Also i know i would be called apple fanboi but would say wait for apple to launch one. Because i feel they will do it only when they get key things like battery and easy of use right.
yeah, apple has to do it properly first so the rest can copy it :D[DOUBLEPOST=1396930892][/DOUBLEPOST]
Recently, the screen of galaxy nexus 9250 died on me. And now as not launched in India, no genuine repair option.
If you can source the screen i think anybody on the street will be able to repair it.

Getting back to your original query. I'm wondering how you managed in the same situation just a year ago when there was no smartwatch option. How did people around the world in the same situation do it.

You see a use here that is so compelling that you're ready to try out something half baked. You figure it will work for that purpose as is.

Its the itch to buy new things. I think sometime later, they would release Android based Underwears and people would buy it too.
Just like the Ipad based potty Trainer. I mean who need to be trained for potty with iPad and why does anyone need iPad during Potty Training? :D

There is a specific use case here, i don't get the feeling its just for the sake of new tech. He's in long meetings and needs to get notifications and be discrete. The value of which is more than the watch.

Wanted to understand how this will work.

Lot of times people buy things as its latest tech. They buy it and then it keeps lieing around.
A smart watch cant be better than a phone. Not sure what purpose a smart watch serves. Till few days back, one would be content wearing the normal watch.
 
That's just it, the term watch isn't accurate here, ok, it has the form factor of one but the use is to get silent alarms.

now what good would a silent alarm be on a normal watch :D
 
I have a feeling smart watch will take some to get wide spread use. Most people who will be early adopters will be buying only because it is new tech. They will try to find use of the product. Cannot blame them. I do it myself sometimes if i "want" to buy something. I try so convince myself i "need" it for so and so reason and try fabricating ways to use it efficiently and justify the purchase later.
Like i hear a lot about iPad Air and how awesome it is and all mumbo jumbo and i own iPad 2, one day i was thinking whether i should buy the Air and i could not find any plausible reason to. Now before buying anything new, i try very very hard to evaluate whether the product is of any use to me or it is just my itch to buy the new one.
Here where i stay in Pune, i have a CRT TV and no media box or anything to play stuff on TV. I was itching to buy WDTV Live or something. But then i have an iPad with TV cable, started using that it works absolutely fine for my needs. Problem solved.
