If anything is going to replace a smart phone, it&#x27;s something without the need to carry a screen, yet still let the user witness an easily readable and interactable experience.<p>Plus, I can&#x27;t stand scraping a watch on my desk while at work. My phone is too big to properly fit in my pocket while I sit at my desk, so it&#x27;s not on my body either.

&quot;...Timex unveiled Wednesday its new smartwatch..&quot;<p>Never mind the recent &quot;theatre&quot; vs &quot;theater&quot; debate. At what stage did the mangled syntax above become standard &#x27;Merkin&#x27; English?<p>Timex&#x27;s new smartwatch is called &quot;Wednesday&quot;?

In a market where phone screens are getting larger and larger, a watch will replace phones? I&#x27;m going to say that&#x27;s unlikely.
