    The Babylon 5 Link isn't a smart watch, it's glued to the back of the hand. Totally different.

    You're right.
    Samsung's missed a trick there.
    I'm commenting on an internet forum. Your facts hold no sway over me.

    Now that I think about it, a predator style self destruct sequence should be mandatory on any 'smart' watch.

    If memory serves me the B5 link was also keyed to the owner so no one else could even use it. Nice to see them use one of the Michael O'Hare clips.

    As to the Samsung watch - hope it's better than the Sony one I've got (not bleedin' difficult) so it can actually be used as a plain ole wristwatch without needing to be paired with a phone all the time (and the Sony had a talent for coming unpaired if you so much as looked at it funny).

    Smart watches for dumb consumers! (so says the techno luddite)
