#22I don't want a watch, but I might wear a paper-thin, flexible, all-over display bracelet.

#23I already have two watches of varying smartness:
The Swatch pager watch. It could receive pager messages. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xyNFzEc8eE4
The Microsoft / Timex Datalink. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Datalink
Both persuaded me that I just want my watch to tell the time, and maybe the date, and nothing else.

#26If they made a smart watch that could do time/calendar, phone calls, text messages, emails, and turn-by-turn navigation - all without requiring tethering to a smartphone - I would buy one and probably not even have a smartphone. I know I'm an anomaly, but I only use my phone to remain contactable and for GPS navigation until I get back to my desktop. A smartphone that didn't have to tether would suit me well, but the…

#30I think we already know how the Apple iWatch will be:
1) Apple will announce it's entry into the smart watch market
2) Apple will release a technically sub-par product but fans will buy it up
3) Apple won't refresh the iWatch until way after it's overdue, but will continue to charge a premium
4) Android eats up majority of the smart watch market by flooding it with varying price and quality levels, as well as monthly hardware refreshes (due to the number of oem's)... leaving something for everyone
