No smart phone, tablet or anything but a laptop and desktop,
Why would I have more devices to do more work on,

Just because you have a smart device doesn't mean you have to do work on it.

At least 661, or 66.97% (thus far) of us are smart enough to not buy such dumb products.

I didn't qualify we were gonna remain or maintain consistency in being "smart"!!

(smart or not) Watch and Glasses are the items that I am trying to avoid. What I want is a decent and useful fitness device.

I do without watch over 20 years...

I'm a coder. I hate those that encode a function that does more than one thing. So, imagine a watch that is more than being a watch and sunglasses that are more to be glasses ... It is not for me. Also, I have a certain fear to see someone with a smart phone, his smart watch, his smart sunglasses and his bluetooth headset. We are borges. Resistance is futile ...

I don't wear a watch so it doesn't warrant being smart.
I don't wear glasses, so they also don't warrant being smart.
Maybe I am just smart enough!

I definitely won't be interested in a smart watch, but smart glasses...
The technology will definitely interest me. I'd try it out first and if I like it I might buy it.

Nope.
Did I mention I won't be getting any?

Yet to check those stuffs. Already too many smart devices around and making me dumb day by day. Definitely not this year.

I voted no, but if I had to choose between the 2, I would get a smart watch. They are a companion device to the smartphone and can come in handy in cases where you want to read a text, email, or answer your phone without having to reach into your pocket in situations such as in meetings. Right now the offerings are not very stylish -- it is very obvious you are wearing one. I think they would be better if they looked more like a traditional wristwatch, so you could wear them more discretely.
Smart glasses are just far too impractical for me to take seriously. I wear prescription glasses, so I would either need to wear them all the time, or swap between them. I wouldn't want to have a screen in front of my face 24/7. I'm not even sure if they would technically work for me because my glasses prescription is stronger than the maximum recommendation.

I'm not sure if looking at your watch every few minutes during a meeting could be a good thing

The majority here in the comments seem to be laggards (as I am admittedly). Nonetheless, I'm interested how it evolves.
So, what exactly do you use it for (what is the use case that a company buys a google glass for his employees)?
Is it a technical need, a geek culture in your company, or cocooning tactic?
Cheers

Ok, interesting. Thanks for sharing your application/use case with us.
The private part is geek/fun.
The professional part seems research at the current point. I wonder how much "stress" the eyes/brain have with the permanent exposure to google glass. I have zero experience with that and no clue how that feels, e.g. haveing google glass on for a full working day. I wonder how much ergonomic this is (tired eyes that fail to focus in the evening, dried out eyes since lid movement is disturbed (i.e. due to constant "staring"), headache, ...?). Maybe you tell use sometime in an article on CP
Cheers

Granted, even a cell phone is really only a convenience, and I did without one for quite a while. Yet it does help solve the problem of my wife and I having to determine who will pick the kid up from school.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
