The Death Of The Wrist Watch

Writen by Lance Winslow

Fewer and fewer people are wearing wristwatches these days, but why? Well it is simple really because all the PDAs, iPods, Cell Phones and electronic gadgets like GPS, Digital Cameras and laptops all have clock features in them already and therefore a time peace is no longer needed. Why wear something on your wrist that tells time when you already know what time it is when you use one of your electronic devices, turn on your car or go into a building or even cook something in your microwave?

What does this all mean? Well it has some people scared. Who you ask? Well the Swiss People for one or anyone else who makes watches for the wrist, as they simply are no longer needed and the trend naked wrists is growing and that means change in future purchases and signals a change in consumer buying behavior.

The possible future revival of the wristwatch could an all in one combination like Bill Gates demonstrated at the CES and Comdex. A wristwatch, which was also a PDA, Cell Phone with video and music, as well as a GPS and a full enabled email and wireless web device? All on the wrist, could this be something that you might buy? Some personal tech people believe it is and it might all becoming sooner than you think. So, consider all this in 2006.

I always use to wear a watch and in the near future everybody will have a one on their wrist as these will come loaded with a phone. I saw some multifunctional watches at Watch Zone.
