Almost every tech enthusiasts all over the world greeted the news of wearable computers with great excitement and extra happy feelings. I was very much concerned about privacy though, that is when google published the very first picture of their glass (see: how google glass works) , there were also many mixed reaction from I.T providers over the news of apple’s iWatch.
Today’s focus is specifically on Smart Watches that came to the scene with lots of promises but has failed to deliver much of that considering the hype surrounding the prices of these devices.
Smart Watches as defined by wikipedia is a computerized wristwatch with functionality that is enhanced beyond timekeeping, and is often comparable to a personal digital assistant (PDA) device. Smart watches can basically perform fundamental tasks such as calculations, translations, game-playing and even advanced functions such as the ability to run applications [source].

I am not a fan of smart watches…
So many persons that I know shares the same opinion with you buddy
Well, I must admit, when I first saw a Smartwatch I thought: this is just too ugly to wear. And too big. And probably too heavy. That being said, is anything really that important anyway? We got along for over 5,000 years without them! (actually when people come into our shop and they’re on their phone or they found us on google, I always ask What did we do before cell phones? and no one has an answer!!). I can absolutely guarantee I will not wear a Smartwatch.
