          Interesting stuff.
          Not sure how it would fit into my life, even if I had an iPhone.

            I plan to get one as soon as I return from Europe. The thing that makes me most excited is that it will allow me to stay in continuous contact, checking emails and such, without the distraction of pulling out my iPhone every two minutes. I just want to make sure that I don't miss anything, but I don't want to have my device out and in front of me continuously. I think that it is a great idea. Better updates, better alerting, basic usage in a less intrusive way.

              This will be interesting to see if they are really able to change the SmartWatch landscape to being actually useful for business.

              I have a Pebble and it is great for tracking my exercise and I can see when an email comes in and get those notifications but it's really not that helpful.

                How can you do any productive work when you're checking your e-mail every 2 minutes?

                  I know both Scott and I receive hundreds of emails a day (my daily average is around 500). Having something to just glance at and keep doing what I was would be nice.

                    Of the 500 I get a day I have answer at least 75% of those.

                      Checking email is a huge part of my job. When I was at Citi we averaged 16,000 emails a day. Efficient email handling is an absolute must.

                        Remember that most of my work has been in administration, not engineering. Engineers need to not be interrupted. Admins are interrupt driven.

                          How many admin tasks can you get done in less than 2 minutes? There aren't many I do. So even if I'm just doing admin, I won't be checking e-mail during each task and I reckon at best each task lasts 10 minutes or so. Of course some tasks allow for multi-tasking, but not all. I still don't believe you can be very productive.

                            When I was at Citi, average turn around time was under five minutes. So, nearly all, really. Remember not Windows, so things are much, much faster.

                              I have a lot of that. Anytime that I'm idle even for a second I'm on email or posting on a thread.

                                9 hours in a work day * 60 mins * 60 secs = 32400

                                How can you honestly handle 1 email every 2 seconds?

                                  I have a general 5 minute response time on all emails during business hours as well. That doesn't take into account my pm's and chats from here either.

                                      I have lots of templates for copy pasting to answer emails. I get asked the same 100 questions every day.

                                        And a Keyboard with Macro keys for doing it.
