I really think the smart watch is gonna be the next big thing and if it really takes off they'll become status symbols in themselves.
The one thing that these Japanese and Swiss watchmakers know is that watches are for telling time, but high-end watches are jewelry.

My pops gave me half his watch collection. Some really nice pieces too. But I feel uncomfortable wearing a watch. I only wear them on formal occasions when I put on a suit. Most young people I know are like that.

The older generation won't give a f*ck, but let's not act like a watch that spits out a holographic display of where you're at in the city that you can move around like Tom Cruise in the Minority Report isn't some :banderas: type sh*t. Gen X, Y, and Z will be coppin' that sh*t at $5K-10K no problems.

Yea but the hand you normally use to hold the phone is free now. :blessed:

Also everyone knows talking into your watch makes you look like a boss. :smugdraper:

:wtf: No it's not free. What can you do with your hand will you other hand is on its wrist. Cellphones can be used with one hand. You have more freedom with one hand using a cellphone than your hand being on a watch.

I just seen someone using a smart watch and the functionality made no sense b/c you could just use your phone. Im not saying this idea won't sell, all it takes is the right advertising but this shyt has no utility.
