Smartwatches. I was convinced enough to bet two years of my life working on them.
- pimmen 9y agoI have two big reasons why I didn't get a smart watch. Number one is the price, I just don't think it's worth hundreds of dollars not to pick up my phone when I get a notification. The other is that the interface is too small to do anything but consuming notifications or looking at a compass. And, I just don't see the problem being solved by speech recognition either, I don't want the rest of the bus to know that I have to Google "where do I buy bigger condoms?".
- sigi45 9y agoMy reason: Don't like to add another thing on the power cord every night.
- swyx 9y agoi was also extremely excited about them but didnt bet a career. i think its a combination of the tech (esp battery tech but also networking) not quite being there yet + a lot of people just plain don't wear watches no matter what. i wouldn't give up on them just yet (for that subset of the general population)
