When you grow up, there are many fine mechanical watches to choose from. Some even wind themselves. ;-)

Drawing on recent patent movement in the Apple world, I would hope that when they release the iWatch, it comes with a wireless charging stand that the watch sits on at your bedside.

That would kill three birds with one stone, to my mind.
1. eliminate frequency of “forgetting to charge”
2. allow it to function as bedside alarm clock without running battery down
3. keep it safe

It’s not that much effort, you are correct. But it does make things awkward when you have to make such an obvious gesture to check the time when a casual and often unnoticed glance would work with most other watches. Especially when stuck in a rather long meeting when you have other more pressing things to do.

Not to mention the fact that it almost never fails that the instance you need to know what time it is in a hurry, the iPod Nano has gone to sleep, and you see Apple’s logo instead of the time. It gets very annoying the more often this happens.

Now there’s a blast from the past! I remember wearing one of the first Casio Databank calculator watch to school. I now own one of their Triple Sensir Pathfinder watches. Altitude, barometer, temperature and it has a compass. A regular weather station on your wrist. And it’s battery lasts a good long time too. Much longer than a day. The more recent versions (mine’s a bit dated now), come with solar panels built into the watch.

I am sorry and mean no disrespect but I could not help but laugh when you mention how you had to access time on your watch. I do get your point, using two arms to find the time on your wrist watch but is it really that insurmountable? Raise arm push button with other hand. I just do not find that so difficult. Thanks for making my day

Oh Pshaw Gregory, while you make some interesting points none of them have kept me from adoring my iPod Nano Watch. In fact I think it is the best thing Apple has ever made. My battery life last all day until I get home. It charges very quickly and is ready for next day. The built in radio, photos, music and 18 watch faces make it real special to me. It is small, convenient and I find it easy enough to update pick and choose the music I want to listen to. I usually just put it on shuffle and realize tunes I had not listen to for awhile. I like the cross fade between songs. I was sad to find out Apple stop making this extremely practical appliance and wish they would apply the same practicality to their iPhone (ie a battery that would last all day!) and the MacBookPro with its gargantuan hunger for more RAM. When Apple announced they were going to make a smart watch I thought wait a minute, they already have a smart watch! Or had one.

Fantastic article! I have been a fan of Casio smart WATCHES since the 70′s

Fantastic article! I have been a fan of Casio smart WATCHES since the 80′s. I used to have one with a scheduler and a phone book before anyone even had a cell phone let alone a smart phone. They never caught on, and probably never will. I now use a Casio DB-360 because it has five alarms and displays all the time and date info on its face at one time: day, time, seconds, year, month day. It does exactly what a watch does best and has a 10 year battery.
