Sony Unveils New Calling-Capable SmartBand Talk, Android Wear SmartWatch 3 and Lens-style cameras

[Tech198]

why would u need a microphone on a watch ? Hopefully not for talking, that's what Bluetooth is for.

Unless Sony is going for the Macgyver look this year.

I can't wait till Apple does this too. Then we'll see everyone walking round town with their arm up to their ear..

after 2 hours u may need to take a break..

This is a new one on me. Can you define pls?

Sure, it's similar to a dickwad, but without the wings.

That Jack Williams phone looks like an oversized Casio of smartphones.

I liked my Casio watches back in the 1980s. Some Casio models were practical, functional, reliable and pleasantly styled.

In that decade I became aware of – and scornful of – a growing culture of clock-watching, so I removed the minute and second hands from one of my wristwatches. The object: simplicity, and the simplicity was to maintain a stress-free life; by observing an hour hand alone, I might not leave everything until the last minute, or later. I defeated the object by inadvertently looking at the minute (that particular Casio had a dual display – a small LCD below the sweeping hands)

I appreciate simplicity and minimalism but, like any normal person, I can also enjoy complexity and clutter. And clutter can be a mixture of good and bad taste. Have a laugh at my tastes:



– I think that the eight screws are bad taste – the screws alone are unnecessarily showy
