first will win.

Actually, Hyundai has BlueLink which allows you to start your car and more from Android wear and phones....
Hyundai Blue Link Android smartwatch app will start your car

Jonathon Ramsey


We knew Hyundai would be bringing its Blue Link smartwatch app to the Consumer Electronics Show, and now that CES is upon us, the app's workings have been revealed. Once you get the free Blue Link app on your smartphone and your Android smartwatch and pair them up with the app, it's all systems go. Through either touch or voice commands, you can remotely lock or unlock your car doors, start and stop your engine, flash the lights and honk the horn, or have your watch locate your car.

It works on every Hyundai with first- or second-gen Blue Link (which is all of them in the case of first-gen and the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera for second-gen). The watch app isn't quite ready yet, but the company says you'll be able to get it sometime in Q1.

There's a video above showing Hyundai's offering at work, and a press release below with more information below.
HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP WITH VOICE RECOGNITION AT 2015 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW AND PEPCOM'S DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

- Next Generation Blue Link System to Launch on 2016 Elantra GT and Veloster

- The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and second generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models


Fountain Valley, Calif., Jan. 2, 2015 – Smartwatch sales are skyrocketing and starting early in 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect with their cars using these wearable devices and the Hyundai Blue Link® smartwatch app. Hyundai will debut and demonstrate the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom's Digital Experience and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®). Pepcom's Digital Experience takes place before CES on Jan. 5 and Hyundai's exhibit (North Hall, booth #2818) at CES will be open Jan. 6-9, 2015. Hyundai's cloud-based Blue Link platform allows features like remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through devices like smartwatches and smartphones. Hyundai partnered with Station Digital Media to develop the Blue Link smartwatch app.

"This new app expands Hyundai's exploration into how wearable technology and Blue Link fit into a customer's lifestyle," said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, customer connect and service business development, Hyundai Motor America. "Connecting to your car through a smartwatch and voice recognition was previously something seen only in science fiction movies. Now, we can provide this capability to owners of Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link."

The app is easy to use. The wearer simply taps an icon or uses voice commands to execute remote functions. The Blue Link smartwatch app allows Hyundai owners to remote start, lock and unlock doors as well as find their car in a crowded parking lot. Pushing the microphone icon on the watch activates the voice function, where the driver can execute commands such as "Start my car," "Lock my car" or "Find my car."

Blue Link smartwatch features
The Blue Link smartwatch app must be paired via Bluetooth to an owner's smartphone that contains the Blue Link mobile app. Remote functions can then be executed from almost anywhere in the U.S. as long as the user's smartphone has a Bluetooth and cellular or Internet connection. Hyundai representatives will be demonstrating the Blue Link smartwatch app on Samsung, Motorola, Sony and LG smartwatches. Android Wear users can download the app from Google Play for free starting in the first quarter of 2015.

The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and next generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models. The first generation Blue Link system rolled out on the 2012 Sonata and expanded across the lineup through 2013. Next generation Blue Link equipped models include the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera. The smartwatch app provides all Blue Link users, including first generation owners, with even more freedom of choice when interacting with their Hyundai.

Blue Link Smartwatch features (all voice activated):
- Remote Engine Start
- Remote Engine Stop (Only available when vehicle is in remote engine start mode)
- Remote Door Lock / Unlock
- Remote Flash Lights / Honk Horn
- Car Finder
- Call Roadside
- Call Blue Link

NEXT GENERATION BLUE LINK AND THE 2016 ELANTRA GT AND VELOSTER
The next generation Blue Link system featuring a destination search powered by Google™ continues to add new capabilities and is being applied to additional Hyundai vehicles. Recently introduced features such as maintenance alerts and the Hyundai Assurance Car Care in-vehicle app will debut on the 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT and Hyundai Veloster in 2015.

NEXT GENERATION BLUE LINK PARTNERS
The combined first and second generation or next generation Blue Link platform is supported by several key operating partners including Hyundai AutoEver Telematics America, Verizon, Covisint, Minacs, TeleTech and Sirius XM.
