    The watch is very hipster looking. I can see it now, people in Pubs glued to these things with their tounges hanging out as send Facebook updates.

    Penny from Inspector Gadget had a computer watch and she is not a hipster.

    Good stuff. Nice to hear there is strong competition in both VR and wearable tech.

    With decent battery life the watch could be a winner. It only needs to do the basics of messaging, calling. You can set it as wifi hotspot and use any tablet/ipod/laptop device to do your browsing.
