Potentially the world's coolest new watch

Smart watches are evolving. After a somewhat inauspicious start and some missteps, manufacturers and designers are getting a better handle on what the market wants. Or what I want, anyway. Have a look at this new wristwatch from a company called Kairos . The Verge is reviewing it, and while it's not on the market yet, the combination of classic, mechanical wristwatch with a smart screen overlay looks phenomenal. The Verge points out Kairos is a start-up. Can they succeed where the big guns have failed?

Great one - I'd never seen that one. Love the idea of a new smart phone - flipphone. I love my Note 3 but do miss the days I could actually get my phone into a pocket. I once had a lovely little Samsung flipphone that was so small I lost it for a couple of days before it eventually turned up in a pocket of pants I'd put back in the drawer. No chance of ever accidentally putting the Note in a drawer: too big and heavy.
