It's 2013 When Will A Mainstream Smartwatch Finally Arrive?

I am writing this article in July of 2013, amidst almost daily updates from around the web of opinions, news and rumors about smartwatches. The real question everyone is trying to answer is "when will a smartwatch (i.e. wearable computing product) that I want to wear be available?" No one has an answer yet. The smartwatch is here. It has been here for decades. We are simply waiting for a modern evolution of what people have loved for 100 years - wearable gadgets.Designers from Apple have e-mailed me with questions about mechanical watches that they want to buy for themselves.

The story is actually kinda sad if you ask me. Richard Garriot became famous as a video game designer. Fame came with the Ultima series of computer RPG games, and most lately, the MMORPG game Tabula Rasa was supposedly interesti

How Do You Wear Your Watch? Esquire Magazine Offers Amusing Wearing Style Explanations

I do admit to scrutinizing the way people wear their watches. I don't always understand people that wear watches too loose. My immediate thought is, "don't they know they can get it sized?" Perhaps people like the loose bracelet feel. You don't often see people who wear watches fitted with a strap wearing them loose.
