Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unless you wore your watch with the face inwards, a leather strap ought to fix this.

Leather straps have buckles.

Just because a strap has a buckle doesn't mean it will ever hit your computer. I wear a Timex Expedition with a leather and fabric strap, and it's almost impossible to make the buckle touch my Macbook because it's too high up on the inside of my wrist - my hand would have to be almost perpendicular to the keyboard, with the backside of my thumb rotated down towards the keys.

This looks great. I'm a little bit confused though by motorola calling itself "a google company" .. wasn't motorola essentially sold to Lenovo?

Or did Google, in addition to the patents, keep the motorola brand?

Why do you rest your wrists on your MacBook Pro while you type?

Who doesn't rest their wrists on the palm rest of the laptop when they type?

I rest the bottom of my palms & the edge of my wrist. Maybe you're wearing your watch too loose and its sliding down your arm? My watch generally doesn't touch the top of the MBP 15" surface as i type.

This has to be the smoothest scrolling image transition on that scale I've seen. Anybody care to enlighten an amateur how they did it?

It looks simulated to me.

Am I the only one who doesn't wear a watch (even if I wanted to) because I don't like the way it scratches against my MacBook Pro?

I assume, until the sale is cleared by regulatory bodies, contracts signed,and money exchanges hands, they are still 'A Google Company'

Cool, a male only product. I know more women that wear watches than men, but let's go with something that is gigantic and only men would wear. Seems to be a sound strategy.

It is kind of comically large, but I presume it's a tradeoff to fit the tech in there, and a screen size that's actually usable for anything.

The only company I know of that's specifically targeted a smartwatch to women is Sony Ericsson back in 2009 (5 years ago), but it didn't quite catch on... https://www.google.com/search?q=MBW-200&rls=en&source=lnms&t...

I guess I'm the only one here who sees no use in that. I have my smartphone with me and my company phone. I don't need another display with less features. Especially not on my arm where I have a real watch.

I somehow feel it as a step between a phone and an hand-free device like google glass (or even implants). But because we have already google glass I don't even see why we need to go a step back.

Edit: downvotes with no comments? I did not expect that here.
