Why are smartwatches now a big interest to tech companies? Why would you get a smartwatch if you own a smartphone?
-
Cool points.
Don't have to get your phone out of your pocket.
???
-
so that when I get smartpants I can regulate the heat in my butt while maintaining my dignity.

The verge has an article about google making a smartwatch. Im not sure what features it will have.
-
if it doesnt look stupid, sure why not
-
The reason is simple, because they need to sell you more shit you don't need and think this might catch on.
I haven't worn a watch since the 90's and mobile phones :rock

One-way ticket to Nerd City, with a stopoff in Wedgie Town.

It'd be cool if they could make one that looks like a Nike fuel band

only for the elite that can pass the dollar test

If you've a smartphone watches have lost all practical use. The only use watches have for me now is for business (people WILL look down on if you don't wear one even if you use it) and for aesthetic reasons as a watch can complete an outfit. Watches to me in 2013 are just accessories.
-
Don't trust? Well, okay. This is why you should wear watches, people. Watch wearers are a judgmental sort. Wear it for show, not for use.
-
because its one step closer to me getting a pip boy. don't criticize my shit!

That problem being extreme boredom in class. :P

Time to tear apart my house looking for my Starfox watch.

-
LOL, yeah, I had that too. The Tetris and Starfox watches were mail order offers from Kellogg's cereals, IIRC. :lol
-
I had a Zelda one and a Super Mario 3 watch. God damn was I a fucking dork in grade school
To me, those were the :bow real game & watches
-
It's a new thing to sell you, and it's a way for you to compulsively check your shit because you're addicted.
So far they're pretty tacky-looking, but maybe that'll change if they catch on.
I can appreciate a nice watch, but the whole business-world concept of "if you don't wear a watch, you're a boy and not a man" just makes me laugh.
-
Looking at your phone in a business meeting is not done.
-
yeah, anyone who does that at a meeting is a douche. shocking how many people do that.
-
Because I'm tired of my watch being a fucking moron all the time.
-
In theory it's a trendy rape alarm or mugging target or both.
-
It's either rape-time, or the watch is seriously expensive.
Avoid both scenarios by not wearing a wrist bangle.
-
My watch tells me the time AND the date. And it's got a stopwatch. Pretty nifty.
