Would be cool for car manufactures to include support for a smart watch. Push button ignition. I know it already exists but what if you forgot your keys etc?
Are you actually really impressed by what watch a person is wearing, or are you trying to be funny?
Lose your watch, lose your identity. Jeez, it sounds so much like a cheesey Sci-Fi plot
if someone does manage to get ahold of our watch, it will require reauthorization, having been removed from our arm
You don't know much about multifactor authentication, do you?
Amazing at the number of pubescent replies, from people who have no where to go, and no place to be, that they don't need a watch to know that their sorry asses are late.
People still wear watches? I already have a perfectly good time-telling device in my pocket at all times.
You missed this part?
What about the one BIG problem...I don't (and I know many others) want to wear a watch. Ever. I don't want a watch tan, and I don't want that dorky thing strapped to my wrist.
The "problem" it's supposed to solve is that I don't want to take the phone out of my pocket? Why have the phone then? I think it sounds silly.
An iWatch is about 10 years too late! I don't know anyone who wears watches anymore because of the fact that they have cell phones!
I actually think this is interesting and has lots of potential. Not necessarily for a mass market though. A lot here say "I never wear a watch....that's why I have a phone". I ALWAYS wear a watch, and it's not to tell the time. It's for style and style alone. Men's watches are one of the few fashion accessories and statements we have. I never felt so in college but as I got older I've now got quite a collection of watches.
1. Stylish
2. Unlocks things, like cars and/or phones. Having apps built into your phone, car and/or anything else that would lock you out of the device until the watch were nearby is a great idea. Switch the App "off" or have it revert to regular passcode in the event you don't wear that watch for the day.
I'd buy it.
Well, you haven't "seen me" but now you've read me. Old habits develop functional autonomy, but abut two years ago it dawned on me (as my watchband was giving out) - I don't need to replace this damn thing - I'm already carrying the time around.People don't wear watches - but they wear Nike+ Fuelbands.
I have yet to see someone who ditched his or her watch because it was uncomfortable, so that's not the point. They ditch is because it's useless with a smartphone, just displaying the time or at best having a calculator or IR remote build-in. And if you complain that iOS hasn't changed since it's introduction and ditch it, chances are that you don't like a device that hasn't changed a lot in a century.
And that is where Apple fits in.
