Oh, so I'm uncivilized since I don't wear a watch? Thanks
Would you really go to a cocktail or dinner party w/o a dress watch? Or a high level business meeting. Even a $99 Fossil? I don't go to nice functions, or important ones, and see anyone with a naked wrist unless they are a complete boor. Usually those types aren't appropriately dressed in other areas too thought. Even my 19 y.o. nephew who previously had no use for a watch figured out you need one for frat semis, formals, etc. Some people don't wear on a daily occasion, but, are a must for special ones. That's all I'm saying.
Really? I actually had thought about this a long time ago. But I didn't patent it ( i had no plans to actually manufacture something like this in the short term since I'm too busy with my day job ).
Too bad I didn't cause I could have made some money of this now knowing Apple is having the same ideas.

I probably have purchased and owned more apple products than you. That's what makes your statement funny.
If I hate apple why would I own their products? Or is it because I recognize good products and don't give preeminence or loyalty to any company. And call it as it is.
UnLike most people, who favor particular companies and let their personal feelings cloud their judgment.
Smh. People need to wake up and smell the coffee.

You are. How is he wasting his life by posting something that shows this idea has already been thought of? Maybe you should be the one looking in the mirror.
That was his point... if the user's wrist is small, they won't be able to see as much unless they scroll.
This 2011 patent application looks like a designer parent found an old band and thought, aha!
Flex bracelet phones are not a new idea, of course.

Width of one inch?I want one with a width of 4 inches. Screw Apple with their "easy to strap on" marketing crap. The iWatch 5 is a hugely underwhelming update.

*Sigh*. Another person who thinks that they know what will come up on a rumoured device, and judging it purely based on what they think

obvious
it seems quite obvious that if you extrapolate, the iPhone becoming thinner and longer will eventually result in a slap bracelet. duh. i'd guess we're looking at about iPhone 12.

I have not worn a watch in over twenty years. Granted, I would not voluntarily go to a cocktail or dinner party.
As for business meetings, we dress in golf shirts and jeans/slacks (business casual) where I work and I am part owner of the company. You caught me... commando.
I am 47 years old and still can't tie a tie. I win.
I agree with this completely. I would be embarrassed to go into a meeting with this (rumored) watch on. A lot of people I work/have worked with wear watches to display social status. I guess it would be okay if more than just one person was wearing it, but if someone came into one of my meetings wearing this...I would think they are cheap. I find it cheap even when someone wears an LED watch, GShock, or whatever. If Apple releases one in the $800+ range (and reasons to justify that price range), I might consider taking a look at it if I like the aesthetics of it. This is just me though, and I am pretty weird.
