Looking at the Omate TrueSmart it can pair with Android and Apple devices (and BB I think) so that in its self could prove interesting determining where the data has come from. Indeed determining if the data is created by the device itself or from a handset(s).
Interesting area of work. The key to access perhaps lies in the Omate TrueSmart use of Omate UI v1.0. Open that access and it 'may' be possible to sync/export to numerous reader systems as I can only summise at this stage the data might not be encrypted in order to speed transfer for use in a range of disparate devcies e.g. Android/Apple/Blackberry, so that the devices can speedily make us of that data. That maybe pure speculation on my behalf as I have not researched any further at present and it might be the the watch require that the UI to be pre-profiled with a destination device/OS.
The OSs on alot of the watches I read about tended to be Android, but a smaller range tended to make use of of proprietory apps to interface to OSs and some made use of OS modified (Leaf) from the Android OS. There are other OSs (FreeRTOS, ANT+ PalmOS etc) that transfer output to other operating systems or like-for/like OS.
Bluetooth tends to be the common transport method referred to for communicating data from source to destination. I did read about a watch that uses pulse-light to transfer data and other watches having the capability to use a plug-in microUSB cable.
