Back in April, I dropped $230 on a gadget that had me feeling that gadget love again. You’re familiar with the feeling too; the thrill you get walking into a Sharper Image store or thumbing through a Hammacher Schlemmer catalog. It’s that sense that you’re seeing a small glimpse of the future neatly packaged and commoditized for the present.
But as soon as my Apple Watch arrived in the mail, I almost immediately had a new name for it: My Great Regret. A big reason I’d purchased it was for the novel ability to turn my lights off and on with my watch, but in practice, the Phillips Hue light switch app was so slow it was easier to pull my phone out instead. But the worst part was that the watch just felt buggy. I never knew when texts and phone calls I’d get on my phone would actually push to my watch… More at Gizmodo.
I agree.

I haven’t owned a smartphone yet, which I guess is odd, since I’ve been geeking out for years and something like this should be just up my alley. I like watches (not as much as some) and for me when the pda and the mobile phone got successfully combined it was like a dream come true. But, apart from possibly having it vibrate on my wrist to let me know something is up… I feel that would be enough to pull out my phone (when I’m ready) to ponder what wants my attention. For now, my mobile seems like the best way to react to anything that comes in or needs going out.
