Why would you need an mp3 player and camera on your watch. You'd look like spiderman pointing that thing at ppl taking pictures.

I hate to admit this,

But I do one day feel, that men's watches will go the way of the fedora.

Yes, they have been fashion statements and popular for a very long time. But the idea of the wrist equipped, phone, pda, device, just makes sense.

I don't want to give up wearing my time pieces. But if Apple made an Iphone watch that worked awesome, wasn't hard to wear, etc. I would sport one.

I don't think the technology is there yet. But it makes a lot more sense than carrying stuff in your pockets.

Some truth to that except the "fedora" is still an upper-class clothing accessory worn today by people who love to dress.

Barry, are you arguing with me about the popularity of the fedora?
Yes, they are not extinct. Just like some people also wear pocket watches. But I wouldn't exactly call them "fashion forward" or trendy.

They are a look of the past, that was once, very popular and is now, only worn by small groups of people.. Like VAN DUTCH clothing.

Argueing?? No way

True not trendy. But i would call them "fashion forward".
That's because people who love to dress include them
in their wardrobe. That's why when they are worn
they draw attention and get lots of compliments.
