im really good at guessing a certain amount of time. like i puta totinos in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. usualyl i get off the couch right before the 1 minute timer beeps so i can get the ranch out of the fridge and get a pizza cutter and a plate and then the oven dings.

or like if im mkaing velveeta dip and i turn on the mircowave for 2:30 i know w/o looking at the microwave that its about to be done

you could have a really cool battery indicator on the watch

like your battery is gonna run out at 3:16 so there is a big red line at that point of the clock face

that would be nice because if the indicator is on a time before you would normally go to bed you'll know to throw your crapple watch in the garbage where it belongs

but it allows your boss to live on your wrist and distract you constantly, and also reminds you that you're a fat piece of poo poo.

Only $600!

and then 6 months after launch, apple releases a new one with a different charging cable (lol the iwatch is going to have a charging cable) and stop updating the OS/firmware of your 1st gen watch so you can't even use it.

they produce like two orders of magnitude less power than these loving things run

compared to normal watches, smartwatches are like running a little arc welder on your wrist 24/7

the solution is simple really. inductive coil in your underpants + necklace magnet -> smartwatch gets charged every time you shove your head up your own rear end
