This looks like a nice gadget. So sad about the battery life

I want. I want. I want. When?

How not to scratch this watch is the million dollar question. Watches have got a way to attract bumps and bruises ... mine for sure.

I'd hope it's got Gorilla glass.

But how much does it cost?? Would be cool to control your mobile phone..

I'd imagine under R2k landed if the UK/US price are anything to go by.

See the problem i have with this and tablets is the same.. why oh why are we wasting resources! point is this.. cellphones are fast becoming the personal processing and communication device of many people.. so why do people keep coming up with other sub systems with equally developed processing?

This project looks good on the other hand, it uses epaper and bluetooth leaving the heavy lifting to your phone. After all.. what we need a convenient set of controls and display/small, energy efficient rather than something over the top as a standalone device.

Battery life makes it useless.
