I own several watches. The one I use the most has a self-charging mechanism (no batteries, ever) driving a dead accurate quartz movement in a titanium and gold case with matching t&g strap. It’s very light and unobtrusive, except sometimes at night. The watch face glows in the dark — not the hands and numbers the whole face is luminous. I like it.
But I also like the look of this ‘concept’ of an iWatch.
So, what would it do? Well, if even some of the stuff being talked about (see Cult of Mac “Why the Apple iWatch Will Have These 6 Killer Features” actually appears on offer, I’m interested.
I did notice Nike said they were happy with iOS, exclusively for some of their applications. I use the Nike+ Running app a lot, in conjunction with my phone’s iPod/Music and Downcast (podcasts) app.
I noticed (and appreciate, when walking) the reduced weight of the iPhone 5 vs the iPhone 4 … but having that and an iPod built into your watch? Cool! (I’d also want a camera.)
I wonder if it will happen.
