“Ultimate luxury” is how jewelers Mervis Diamond Importers describe their own elitist take on the Apple iWatch, but I think it’s just plain ridiculous. “Ultimate luxury” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The Diamond iWatch is included in this year’s Holiday Gift Guide, another marketing stunt in my opinion, as it won’t be available till […]
3 Reasons Why the iWatch Will Never Happen
To say there’ve been a few rumors about Apple’s first foray into wearable tech would be the biggest understatement since someone said the iPhone was useful. With everyone hoping and wishing for an iWatch, there’s been nothing from Apple on the topic except for a few possible patent applications and some talks with Nike about […]
Should Apple Be Scared of What Came Out of Google I/O?
With WWDC 2014 in the books, Google took some time to shine this week and kicked off their annual GoogleI/O conference with a (very) long keynote address that was at times slightly rambling, but at its core, released some pretty amazing stuff. If you didn’t have time to watch the 3 hour(!!) keynote yesterday, or […]
Why the Health app Signals the Reality of an iWatch
Apple unveiled their new Health application as part of the core of iOS 8 recently at the WWDC 2014 Keynote. This app collects health data from various sensors and sources and displays it clearly for you inside of the app. Apple even showcased these features in a new ad for the iPhone and iOS 8, […]
Does the Death of Nike FuelBand Mean the iWatch is a Go?
Earlier this week Nike laid off nearly the entire team it had working on the Nike+ FuelBand, announcing their departure from the world of wearable tech.

New iWatch Concept Goes Round
We’ve seen quite some creative iWatch concepts, and not too long ago, we featured Todd Hamilton’s iWatch concept, which I said you’ll want to wear – especially if you’re into that fitness band look. Today, I ran into another iWatch concept which takes a different approach. Instead of going sleek, slim, and rectangularish, designer Tomás […]
iWatch Update: Team Now 200-Strong, Plus No FDA Involvement
Will we ever get to hold (or wear) the iWatch? Maybe not as quickly as we want, but recent talk points to the iWatch team expanding to 200 people – even more. That can only mean that Apple is getting serious about finally making the much awaited smartwatch a reality, yeah? Source Mobihealthnews mentions sources […]
Is Apple Trying to Get Fit with Healthbook?
As rumors fly for the iWatch that may never come, an interesting thing has been happening at Apple. Over the past year Apple has been doing some interesting hiring and been involved in some meeting that might result in the deepest health and fitness integration any iOS device has seen yet. Apple may very well […]
iWatch Power Source: Solar Power Or Magnetic Induction?
Smartwatches have come and gone, with some still trying to make it in this discerning market. We’re all still holding our breaths for the iWatch – it’s a wonder we’re not all dead from not breathing, what with Apple taking so long! – but it seems like Apple is getting closer. Just how close, though, […]
The iWatch Concept You’ll Want to Wear
We’ve seen iWatch concepts left and right ever since the idea that Apple would come out with a smartwatch was seeded, but let’s be honest, with Jony Ive in there, we’ll still probably be surprised at the final product. That being said, here’s an iWatch concept that you will wear. Move aside, Pebble Steel, this […]
