Like the Tissot. Breitling, still not sure.

When smart watches have all the of the features of a phone, are build like g shocks, can access your front door, have long battery lives, GPS sports trackers, nfc that can facilitate visa payments (and when ALL vendors accept them), I might consider one has a replacement for keys and wallet to wear on the other wrist opposite my mechanical watch (and solo when exercising), but otherwise I doubt it.

It sounded like the Tissot was an afterthought in that video.

Which, let's face it, could be the next generation. Currently all of those techs bar one exist in a practical form which could be shoved into a watch. The battery problem could be kicked into touch by using supercapacitors with half the life again and recharge times of around thirty seconds for a watch. Sure they are still in the lab and graphene tech is just kicking off, but I bet it will not be long before we see graphene capacitors on the market.

I have an electronic Bluetooth door lock for my front door. It sucks.
But anyway, I love my phone, but it is a piece of throwaway tech. Two years and I'll get a new one. I'm not spending thousands on a new watch every two years because it became outdated and no longer syncs to my phone. I don't want my $5-10,000 watch to end up looking like the Motorola Timeport cradle in my mother's old S Class.
