Smartwatch
it is being launched in the US today. Other manufacturers have already introduced smart watches but they haven't really been successful.

With a smart watch I would need my glasses on so...not interested.

I wear glasses all the time, but when I'm in bed I can make out the pointers on mine but not the digi bits!

don't see the point in the current crop of smart watches as there limited to being within range of the phone and its just as much hassle to pull the phone out of the pocket as it is to pull up the sleeve to read the watch /
some of the modern digital watches have decent illumination features that provide an easy to read time regardless of wither or not glasses are being used
as for the apple watch, its double the price for the same or less functionality of other brands, just like everything else they make all fur coat and no knickers /

Quote from: dvorak not sure why all the fuss today over a watch that won't even run for 24 hours..
Or going to be available until april I believe. So just going to be a tedious rehashing of the previous tedious 'event'

Quote from: artmo Would you pay £220 for the new Apple Smartwatch?
You must be joking. Apart from the fact it's made by Apple I really don't see the point of them.
Will it help me to understand what SWMBO really means?
Smart this, smart that - the prices are enough to makes your eyes smart
As for digital vs analogue I always find I get the time quicker from a glance at an analogue face than digital.

Casio W86 is my everyday watch, has been for the last 20+ years, think im on number 4 at the moment
Its cheap & it tells the time reliably, fits the description of a wrist watch perfectly
