Smart watch?
So a year ago I'm riding with a couple of guys in a brevet. Near the end of the ride, one guy's watch beeps, he takes a quick look at it, and tells it to read the text to him. It does, and he replies by talking into it.
Yeah, I know Siri's been around for awhile, and there are other options. I started using Siri on my iPhone to read and respond to texts, but it doesn't work well with my phone in my shirt pocket.
I'm not interested in the fitness apps at all. I don't track my mileage, my heart rate, or how many steps I took today. It appears that most (all?) of these watches have that functionality, so be it, I'll just not use it.
What I would like is a smart watch that can:
1. Send and receive text via voice commands
2. Has Siri or Google assistant like functionality
3. Can give turn by turn directions from ridewithgps maps
4. Can act as a cyclometer via GPS
5. I can ride in the rain and not worry about it
6. Works with my iPhone
7. Works when my phone is in my handlebar bag
Would love to hear from someone that's actually using a smart phone.
