Man, it seems like once a month I’m posting to our little blog about all the cool stuff that’s going on in the world of watches and their design/technological evolution.
Sure, I’m a geek when it comes to adorning my wrist with something sharp and classy looking, that at the same time is functional and keeps me on time, but there is no disputing that what I just found is cool.
To recap though, you may remember that I recently shared that companies are bringing back retro designs or putting things like E-Ink in their watches. Or, you may recall a recent post about the unveiling of something that will help you stay on time for Happy Hour.
Well, the game has changed again, enter the touch screen watch, courtesy of Kenneth Cole. Yeah, touch screen! Awesomeness.
Like an iPod Touch for your wrist, minus mp3 playing.
So you may say, “So what?! It’s just a watch.” Well, that may be true, but it represents more than that in the sense that, as time continues to go by (pun intended), more and more people have just started using their phones as their watches, or just are just giving up on watches all together. In a world of things that do lots of stuff, watches do what they do and they do it well. Make no mistake about it, you used to buy a watch to tell time, but now you get so much more. Companies making watches are figuring out ways to use nice design and great technology to innovate and improve on something that’s basic. I think it’s a smart move and pretty great to see.
Now the problem is what watch to buy next…
