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.

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

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

Not having to carry shit, not having to worry about losing shit when drunk, etc.

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.

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2013, 12:33:11 PM »

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.

BlackMage · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2013, 12:49:45 PM »

because its one step closer to me getting a pip boy. don't criticize my shit!

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

bork · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2013, 03:24:21 PM »

LOL, yeah, I had that too. The Tetris and Starfox watches were mail order offers from Kellogg's cereals, IIRC.

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

real game & watches

jiji · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2013, 04:47:28 PM »

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.

Reb · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:10:21 PM »

Looking at your phone in a business meeting is not done.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #25 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:17:02 PM »

yeah, anyone who does that at a meeting is a douche. shocking how many people do that.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #26 on:** March 22, 2013, 07:29:50 PM »

Because I'm tired of my watch being a fucking moron all the time.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #27 on:** March 22, 2013, 07:37:40 PM »

In theory it's a trendy rape alarm or mugging target or both.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #28 on:** March 22, 2013, 07:39:36 PM »

It's either rape-time, or the watch is seriously expensive.

Avoid both scenarios by not wearing a wrist bangle.

PigSpeakers · « **Reply #29 on:** March 24, 2013, 01:26:28 AM »

My watch tells me the time AND the date. And it's got a stopwatch. Pretty nifty.
