The Wearables Arrive: The Scoop on All the New Smartwatches From Baselworld 2015
According to an old joke, Albert Einstein once said that he wanted to die in Switzerland, not elsewhere, because everything happens 20 years later there. This year, Baselworld proved Einstein wrong: the array of smartwatches on display proved the Swiss can be as up-to-date as anyone. Here's a rundown of some of the smartwatches that debuted, or whose upcoming debut was announced, at this year’s Baselworld watch fair (most, but not all, come from Swiss brands):? Sister brands Fr��d��rique Constant and Alpina both showed analog watches that connect with apps on an Apple or Android phone, enabling the wearer to track his or her physical activity and sleep. The wearer can see data for sleep and activity in a subdial at 6 o'clock, and in more detail, on the phone. The watch, called the Horological Smartwatch, also alerts the wearer when he or she has been sitting too long and needs to get some exercise (more info here).

15400 quality issues?
Hi there,I'm very happy with my 15400, it's a stunner!Having said this, the thing has some issues that worries me. Bought it a month or so ago fresh from the AD. When I set the date only the crown seems to get stuck while turning it. Turning it slightly back and forth will solve it, but still. When I set the time, the second hand will hack, but when pushing the crown towards the case the second hand will not move. Only after i shake the watch a bit. And it runs +15sec/24h.I will wait a while to break it in, it's on rotation so I don't wear it often. I will wear it for the next month or so and wait what happens. If is doesn't get better I will sell it. I'm not going to wait 6 months for a repair on a brand new watch. Besides that, heard enough horror stories about AP's after sales.
New Speedy Pro
I added this to the collection today. I like that it has a vintage look and the design was introduced to the world the same year I was. A birth year watch, brand spanking new.
Patek On Vacation
I heard Patek is on vacation in Switzerland, does anyone know when they resume operations?
