Smart watches

Anyone bought one yet?

A simple way to text and read emails and no one is any the wiser!!

Or, girl friend wants one. God knows why..

Any hints? around 100 squid or so? Pebble, LG, Sony..

A simple way to text? How can a one-inch square screen be an easy way to text? Harks back to the days of the Philips U phone of 1998.

Really, really cannot understand what the use is for one of these. Just get a nice watch instead.

I follow a lot of watchblogs (proves there's a website for just about everyone) 'cause I'm a watch-nerd. I don't own a smart-watch, but these reviews might help...

i see these gadgets as a con of the highest order.

Smartphone- does everything
Tablet- Everything but call
watch- crap for half the things and doesnt call

all the same price or not much of a difference anyway besides brand new.
