- With the IWATCH coming soon...and the Android watches already out..Moto360 - summer 2014, WHEN should expect a Blackberry Watch?
And why must BlackBerry be last to produce a watch? I trust the answer will be...the best is yet to come...and when it arrives it knocks the sock off its predecessors.
Posted via CB1007-29-14 03:31 PMLike 0 - I think it is too soon for a BlackBerry watch. Look at what happened when BlackBerry entered the tablet business. Another mistake like that would be disastrous right now. BlackBerry needs to concentrate on righting the ship right now and see if they can make the smartphone hardware business profitable before they ever invest valuable resources on entering the wearables market.07-29-14 03:45 PMLike 0
- I would say only when BlackBerry in back in the Black (as a hardware manufacture)....
Then again, if they sell the $800 Passport to a million BlackBerry collectors and they figure out that those same collectors will buy a $500 BlackWatch... profit is profit.07-29-14 03:53 PMLike 0 -
- Apple people may soon have the iWatch. Google people have a bunch of different Google Watches. BlackBerry people have always and will continue to have Rolex, Patek Philippe, Harry Winston, Ulysse Nardin, Porsche Design, Audemars Piguet, Swiss Legend, Invicta, Cartier... need I go on. We just have better style, taste, and an eye for detail that Google and Apple people don't have. That's probably why our productivity features of our devices far exceed those on the competition. All would go so perfectly with a Passport or a Porsche Design P'9983, even a Classic and a Z30. The reason being is BlackBerry is a device and brand synonymous with success, power, money, etc. Thanks to stereotyping and television/movies this is well known. It's seen as the capitalists phone. Well, all those watch brands are synonymous with the same things. Technology is great, but it can certainly ruin many things. We shouldn't let it ruin a classic, and elegant time piece, such as a watch. I'm happy to see BlackBerry not exploring smart watches. They are a device and software maker. It's what they do best. They are smart to leave the watch making up to the professionals.

They appear to be more of a consumer-centric device right now.07-30-14 09:25 PMLike 0

With limited sources, they shouldn't wasting energy to build smartwatch.
Drooling for BlackBerry Passport!07-30-14 10:13 PMLike 0 - I don't want a smart watch, I want a watch that only needs a battery change every couple of years or not at all. I certainly do not want to have to charge my watch every day or even at all.
I know a few people who have Samsung smart watches and seeing them shake their wrists to get the watch to possibly show them the time highlights a key feature I do not want on a watch, complications.
My daily driver watch must just work, and keep working for another 18 years with only another 2 battery changes.
I want my smart phone to be compact and more capable over time, I changed phones every few months or whenever I feel the need to change. My watch is just great the way it is!

I'd rather see BlackBerry update the playbook than to release a smart watch.
Posted via CB1007-31-14 12:22 AMLike 3 - No need. But BlackBerry needs to choose a watch or 2 like the kairos and actually spend money on getting BlackBerry apps to support them.
This will give others incentive to invest in little money to also support BlackBerry.
There are so many brands and os's coming out in the wearable sphere that the competition is feirce, and the little BlackBerry handsets out there will become an interesting chunk of business due to that competition.

I see many over 40 struggling to use their iphones. I see people who drop their phones at the site of a tablet or computer. However, my z30 does it all.

If BlackBerry were to align with a high end watch maker that could design a onyx black watch with gold or silver hands and numbers that to me would be a very smart move.

A good heart rate monitor without the need for a chest strap would be great. I'd also like to wake up in the morning to a gentle vibration on my wrist rather than a jarring alarm. Especially if you can set a range of times to wake up and it can tell when you are in a good sleep stage to be woken up.

How professional would it be if you kept checking your watch during a meeting?
At least with your phone you could disconnect yourself from it for a short time while you conduct business since its not actually tethered to your body, with a "wearable" the compulsion to fidget with it is much greater IMHO.Last edited by djdragon; 07-31-14 at 09:50 AM. Reason: Wrong quote

But in BlackBerry's infinite wisdom they seem to have dropped this as the BB10 Bridge is greatly inferior to the legacy BlackBerry Bridge product.
They could of made this usable on other brands of watches as well.
Thud!!
Ball dropped.
