Just watched the short trailer for the New Sony Smart Watch. Now I'm in trouble because I do like my gadgets and Watches (I have several Tags)

I was relieved when at the end he says it will sell for about £99 - Phew

£68 - £120 depending where you look.

It looks pretty nifty nice spot Bailey.

My guess is that Sony picked the guy for his extraordinarily thin and nimble fingers for the Demo. Picking a women for the job would have looked too obvious

And that strap looked totally Naff.

Incorporating a small /miniature styus somewhere into the strap - would make sense. And now not only have you got to buy a new mobile every 2/3 years. You got to buy the latest watch. OK enough analysing.

Thanks for that post - The website looks like it's going to take a few hours to explore. So will save it for later

HaHa - No I wouldn't sell them - though I have been known to pawn one once in a while.

I see watches as jewellery or dress accessories - I wouldn't wear a sports Tag with a suit - just as much as i wouldn't go down the pub wearing a gold strap watch with jeans.

I was born to be a Tart

Remember one of my very first watches was a Tag 1000m. Weighed me down somewhat.. Have a couple of F1 watches and James Bond Omega, had a big collection some years ago. Miss those days.

All this Japanese touch screen stuff is a bit of a gimmick, suppose if you have a sony phone may pair well.. Not my cup of tea.. Though I said that about the iPad and iPhone, now half the house is touchscreen this or 3d that..

On the topic of watches, I remember when they were used to tell the time, I don't like all this hi tech stuff at all.

The watch is still a watch it just connects to the phone as well and give you a few more uses. This interview from the Gadget Show 2012 displays how great a device it is. http://www.mobilesplease.co.uk/news/gadget-show/sony-mobile/
