One of the big selling points of a smart watch is that it's supposed to free you from constantly checking your phone, but many people inevitably have to reach for their phones because they need to respond to the notifications that appear on the watch. Minuum has devised a way to keep a phone in a pocket or purse a little longer because it built a keyboard for the Samsung Galaxy Gear. Look at the video below to see how it operates.
I'm not so sure if I would prefer to use this set-up. The whole time I watched this video, I couldn't help but think that if I could have taken my phone out and entered the same text show on-screen in half the time it took to use the keyboard. Perhaps Minuum is just using this as an opportunity to showcase the simplicity of its keyboard interface, which is designed to free up more screen space and is also available for Android smartphones and tablets, but I'm not sure smart watch typing is my future.
