    1) You can fit enough RAM and Storage in something of that size (it's a watch, not a phone).

    2) With a screen of this size you will be hard pressed to open an app (live tiles wouldn't even work due to the resolution).

    3) Good luck with that battery... it would just about boot and be out of juice.

            All these new watches are waste of the money. It gets crappy and classic watches are dissapearing. Its gonna be bad cuz The new technology will destroy our minds in the future.

                Intel also has a chipset for smartwatches and the plus is that it is x86 instead of ARM...
