With the impending arrival of the AppleWatch next year and the WatchKit SDK next month I\u2019m starting to shift my focus towards \u2018wearables\u2019. They present a few challenges to me as a developer, not the least of which is that I have almost no experience with that type of device. I used to wear a watch years ago but haven\u2019t consistently for a long time. I saw the Pebble when it first came out and it looked kinda janky. But now it is clear this is an area that the larger companies that I piggyback my business on are heading so I\u2019m trying hard to make sure I don\u2019t fall off.\n\nTo help me get up to speed I\u2019ve been purchasing a variety of devices to start getting my feet at least slightly damp, if not actually wet. I started with the Jawbone UP and just got the Microsft Band. These are my initial reactions and thoughts.\n\n\nJawbone UP 24\nMicrosoft Band
