the iWatch, or any of the wrist mounted phones, will be a complete flop. no one wants to have an intercom, wireless or not, strapped to their wrist for everyone to hear
even a wrist mounted touch pad would be pointless.
wireless displays mounted in contact lens might be a big thing... but that’s still a little ways off
iWatch...sounds like a porn device.
You heard it from me, probably not first, but the idea of a wrist watch is to tie in a heart rate monitor and a blood oxygen monitor to augment Apple’s dedicated fitness metrics chip already present on the iPhone 5S.
THe difference here, much to my anti-Apple chagrin, is that the cult of Apple insures success. Samsung, Sony, and a few others have smart watches, they aren’t doing well but Apple will come in and “originate” and the masses will slop it up as mana from heaven.
I think you miss the logic of the device as the 'iWatch' moniker refers more to its place-of-wear position. Last I saw, there was an environment being designed around the device for exercise, health, emergency alerts and other such desirable features to have immediately at hand. I am looking forward to, I hope, the same sense of WOW that happened when the iPad made immediate believers. We will see!
You might poke your eye out trying to use the touch screen though.
Then there is the woman in the Toyota SUV I saw yesterday.
She was texting deftly with one hand while driving on the interstate.
The watch would take both hands out of play. Look Ma!! no Hands!!
