Smart Watches

Not sure why I would need to look at my wrist to find out that its sunny/pissing down with rain or just flipping cold.
If I want any of that info I can stand on my nearest door step and look up...

It's just one more distraction getting in the way of real interaction.

Get with it Grandad!

If thats the case why have weather forecasts!

I can see them useful when you get a text or email, quick check on the watch to see who its from to decide if you need to read it or not, but then "dumb" watches can do that too

I am a bit old fashioned in that if I book a meeting with you, as I walk into the meeting my phone gets switched off or put on silent mode and I pay you the respect of my attention while you talk to me. I don't care who calls me while i am in that meeting. They join the back of my queue. There are far too many distractions these days.

I get fed up these days when I have a meeting and half the teams noses are stuck in their mobile/ipad/laptop...

The Samsung thing is a great example of what Samsung come up with when they don't have a similar Apple product to copy: "Tell you what, let's make a last-generation-but-one iPod Nano with a strap!"
