Re: Useful things for a wristjob.
The Apple watch does have a microphone and a speaker. It also has a jog wheel on the side specifically for choosing things without obscuring the screen. And, while not "waterproof" (what does that actually mean?), it is resistant to IPX7. So you can wear it in the rain, while washing your hands, etc., with no problem.
Battery life on something like that is always going to be measured in days with current battery technology and the drain would be too much for a self-winding mechanism, but at least it's reasonably easy to charge.
(I don't have one. Can't see the point for me - I don't like wearing watches much, would lose it, and am already probably too well connected as it is)
