Wrist action: phone firms bet on 'year of smartwatch'

Wrist action indeed.

Are the millions who see watches as redundant, single function devices that simply replicate their phone's clock function really going to go for a secondary device?

No phone for me and definitely no watches. Not needed.

Wrist action is precisely the correct title for this story. More colloquially, what a load of old t+ss. I can't imagine the awulness of having some clunky smartphone/watch/pad/whatever on my wrist.

"speaking into your wrist like the comic book detective Dick Tracy."

Cripes, we've got too many people speaking into their hands or microphones now with all the smartphones.
