EmoPulse bracelet smartphone wants to go beyond smartwatches

Would you want something like this or just a smartwatch like the Pebble?

  Methinks this one is going to get beat to hell.  It's hard enough wearing a watch without bashing/scraping it up against walls and such, but this thing has "Cracked" written all over it....

I haven't damaged a watch in that way in years, but a bracelet is a funny answer to the ad-screenspace problem. A Watch is a fascinating study in screen space - it should only do about 7 things. (Phone calls plus your choice of six). However since everyone's favorite new paradigm is Touchy, you can't touch anything on a watch - you'd be covering 20+ % of the screen space.
