If they made a smart watch that could do time/calendar, phone calls, text messages, emails, and turn-by-turn navigation - all without requiring tethering to a smartphone - I would buy one and probably not even have a smartphone.
I know I'm an anomaly, but I only use my phone to remain contactable and for GPS navigation until I get back to my desktop. A smartphone that didn't have to tether would suit me well, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there like that.
- jeffool 12y agoI think that's reasonable. If my watch could do everything my phone could do, I'd rather wear a small watch than carry a larger phone. Then again, I'd prefer glasses over a watch.
- Alupis 12y agodo you really want to pay for a second phone line from your carrier just for your watch?
- dragonwriter 12y agoHe said he wouldn't have a separate smartphone, so it would be the first phone line. He seems to prefer a smartphone-in-watch-form-factor.
- Alupis 12y agoMan I thought I was paranoid now... just wait until everyone is walking around looking like the Fed talking into their wrists...
- taternuts 12y agoI think something like that would have to be relatively massive in order to be functional enough to ditch your phone, though
