It's 2013, When Will A Mainstream Smartwatch Finally Arrive?
I am writing this article in July of 2013, amidst almost daily updates from around the web of opinions, news and rumors about smartwatches. The real question everyone is trying to answer is "when will a smartwatch (i.e. wearable computing product) that I want to wear be available?" No one has an answer yet. The smartwatch is here. It has been here for decades. We are simply waiting for a modern evolution of what people have loved for 100 years - wearable gadgets.Designers from Apple have e-mailed me with questions about mechanical watches that they want to buy for themselves. None of them have said, "just you wait until we release what we've been working on." In my opinion the people at Apple who are working on the iWatch aren't part of the typical group of designers and programmers. Rather, Apple is relying on as much outside help as possible. They did this when they released the iPhone and the original iPod, and again as they embark on the design of something not yet proven, they wil

Paperweight.
Thought I'd share something that happened today. Went into my AD to see the watch maker for some business and another gentleman walks in and has a TT black sub circa 2002 with some damage. Scratched crystal and bezel with the lume pip missing. He is asking the watch maker if he can still get a new bezel and he's paranoid because he doesn't want to wet it thinking the lume pip hole in the bezel is going to let water into the watch case As the watch maker is getting the bracelet off to open a work ticket the man mentions to me that it was passed down to/left to him and obviously meant something to him. I thought it looked ok but the watch looked off to me. The crystal seemed to sit higher than the bezel than it should but then again I don't have massive experience with older ones but I did own an 16610LV for a while. He's worried a full service right now will cost too much but just wants a new bezel fair enough. After some chit chat I hear Can't do anything with this, it's a fake the wa
