Had to try this one on...

I was at Best Buy and saw this new Gizmo. I would be afraid to even wash my hands with this thing on. Definitely not for me....

From what I understand you need to buy the phone for that thing to work

Interesting.. but not for me. One of my wife's friends has one and likes it.

Meh, keep the computer a best buy. It is like a fine wine vs one of those caffeinated alcoholic drinks that people drink now.

Wow, I sound old.

Quite the evolution of watches you have there. I don't care how advanced the newer watches become, it will never replace my rolex.

One of the broadcasters on one of the Sunday NFL Countdown shows had one on last week. The thing just looked AWFUL with a suit on!
