The Vivo looks great. Would it useable for a 65 year old man with limited tech knowledge? My dad wants a pedometer for his bday. Instead a crappy 30 dollar one on amazon I would spring for this if it is extremely easy to use.
Depends if he has a compatible smartphone:
Currently, the Vivofit can connect to the iPhone 4S and later, as well as Android 4.3 devices with Bluetooth Smart technology (the HTC One, Galaxy Note 2 and 3, and Galaxy S3 and S4).
If so, these devices are pretty easy to use.
A lot of people don't want all those features, but do want something that you never have to worry about contrast with, are fairly light weight and bulletproof, and never have to have a battery replaced.
Not to mention, the Seikos can be worn and still look nice vs a bulky rubber watch.
I mean, I get that not everyone wants a smartwatch but what is the point of a $200 rubber watch?
For $20 I can get a rubber watch that meets all his qualifications. Even if its less reliable than the $200 one, I can buy ten of them. Heck just throw them away when the battery dies.
Jeez for $50 you can get a stainless steel watch for crying out loud:

That will look nicer than any rubber watch ever.
I bought my wife's nice Bulova watch for less than $200. For that much money, you should get something with some compute in it!
