Week in Tech: Smartwatches now more about the watch than the smarts
@ For their most recent smartwatch releases,
manufacturers have been keen to point out just how watch like the devices are .//
©Buzzwords like *traditional,* *classic,* and *watch first* have long replaced all that spin about *revolutionising* everything that ever touched a wrist .//
@ It*s all a far cry from those early calls to overthrow the classic timepiece, which, according to these companies had done little but burden our bodies with mere time telling abilities for well over a century .//
@ Apple*s partnership with© Hermes and the new Huawei Watch, reflect this newfound realisation that people who buy expensive watches generally do so because they enjoy wearing them, not because of their mega smart functionality .//
