    Android smartwatch market is dead unfortunately. Apple Watch is the only real player at the moment, and maybe FitBit, who are facing problems themselves.

                                RagnarLothbrok, 03 Feb 2017apple is innovating as always , that's why I only purchased... morelol, what innovation did apple do that makes them need to patent something ridiculous as "watch charger"? the truth behind the patent system (especially in america) is to kill other competitors who had the same, but better idea than theirs and apple want that idea for themselves or else competitors need to pay to apple for their "patent rights" bs.

                                just think, who in their right mind want to be bothered to charge bunch of devices (phone, tablet, smartwatch, bluetooth headset, etc) everyday? i, for one, one of those people that never wants to charge all my mobile equipments as long as i can get one that no need to be charged.

                                if apple really did an innovation, they should make a smartwatch that no need to be charged, like good old conventional wrist watches! i don't care if u said this article is apple's innovation, but in my dictionary, innovation is where someone do something that makes "impact" in our lives (like how in 2001, sharp introduced world's first camera phone, or ibm simon in 1992 who introduced a "smart phone" with touchscreen, something that later claimed by apple as theirs)

                                so, be a smart human so u can at least differentiate who really make innovation and who claims & sue others so that they can claim it is their innovation!

                                  That sounds rather dangerous, having a charging battery strapped to your flesh.
