Ok, so I'm shopping for a new phone and came across this: http://www.sourcinggate.com/watch-phone-c-184.html

whats the deal with watch-phones? They seem like they could be handy, but I've never seen anyone using one.
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
Same deal as with calculator watches.
 
Chunky?

Nerdy?

Personally I don't see the point in things like this.
 
Fad. Skip it for now.
