If you have to check the watch all the time, something is wrong in your life.
I am SICK of having my AWESOME smart phone on my belt or in my pocket. It feels like it gets bigger every day. It falls off me getting in and out of the car.
But I love it and can't stand to be without it.
And I'd look like an idiot if I Velcro'd it to my wrist.
So, I encourage the advancement of smart watches. I look forward to the day it projects a hologram screen that's the size of my tablet screen from my wrist and I can control it by touch.
Don't stop, keep innovating on that watch!
Watches as companion devices seem like a straight-forward upselling move. I don't think it'll work. While we're still using physically constrained screens to show information, I doubt wristwatches will make a comeback. Even if we could fit the functionality of an iPhone into them, the screen is just too tiny to be really useful.

Keep in mind that when you receive a new message, inPulse vibrates and the messages pops up automatically on screen...you don't even need to press anything. We designed inPulse to be useful in the 1-to-10 second timeframe. We knew that if it got too complicated or required too much fiddling, people would just pull out their cellphone. With one button, you can navigate with gloves, when your hands are wet, under the t…
This watch has the potential to be even more interruptive than a silent vibration in your pants. (that came out wrong ... and that too)

Didn't MSFT try to do this like 5 years ago with the smart watch? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Personal_Objects_Technolo... I remember it was expensive and nobody really wanted it.
Who needs it? Awkward, annoying, and I find too many clocks in my life already. Remember when Daylight Savings changed? How many did you set? I counted 13 in my house. Why does the freaking stove need a clock?
I don't know, but whenever we have a power cut, it refuses to cook for us afterwards until we tell it the time.

I'm 19, and I've worn a wristwatch for the last 10 years, at least. The one I currently have hasn't run down its battery for more than two years, and is comfortable and light enough that I never take it off. As a result, I'm often the only person in a group who knows what time it is.

I'm often on a tight schedule and being able to check the time once or twice during a meeting without the client noticing is valuable.
Also, they look nice. And if they make me look older, and therefore more experienced, so much the better!
