Is there really not a devices that does this?

[MrScott81]

I want a watch that will do GPS tracking (similar to Garmin, Tom Tom, etc), that will also allow me to stream music to bluetooth headphones.

I have searched a fair amount, and don't see anything like this on the market.

Perhaps I am just blind.

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated

Even the smart watches on the horizon can't do all that from what I've seen

Me neither, and I really don't understand why. There are plenty of watches that do GPS already, adding bluetooth doesn't seem to be very difficult (and there is actually already a Tom Tom watch that has bluetooth accessories, but they don't support music).

Unless there would just be no desire to say, listen to music wirelessly while you walk/run/bike/hike, etc. The technology has to be there, I'm surprised something like this is not out yet.

Well, I personally think it's a matter of size for a watch. Watches are already quite big and if you added in gps, bluetooth, flash memory, a screen to at least modes/fuction you're using and a battery big enough to run it all you're looking at more than I'd wear on my wrist. Honestly I'd get an armband for my phone before I'd put all that on my wrist.

But hey, maybe there's a lot like you who want it. Maybe you should team up with somebody and start a kickstarter page

Low energy bluetooth is still in it's infancy, current BT tech would burn through the battery in short order, and GPS units use a ton of juice as well.

Find a small phone, use it on a wristband. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire-3337.php

Not going to happen. I am not keen on the smart watch itself, let along that many functions all built into it.

cum back in 10 years when battery technology has evolved to do that in a watch size

You gotta wait for the smart watch.

Use a wrist holder for your cellphone.
