Smartwatch... A step too far?

When will they be on fast tech?

Its not for me I just use a phone for what it is. Because I am in the meat trade a smartphone would not take the punishment, hot, very cold, very wet, dropped with wet hands onto tiled floors My phone takes all of this and has not missed a beat (or phone call) in 2 years of this punishment. As for needing to read e-mails there is nothing that can be described as "urgent" that can't wait until I get home, so it will be a No from me

This is my phone

I love my iPhone 4S. I couldn't organise my life without it. I have quite bad memory problems and I love putting every little thing I need to remember in it and have alerts go off all day to remind me. I know most phones do this nowadays, but it just enjoy Apple products.
I don't think I could get on with a smart watch because my eyesight is too bad. I really would like one, but the screen would need to be the size of a brick lol

I was watching the bbc news channel gadget show called Click the other night. I was very interested in all the new security solutions about to be launched. I would love to have the fingerprint recognition thing. It means no one but you can use it.

Technology rolls on ......


I don't even own a mobile phone! Can't stand the damn things. I will admit to owning a very nice tablet, but I only purchased that so I could avoid the main PC. All this coming from a guy who has spent a great deal of his life reviewing technology!

I love me a gadget but I don't get these either. I have an iPhone. An iPod. An iPad. I desktop. A laptop. A HTPC. Etc. I like shiny gadgets.

But I don't get the smart watch either.

My phone is an iPhone 5. I don't want a bigger screen then have to get a gadget to operate it because the screen on my phone is too big to deal with ad a phone.

If I want to watch movies or YouTube. I have my iPad. If I want to listen to music I use my iPod. I want my phone for texting calls and email. I use whatsapp and Facebook to keep in touch with family abroad. I don't even really have games on my phone besides bejewelled which is great for waiting at doctors etc.

That and I love watches. I have about 30 and I'd have to wear a watch I think looks shocking. If they made it look like my favourite edifice I might be interested lol.

But I see if you have a phablet that it will be a help. But for me personally I don't see it ever being something that will interest me.

I never wear a watch but I do have a smart clock. it tells the correct friggin time twice a day.

usually use the moby for checking the time.

apple will unveil a similar version next week.

After today's announcements I have to wonder whether Apple have just been winding people up
