its still rude to look at your watch while talking to someone.

  • You Joke, Rich, but this will be every meeting and meal everywhere!
  • As a smartwatch user, it doesn't even seem that rude. You generally don't get something you need to interact with in such situations. You just glance down, see it can be taken care of later and pay attention. You don't feel your phone vibrate and wonder if it was something important. "I'm da Blur boys!" - Me with 1200 ping.

  • Not when I'm around! I intend to strap one backwards to my eye and use it as an eye patch because then if someone asks what happened to my eye, THEY are the rude one.
