(Phys.org) —The smartwatch as a killer form factor in computer wearables is still up for debate. For some consumers, even the greatest-looking designs will not justify the cost of wearing a general-purpose smart device on the wrist, in the name of hands-free connectivity. Josh Ong writing in The Next Web commented that "the geek in me wants to be excited about smartwatches, but I have yet to see a unit that dreams big enough to justify shouting down the pragmatist in me. The allure of getting my phone's notifications on my wrist just doesn't do it for me." What might do something to draw consumers toward the watches, however was made clear on Monday, when Nissan announced its concept device, the Nissan Nismo watch.
