Ok he has his belief, others have theirs, right now the facts are not there to support the speculation..
The cheaper wannabes are the ones that will have trouble. To be honest it is a different market all together than the iPad, with some crossover in the consumer stuff.
your troglodyte tag line cracks me up.
I havn’t had a watch since the eighties when I started carrying a programmable calculator with a built in clock and alarm clock. It was an HP 48SX that I programmed to use as a phonebook and checking account balancer. I made a case for it that merged with my checkbook.
Then came pagers, cell phones, PDAs, and laptops. all of which had built in clocks. Cell phones and smart phones killed watches. Period. there is literally zero reason to wear a watch nowdays aside from bling and narcissism. everything has a clock built into it.
When I first started carrying a cell phone, I always picked out a model based on which had the best, easiest to read at a glance, clock, and the most resistant to heat and perspiration while in my shirtpocket. At the moment that happens to be the casio g’z one. I think the worst ever made by my metric was the motorola razor...although it was a perfect size and shape for a shirt pocket.
