A few years ago I had a desire for a phone on a watch. Now, many years later, one finally arrives, the LG GD910.
Why did I want one? Not enough pockets.
Back in the day you could get away with your front door key and a tenner. These days I’ve got loads of keys, a wallet packed with plastic (not credit cards, bloody loyalty cards), a massive iPhone, shades, tissues, sunblock, Valium, anti-bacterial hand-gel, Wuther’s Originals and a hat.
I stopped wearing a watch years ago, around the time mobile phones became ubiquitous, as I realised you’ve always got the time nearby. And because I fiddle like mad with anything that’s not screwed down, fiddling with my watch in a job interview / meeting / date wasn’t a great impression I realised.
So I thought it would be perfect to have a phone on a watch. No need to put it in a pocket. I don’t make many phone calls, but text a lot. I could text away on a watchphone / phonewatch / watch-de-phone, and have one less thing to carry. It would always be there for when I did need to make a call.
Then, I could just have the watch, a key around my neck on a string, a tenner in my back pocket (or a piece of plastic) and the male pocket bulges would be solved. Freedom again!
But, sorry LG, you’re about a decade too late. Now I use my iPhone for the internet WAY more than as a phone, or for texting. So I now carry a smartphone for being smart, not for use as a phone.
Where did I put my man-bag?
