Supertest: smartwatches

With the second wave of tech timepieces arriving, is it time to clock on to the trend?

The Dick Tracy-style connected watch is up there with video phones in the annals of tech; as in: everyone said they wanted them for years, then they arrived and we all went, “Meh, whatevs.” Fickle creatures, us tech fans.

However, while the first wave left most of us cold, Sony, Samsung, Pebble and others aren’t disheartened, and have since released their second-gen watches. With fresh, new designs and an even more cutting-edge range of smart features, they’re ready to do battle for your wrist real estate. So, time to upgrade?
