Waterproof can be possible if they get rid of the micro USB port and switch to a wireless induction or a magnetic contact charger. I would rather charge it every other day or so and have a thinner smaller design, than some Breitling monster. My Sony smartwatch 2 is fine and I got used to charging it every other day. I used to wear a T-Touch Tissot and it has a 7 year battery. Who need solar? My other watch is an old Seiko Diver that I have had since the 70's. It is self wind and still works. Just need to shake it a but and reset it. I only put it on when swimming since I don't dive anymore.I do have a dead solar watch, a Citizen EcoDrive. They claim it never needs a batter but that is not true. It's rechargeable lasts about 5 years. It will run if I keep it in the sunlight but shuts down after a hour in the dark.
I agree that manuufacturer has a smart watch now but that does not mean the market is saturated. The market is wide open because few people own them. If a company finally makes a smart watch that people see the value in, then that company will seize the market. Apple has that track record of doing that. They may not be innovators of new technology, but when they do come out with a me too, it usually takes the market by storm and becomes the new standard others copy. I have a pre iphone smart phone, an IPAQ from HP. Then the iphone came out that really worked! Now every smart phone looks like the iphone. Same with ipad, and laptops. Likely the iwatch will set a new direction for both sales and acceptance and functionality.
