Yeah, ok, i meant more for the younger generation... i'm aware that there are more older people who wear watches. no disrespect.
about smart watches, i think that they are still in their diapers. i don't think that most people who want to wear a watch would want to be bothered charging a watch so frequently, they would just buy a regular watch with battery lasting for months - more reliable and could cost less then a smartwatch. i used to have casio watches when i was a teenager and replacing the battery was a rare thing.
@MyP910
I'm aware of the benefits and sounds like you are making a good use of it.
i think that this is more subjective thing. personally, if i will buy a watch right now i would buy regular watch and wait for the smart watches to develop more, especially in battery consumption. smartwatch 3?

The discussion was if smart-watches would fit in the rumour thread.
As they are something like a remote control of your phone, I think they do.
For discussing it's usability you'd better go to the related thread. Like
Sony SW2.

Sony needs to use this in the 2014 flagship
or something similar.
Intel to make quad-core 64-bit ARM chip
On Tuesday, Altera announced that its Stratix 10 system-on-a-chip (SoC) will incorporate a "high-performance, quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor."
That chip will be manufactured for Altera by Intel on its most advanced 14-nanometer manufacturing process. Current Intel chips on the market, such as its Haswell processor, are made on a 22-nanometer process. Generally, the smaller the geometries, the more advanced the process.

WOW.... you're statement is just so false - and shows how little you know of demographics.
Personally, after not owning a watch for 13yrs I've recently purchased a classy Swatch model - basic Chronograph and it's VERY sharp, matches my skin tone and dress attire.
1. Demographics show in the western world youth under 25 don't and haven't owned a watch of any kind (since being a toddler) - new generation.
2. Those older than 30 roughly half in the western world own a watch and have for many years. The majority of which will continue to by them.
3. Those that have professional positions in large corporations - having an office job own a watch. Majority I'll bet that wear dress clothes do.
OF course charging a watch doesn't make much sense today - even in the age of the consumer smartphones - however the fact of purchasing a specific watch battery for your particular model is just as assinine as well. Ever half to look for a watch battery that matches voltage and size and shape? Arrgh!!
I'm even willing to bet those youth - 16-30 in both China and Japan DO actually own a watch (and it's not a smartwatch either for more than say 5%).
Owning a watch today, is like owning a proper pair of dress shoes ... it shows class, demeanor, and character.
I don't agree with you at all, what demographic? And where on earth did you get those figures from? People in professional positions have watches? lol. No, anyone and everyone can have a watch, their is no demographic involved. Personally I would love an Omega Dark Side of the Moon but seeing as that's £6000 it isn't going to happen! And people get brought watches as presents.
But as for smart watches, they can be included in this thread I feel however I also think any rumours relating to them will be very thin on the ground as Sony have launched two now in the last two years. I was personally interested in the Qualcomm Toq but that isn't coming to the UK, so next up is to see if Google make a Nexus watch, but it needs to ditch the cameras and have a battery life of a week ish.

Is 10 million up on last year Q3?
Are we expecting any other devices before Christmas?
To the watch debate, smartwatches and regular watches are completely different types of products aimed at completely different people. The difference is much larger than say a smartphone compared to a feature phone. The majority of regular watch users, as Supa_Fly states, are wearing watches out of habit or social status. Smartwatches simply will not appeal to the majority of those users because they are relatively cheap (so have no status factor) and are inconvenient (so aren't suitable for habitual watch wearers). It seems the argument about watches is like one person "but this orange IS and orange" and the other person saying "but this pear IS a pear" and both repeating the same line at each other with increased volume in the hope that suddenly all the fruit are the same. Watches and smartwatches do different things and have very little overlap in functionality, they are for different people, in different situations, with different objectives in life, broadly speaking.
What would be interesting is if Sony teamed up with a reputable 'classy' watch maker to make a time piece with unobstrusive smart functonality. Something that looks like a classy watch you could wear to a black tie event (and carried a reputable watch makers name) but also could flick through texts, dismiss calls and remote detonate the bomb you planted in the evil layer of your arch enemy. It'd be perfect for the next Bond movie.
IN MY OPINION, smartwatches do belong in this thread as they are coming from Sony with Xperia branding and this is an Xperia rumours thread (at least mostly rumours).
