Plenty of people prefer a brick in the pocket to a small thing on the wrist, even before you consider all the technical advantages of the brick — screen, input, battery life, etc. I don’t feel the brick in my pocket, while I feel the small thing on my wrist almost at all times, however comfortable the band is.

The watch prevents me from reading the internet. While still remaining connected to the world through SMS and calls and purpose-apps. The watch allows people to un-nerdify.

Humane (Hu.ma.ne) for example.
