Absolutely. But first gen smartwatches have barely-functioning sleep and step monitors. That's not worth $250.
Another huge problem with the self-quantification trend is there isn't much emphasis on doing stuff with that data. There's a fervor about knowing about yourself, but a large gap in utilizing that data.
Smart watches could very well fill that role. A nice first step would be to stop calling them smart watches. Wearables isn't much better.
- hyp0 12y agoyes, it's very plausible as a thing in itself. They can succeed without replacing smartphones. Computers keep shrinking, from mainframes to desktops, laptops, smartphones. I'm curious about the next smaller form-factor, and argue it's not watches, but glasses. That was the claim I meant to make.
