My buddy has a pebble watch and I actually think it's pretty cool. That being said, I have two major problems with smart watches:
1. I'm looking for ways to get disconnected these days; I don't want another gizmo that tracks my existence and pushes useless information at me. The article nonchalantly throws in how the smartwatch is gaining traction from SV due to its potential as yet another platform for people to buy stuff on , as if making a customer's life better has somehow become an afterthought. Why don't companies even pretend to care anymore?
2. Most importantly, automatic watches are amazing and one of the coolest things about owning a watch is marveling at the intricacies of it. There's a certain 'magic' missing from digital watches that I hope future smartwatch makers learn to replicate. Things like IEEE 802.15.4 give me hope that there's a way to bring these two worlds together.
