[NEWS] Nissan to make a smartwatch?

[Your Name]

The new fad for "smartwatches" continues and the race to see who can
make the silliest and most pointless model really starts to heat up.
This is from yesterday's New Zealand Herald motoring section ...

Nissan marks time
-------------
Nissan is set to become the first car manufacturer
to create a "smartwatch" designed specifically for
drivers of its cars. The company says its Nismo
concept watch will be the first smartwatch to
connect a driver to the car and will provide drivers
with real-time biometric data.

The watch, which will be on display at the Frankfurt
auto show this week, will allow drivers to monitor
the efficiency of their vehicle with average speed
and fuel consumption readings, access vehicle
telematcis and performance data while on track,
capture biometric data via a heart rate monitor,
connect to the car using a smartphone app and
receive tailored car messages from Nissan.

The Nismo watch will be available in three colours
- black, white, or black and red.

Nissan says its designlook was inspired by "the
Nismo ring and is reflected in a seamless, futuristic,
and ergonomic design". Whatever that may mean.
Still, at least the heart rate monitor will come in
handy to check if your still alive after you drive
off the road because you are constantly checking
your watch.
