For quite some time I have wondered why every smart watch released or imagined looked like a watch. Is it because we keep referring to them as 'Smart watches'?
It doesn't need to be round or square, we need to move away from the idea of it simply being a digital replacement of what has come before. Imagine what could be rather than what is.
If we were to call them say, 'connected utility bands that also tell the time' would they look vastly different and actually give us something new?
Surely we should be looking at something more like a wrist band, a kind of Fuel Band on steroids. It can show me more than just the time before I have to swipe. The battery MUST last for more than a day, ideally powered by our daily activity.
