A series of photos uploaded by a Weibo user shows what's claimed to be
Halfbeak. On the back of the smartwatch is HTC's logo and, notably, Under Armour's, suggesting that the Android Wear smartwatch will focus on fitness.

Hyporhamphus collettei, a new species of inshore
halfbeak (Hcmiramphidae) endemic to Bermuda, with comments on the biogeography of the Hyporhamphus unifasciatus species group.
Analyses of life-history data show that both the size-specific batch fecundities and the age-specific spawning frequencies differ for two
halfbeak species, Hemiramphus brasiliensis, the ballyhoo, and H.
In Florida Bay, aside from the dominant proportions of ballyhoo, only the silverstripe
halfbeak (l), was found in appreciable numbers (Table 3; Fig.

Traditionally, circle hooks are pushed through the beak from top to bottom (the beak is an extension of the lower jaw; hence the family name "
halfbeak").
Abstract--Two
halfbeak species, ballyhoo (Hemiramphus brasiliensis) and balao (H.
This
halfbeak fishery dates back to the 1950's (Siebenaler, 1955), and annual landings increased rapidly in the late 1960's because demand for bait from marine recreational anglers had increased (Berkeley et al., 1975).
The numerically dominant, resident fish in the south-central and south bay, the slough anchovy (Anchoa delicatissima), clustered in this group along and California
halfbeak (Hyporhamphus rosae), the deepbody anchovy (Anchoa compressa), the California killifish (Fundulus parvipinnis) and arrow goby (Clevelandia ios).
Four species were unique to Great South Channel samples: shrimp (Pandalus spp.), finger sponge (Haliclona oculata), silverstripe
halfbeak (Hyporhamphus unifasciatus), and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).
Only 1 out of the 20 stomachs examined contained
halfbeaks and none in the Clupeidae family were identified.
Biology of two exploited species of
halfbeaks, Hemiramphus brasiliensis and H.
The scombereosocids belong to the order Beloniformes that also includes other pelagic species, such as
halfbeaks (Hemirhamphidae) and flying fish (Exocoetidae), relatively important in coastal tropical waters.
