I'm still not sold on the idea of a 'smart watch'. And I'll admit I have a thing for mechanical watches, so if I'm going to spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on a watch, it's probably going to be a nice 'real' watch, rather than one of these things. And for a 'sports' watch, just a cheap velcro-strap casio/timex with a stopwatch function is all I need.
Until these watches integrate real 'phone' capabilities (so I don't have to also carry a bulky smartphone), I just don't see the point.
- matwood 12y agoGreat points that I agree with. For many people the ubiquitous phone has replaced the previous need for a watch. Now if someone wears a watch it is typically solely for fashion. If like you said, a watch could stand on its own as a communication/fitbit device then it might take off. Perhaps Apple is simply out front here?
