Hi As to why I want one: I suppose my main reason is that I just want to play, see what it can do or rather, what it will be like to use it. Also I understand that it will communicate with my phone anywhere in the house over the WIFI; I can’t do this with my bluetooth earpiece, my house is slightly too long I think.
I used to wear a talking watch until it broke and don’t really miss it but if it will be possible to get the time on it accessibly this will be cool. It’ll be good to wear a watch which is water resistant too: not having to quickly remove it should I get caught in the rain and not having to worry when washing my hands. Above all though, I confess to being excited over the prospect of such a device which as a blind person it appears I’ll be able to use, at least to some degree; how much we’ll be able to use still remains to be seen and I can hardly wait until those early adopters have tried it and let the rest of us know their findings.
