Take this one with many grains of salt.


        1. Actually, it normally shows a clock. I swipe up and down, it places a facetime call. I swipe right twice, it makes a normal call. I swipe twice left, it shows me ticker prices, temperature, or whatever I have configured. Make it a 40 dollar device and everybody in the family will have one.

  1. Hmm. I’m not sure what features would compel me to talk into a wrist watch. I stopped wearing a watch several years ago. Like many people, I use my phone for the time and dozens of other things.

    1. MDN have “forgotten” nothing. Rather, it looks like you forgot to continue reading.

      MDN’s very next sentence after the one you quoted:


  2. I would humbly suggest that Apple focus on watch accuracy before they add Bluetooth connectivity. The iPod Nano, for example is a lousy watch because you can’t set it to the correct second. You can only set it to the minute. Not very “smart” in my opinion.

  3. I haven’t worn a watch in years unless you count some important meetings or weddings – times when it’s more an accessory more than a tool. And even then I’d catch myself peeking at my iPhone for the time because I’d forget I’m wearing a timepiece.

    That all said, if Apple can bring something new and useful to the watch I’d be a buyer at a certain price point. It would need to be a few things for me, though. It would have to be extremely classy with high quality materials — not a toy. In addition, I think a nice touch would be a screen that appears very clear and high res from a particular viewing angle but obscured from any other angle. It’s just practical because you can so easily adjust the angle with your hand and it would make for needed privacy. Another very cool touch (if it’s possible) would be that it looks like a mechanical watch from every angle accept the exact one used for information display. That would be really cool.

    1. And… The watch has 16 motion and temperature controls and gyroscopes. It shoots out infrared beams to your hand and fingers to recognize your finger position and movements.

      Then you can control sign boards and advertising signs or drive your car with the wave of your hand

  4. “And, seriously, who under age 50 wears a watch anymore, anyway? ”

    Well, many young fellows who likes to dress well. Watches are one of the few pieces of jewelry men can wear. There is more to personal appearance than jeans, sweatshirts and baseball caps worn backwards.
