I think it depends how many additional functions you want is what generates the cost difference. Galaxy (my misses has one of them things too) and apple watches can do some really smart shit; call, text, contact less pay, music etc. but have the price tags too reflect that. Personally think you've gone the right way with just a watch that does the 'health' functions 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
