But if you haven’t paid your Apple bill, you won’t be going anywhere.....
Has a sleek, timeless Bauhaus design.
I think Apple has made the uber smart watch.
I really must be a Luddite, There’s nothing I see that makes me want to go out and buy such a thing.
Of course I do have to admit that I don’t like jewelry and when I use a watch it’s a mechanical pocket watch. (I like to watch the gears move).
On the other hand I would be interested in a set of spectacles that give me telescopic as well as microscopic abilities. A built-in optical range finder, (not laser or ultrasonic), would also appeal to me.

1. The iCuffLink.

3. The iWingTipBrogans.
4. The iFedoraSnapBrimHat.
5. The iBuggyWhip.
6. The iRotaryTelephone.
7. The i33RPMVinylRecord.
8. The i8TrackTape.
9. The iTieTack.
10. The iBlackAndWhiteTV.

Announcer: Someday, everyone will own a watch like this. Now, it is available only for the privileged few. The Mogasaki Corproration of Tokyo is honored to announce... Kromega III. [ lightning strikes ] A watch so complex, it takes two people to make it work. One hand wears the watch. The other hand presses the buttons that activate the 100% solid state multi-function digital quartz crystal micro-computer unit. And now, you're ready for the third hand to trigger the light-luminating dial to give you an alphanumeric readout accurate to within 9 a year. It's that simple.
KROMEGA III. Command-crafted in impact-resistant crushed chrome. It's no wonder that professional skiiers prefer Kromega III over any ordinary timepiece.
Woman's Voice: And I love Lady Kromega III. The sleek, space-age styling compliments any outfit. [ Woman's other hand presses one of the buttons ] And the clearly displayed perpetual calendar helps me to remember my many appointments. Would you mind? [ other person brings in a spare hand to operate the Lady Kromega III ] Thank you.
Announcer: Kromega III. It's like asking a stranger for the time.
Back when I was a kid and watching Dick Tracy, I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
I’ve been holding out from buying an I phone or smart phone until the next better one comes out....
Unlike that watch, my key fob and keys don’t have to be replaced every 2-3 years just for active vendor support.
That, and if I’m going to have my key fob be replaced by something, it’ll be with a more modification-friendly vendor. Perhaps Android Wear will do well in that regard.
My fob has already replaced the key to my car. And it’s a lot smaller than a smart phone.
I remember seeing a mockup of this in an old “73 Magazine” (Wayne Green published it for amateur radio operators) from 1977. Wayne Green predicted the watch would be used for phone calls and more.
I guess my wife’s car “key” doesn’t tell time, but it does allow her to start the car without taking it out of her purse.
Has anyone seen my watch?
Only if it is free, will work with my Android phone and never needs to be upgraded then I might consider it as long as my key fob still works too for when it fails.
That queer can take his watch and stick it where the sun don’t shine!
This is just Disney’s magic band system.
When a guest goes to the florida parks, a wristband is their key, fastpass, tickets, and even charging to room.
Did apple license this from Disney company?
Car keys have already been replaced.
I don’t really seem to be in the target audience for this. I like mechanical watches.
