Short-term, I fear you may be right.
Long-term, we'll have chips implanted to tell us the time and where we are. Who's winning XX-Factor, Dancing and jungle-jizz too I expect.

When does a watch stop being a watch?

I don't regard that as being a watch, more some kind of personal electronic device that just so happens to be small enough to wear on the wrist and happen to be able to, amongst many other things, display the time.

If the software and hardware were up to it I could see this kind of thing eventually catching on though.

I like it but it means I couldn't easily change to another watch unless I leave my phone at home or wear two watches. (But I'm not a coke-snorting ex-footballer.)

KITT! Get me out of here, buddy!

Right away, Michael

It's horrid.

In fact I think timepieces will maybe be the one and only thing that remain 'traditional' in the future. Antique curios that only the special wear. The speshal people will however wear the above monstrosity.

Errr, not for me.

Automatic movements are the future...
