Just when I stopped wearing a watch since the smartphone does it all.
Some amazing "statements" there!

well, now you can have a smart watch instead of a smart phone, Samsung has just released this.

Does anyone else remember when Dick Tracy was a cartoon character who could talk to HQ on his watch?

I know we used to watch it around the time we got our first TV so it was after my 10th birthday 1965.

I had the casio calculator watch and now i have a Pebble ( www.getpebble.com ) ...  awesome...  great in meetings as phone can be on silent but still see who is calling and if important can tell person "i just need to take this call" and then watch their face....   :o

That Pebble is amazing.  Makes wearing a watch again a viable proposition.  US$150.  Hmm.  Some many toys, so little money (after tyres, petrol etc etc)     :'(
