I'm in, the moment Jolla announces a SFOS Smartwatch. However, I suspect they won't do that since they gave up on the hardware business (remember the Tablet disaster?). And the existing few smartwatch vendors are more or less focused on Android Wear.
So yeah, we're probably stuck with community-built systems for existing smartwatches. Unfortunately, the last time I checked AsteroidOS a few months back, there still was no usable SFOS Companion App (only some year-old alpha version). So my hopes on using an AsteroidOS powered device are (sadly) pretty low.
I'd say the best way would probably be to implement support for Android Wear, if a universal connector exists. That way you could pair any of those smartwatches with your SFOS device (and hopefully isolate it from the internet / control which data gets transmitted). But I suspect that every vendor has its own protocol which makes this idea obsolete.
But of course, I'm hoping that I'm wrong in some point and we will see a good smartwatch for SFOS soon (especially, since the battery of my Pebble starts getting weaker).
Those examples above really convinve, would definitely be a beauty! I don't even need smartwatch to anything, but if there would exist a SFOS smartwatch... I could NOT resist it! :D
