Fukushima nuclear disaster. A few years has passed and lool at the after effect. Strange mutant plants growing all over Fukushima. Conjoined flowers, multi-stack attached tomatoes, earless rabbit, oranges is half green and orange, double stalked mushroom.

These smartwatches are still incomparable to traditional & simple watches (that includes Casio watches). I'd go for a smartphone but not a smartwatch.

However, if you use nuclear, in case it explodes all, all your family or neighbour will die too.

Very probable. I hope that happened in my lifetime. VR and AR already did. But of course. The battery is always the problem. Why nobody out there ever develop a super small battery that last for century? We need that kind of tech now.

And yes, classical watches might well end up as for feinschmeckers only, if/when they are able to make elegant smartwatches with good specs - and I will be very surprised if that does not happen within ten years - unless something completely new pops up that makes smartwatches obsolete before they ever get good.

That would be a real breakthrough for the smartwatch industry. Then again, real watch industry will adversely affected if they ever invented anything like that.

All the über fancy health stuff, I for one would be more than happy NOT to have to carry around extra weight and waste battery for. So if this could offer longer stamina for the thickness - yes please.
That the monochrome and the huge bezels makes it a no go for me too, is another story.
As I have said so often, the technology to make a good smartwatch simply isn't available (yet).
It will require a leap in battery and/or display technology. (Or some yet to be invented efficient bio-charging/powering taking the power from us, similar to what 'kinetic' mechanical watches does today)
For now they ALL have to do HUGE compromises, usually in size, display, capabilities and/or stamina. (Or the form-factor making them more like bracelets to make room for the batteries)
But I'm sure that within a few years there will be smartwatches that offers an always on full colour display, a bunch of features and last at the least a week on a charge. By then we will laugh of all the current initial attempts as we do on the (literally!) brick sized first phones.

Or you could get a Bluetooth enabled Casio G-Shock G'Mix and have all that and music controls in a package with a 2 year battery... Not to mention the almost indestructible build quality...

i'll rather have blings on my wrist than to have a a so called smart watch that only pushes notifications. I can always check my phone when it vibes or beep.

It just a simple digital watch that connect to phone and its one and only feature is to display notification. I won't call that a smartwatch. It just a feature watch. Just like feature phone.
