Honest question: do people really wear digital, "smart" watches?
When I see people wearing a watch, it's usually:
- as a woman's fashion accessory
- as an expensive/dressy/show off piece (Breitling, Panerai, etc.)
- as a retro/hipster/ironic piece (old timex or swatch)
Do people really use/need "smart" watches?
- alwaysinshade 14y agoI don't think the majority of people need or even want smart watches [1]. However an iterative update to the Nano to include Bluetooth 4 connectivity would allow it to be used as a portal to say, the entire music collection sitting on the device in your pocket/handbag, email notifications, weather forecast, Airplay remote etc. So a seemingly pointless ~1gb device becomes a whole lot more desirable through a relatively cheap and simple hardware update. [1] Just another bit of kit that you have to take off/put on each day and doesn't add a whole lot more value than carrying a phone in your pocket. Separate devices are an antithesis to the smartphone - the Swiss Army Knife of the digital world.

When I see people wearing a watch, it's usually [fashion.] Yeah, that's because smart watches haven't caught on yet. There was a time when people only put earrings on their ears, and now there's people walking around with earbuds in them.
