>Wasn't it only a year or two ago about how we were congratulating ourselves on not having to wear watches,
>because hey, everyone's got a smart phone and you can just check the time on that.
That was obviously short-sighted and just plain dumb. And I say that as someone who made that very claim. I just didn't anticipate all the health tracking and messaging functionality that would become available in watches.
>I don't wear a watch day-to-day. When I do wear one, it's with a suit as a fashion accessory. And I seriously doubt smart watches will ever look classy. Flashy, yes. Classy, no.
Smarter people don't really care about a watch looking "classy" since that's just a euphemism for an embarrassing show of wealth. We want functionality that will enhance our lives.
