I can certainly see the end of the fit-bits and other dedicated wrist heath monitors. The Apple watch is going to put them right out of business. Why do people wear regular watches anymore? Status? I used to wear a digital watch back when it was cool. That lasted what, a whole fifteen minutes. Then switched to a pocket watch. Now with every phone and public device on the planet having a time display there's no need to carry one around.

I've never worn a watch. My mom says it's because some kid made fun of my Star Wars watch in kindergarten. That being said, I am planning on buying an iWatch when it comes out. My wife has a Fitbit and likes it, but I am looking for something that is more connected with my phone. If I had an Android or whatever I would have whatever is compatible with them. Sometimes being stuck with a particular brand sucks. Anyway, the idea of mixing and matching watch faces to match my outfits sounds geekishly fun.

I think I stopped wearing a watch - Jesus, has it been that long - 30 years ago, literally back in 1993-1994, when I started wearing a pager. Pagers have a clock on them too, just like cell phones. About 1998 or so, I got my first cell phone, and since then I've not worn a watch. I sometimes carry one because I can hang a cheap $1 watch on my badge holder / wallet / keychain because I can read it faster than going into the pouch for my cell phone.
Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
