I like the look of this watch more than the others i've seen. But, I guess I just dont get it. Anyone with the smart technology on the wrist is probably going to to have it in their purse or pocket in the way of the cell phone anyway, and it's limited in its capabilities compaired to a smart phone.
Years ago before cell phones, I had a casio digital watch with a pager built into it. I liked it because i didnt have to carry a beeper with me, it was compact, and had current weather and traffic displays. But If i had the same duplicate technology in my pocket i wouldnt have bought it, so i guess this just wouldnt work for me.

I do agree Peter. I really like how this one looks, less space aged than most

I quite like this one, and I am kind of a tech-lover myself. I don't own a smartwatch but I have to say I have thought about it, and in the future I can see them becoming immensely popular once they find a way to properly fit many of the features of a smartphone into a watch. I think the attraction to these is one of convenience, a lot like the bluetooth headsets that you occasionally see.

Some where in my drawer are a couple of early smart watches that worked with my computer by flashing data from the screen to the watch. While I dont remember what the watch actually did for me but it was smart enough to get me to buy a few and wear them for a while.

I find it humorous they call it the Moto.

Moto is our nickname for one of our more obnoxious colleagues...

It is short for Master of the Obvious!
