Maybe so Jerome...but think about how mechanical you already are, meticulously tweaking & upgrading your HiFi fettish in the pursuit of the unobtainium!

I hope we can soon have the good fortune of tweaking ourselves in the pursuit of improving our degenerating quality of existence so that we may enjoy our HiFi longer!

I'm not going to trade my Jaeger for a Sony ... Nor my Persol for a Google ...

For wearable tech to be successful, it has to be hidden and discrete. I believe it will be integrated directly into our clothes

Steve,

I am not mechanical when I'm tweaking my Hifi. I'm plain crazy !
I do not think that we as humans are "tweakable".
I do not need a watch to tell me what I can eat or drink or do. I already have my wife for that.

It won't be long before we will have a smart watch that tells us how much time we have left. That would be a heck of a motivator to get things done......or not. That last 30 days would probably be darn hectic. .

Maybe in a 103 years time, the world will be trading time like the movie "In Time".

I would prefer that my expiration date remain a mystery....

  • Only 123 grams in weight
  • Water resistant (IP57)
  • NFC enabled for easy connection
  • 3-4 day battery life
  • Aluminium body and silicon wristband
Those watches look awful . I'd rather wear a real mechanical timepiece and use my iPhone for the other stuff.

So every 3-4 days I'd have to recharge my watch! Sony needs to get togeather with Citizen and their Eco-Drive.
