    Brought a smart watch on a whim the other day. Pretty useful on walks as it has a clear stopwatch and pedometer. Various facilities via Bluetooth, unfortunately can't the appropriate app on my ancient smartphone to connect it.

    Get an Android emulator for Windows/Mac and a USB Bluetooth dongle if not already built in (e.g. laptop).
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

      Didn't know there was an Android emulator for Windows. Cheers.

            I have a Huawei smsrtwatch which is pretty nice, the main comments I get are shock that it's a smartwatch, and not a traditional one.

            Google Home is awesome too. Saying "hey google, goodnight" before you go to sleep and watching your lamp and tv turn off is pretty awesome. As is "hey google, play suits on netflix" when the kids are in bed.

            Next buy I reckon will be a smart coffee machine, "hey google, make me a latte" would be nice.

                    Battery power pack, you can have all the gadgets you want but if they run out of power when out and about they are just paperweights, I have an Anker and it's rock solid

                    Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

                      If it's 'internet of things' ready don't be surprised one morning if it holds you to ransom offering only Nescafe Original crud () until you give it some bitcoins.
