Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

No kidding, when was the last time you saw a non-tool wearing a digital watch?
People went back to the real deal for a reason.

Be interesting to know the number of $500 iwatches languishing in top draws across America in 18 months...

Er, 93 million miles...but what's five million miles between friends? :-)

Digital watches are so yesterday, but wearable computers are just coming into their own. Personally I'm more excited about augmented reality glasses like those from Magic Leap. That said, the Apple Watch has a lot of potential, particularly in the health/fitness area.

They also seem to be inordinately concerned with the movement of small pieces of paper.
