These days I only wear my watch as more of a fashion item if I am going out rather than to tell the time.
However that doesn't mean smart watches are useless as so many people are saying.
I love the concept of the Pebble, but currently I don't think it does quite enough to warrant a purchase for me. Nor does it look aesthetically appealing which is the biggest importance for me in a watch.
People use fitness bands such as the Nike Fuel band for example. These bands could and should be part of the watch because that would nearly seal the deal for me right there.
All guessing for now though before we actually see if they have anything up their sleeves and what it is.
But why couldn't it nearly completely control your phone without having to get it out of your pocket. Obviously it would use the phone via bluetooth for all its needs.
Chuck in siri, surely it could get a small microphone and speaker.
What about FaceTime? I personally couldn't see FaceTime being something in the first generation of these smart watches, but in the future why not.
Then you have the standard uses like emails, messages etc.
Perhaps you could even take calls on it. Yeah it might look funny, but I've seen people calling on the iPad and it isn't like its any weirder.
Maybe it doesn't even have to look like your standard watch. Could it perhaps be just a band that you would hardly notice on somebody? There are watches like that in existence that are so thin you nearly don't see them. That could be interesting to as it might be more appealing to a whole different group.
I personally think the price is the big yay or nay for this though. It would need to be appealing in style for many people, probably many different options.
By having a lower than Apple standard price tag they could possibly get more people involved in the eco-system because they would see this device could work flawlessly with all other Apple products.
In the end it's still speculation at this point, but I for one hope to see something like this.
Here is the sort of style I mentioned above that might be more appealing to the people who don't think a standard watch is an ideal choice - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1655017763/cst-01-the-worlds-thinnest-watch
