Good article, I do kind of agree with the final sentiment. A pocket is a better, safer place to put something and as smart phones come to dominate life more and more we will see less people with anything on their wrists.

 

Imho wrist watches will be fine. Look at the boom in vintage watches even as technology sweeps over us. I see a lot of smart watches too but still more wrist watches. And once holotouch (hologram-tech) and nano-chip technology moves in smart phones/smart watches will be obsolete like vcrs and dvd players but people will always feel the need to dress up in their speedies and rolexes.

 

Interesting article. I agree that the smartphone will dominate tech, specifically wearable tech like a smart watch

 

My Apple Watch is an actual LTE phone. But without the iPhone it's not nearly as smart.

 

Well written, well researched article.
