- lostlogin 8y agoGreat comment. 2 thoughts: web browsing is a bit grim and the need for using 2 hands seems irritating, especially as you’ll be scrolling a lot on a small screen.
- cimmanom 8y agoTake off the band and use it as a phone? We could all put them on chains again instead and walk around like 19thC gents with their chained pocket watches?
- Serow225 8y agoThat's my plan. No joke.
- cimmanom 8y agoI have half a mind to do this as soon as it gets big enough (as that seems to be the trend for the watch too) to use for browsing and maps. Tho... how much functionality does the watch have if you don’t pair it with a phone?

- NeedMoreTea 8y agoActually, that's a far more appealing form factor for the watch than wrist as I still find smart watches too bulky for my taste. Edit: Someone did it nicely already - I could quite happily use this. https://twitter.com/MatthewSchneier/status/610396428444131328/photo/1 https://twitter.com/MatthewSchneier/status/61039642844413132...
- aczerepinski 8y agoThey've already started making the watch bigger. How many generations of "now 25% bigger" watches until you can no longer wear it on your wrist?
- megaremote 8y agoThe watch is smaller. The watch screen is bigger.
- redisman 8y agoI guess I'll buy the iWatch XXXL in a few years and cut out the strap to have a iPhone 5 form factor phone with updated specs...
