I have a Netduino 2 that looks like an Arduino Uno at first. At the time
it sounded like a good idea. Being an ARM processor I could get
MicroPython running on it and do the requisite blink program.

was another shot. I've got a Fitbit Charge 6 which is similar. I didn't
want a Dick Tracy Communicator smart watch. The Charge is low profile,
tells the time, and gathers metrics. Google bought Fitbit so it may be
doomed.

I had a Fitbit, but the Fitbit went tits up after a year.

I started with a Garmin watch, which was small and sleek, but it NEVER
connected to GPS.  Then I got a Polar, which was a little ugly but worked well,
though it had to be paired with a smartphone GPS. Then the Fitbit.

Now have an Amazfit Bip which beats the crap out of all of them.

It's difficult to predict what MicrosSoft will abandon after seemingly
successful starts.

The same with Google. I liked Google+ ... then, poof!

This guy hated Google+:
