Buyer Beware...

Like many "smart watches" that claim to offer advanced positioning systems "built into" the watch itself - the actual usefullness AND functionality may NOT exist!

At a bare minimum a device needs to be able to provide a users coordinates and position via a menu/display item on the watch itself.

"tracking" at minimum ought to involve a graphical display of historical position(s) along with and in relation to current position.

Last but not least, all the above may (or NOT!) be overlapped on a graphical map of the area the user is in.

While many (for example) Garmin "Smart Watches" CAN provide the above functionality on their products (and more) many of the inexpensive products from China (an elsewhere) not so much. The inexpensive products tend to rely on ones paired "smart phone" for any actual coordinates, position, tracking and mapping functionality. Thus making their "smart watch" products more of an alternate display for the smart phone.
