I look forward to the specialization of wearables. So far, most wearable computers interact with the users mobile device and only do a little bit of onboard computing. Why not create a mobile device which specializes in providing the computing for wearables?
I imagine that it would be well protected with a big battery. Instead of a touchscreen, I'd give it e-ink like the kindle. Ideally, this device should only have to be charged once a day, and backlights and touchscreens are a pretty big power drain. I might even try to use the AR device and the Watch synchronously to create a typing system, for quick tweets and texts. We have pretty good predictive typing, why not make use of it? Word or letter suggestions could be arrayed around the watch at the stations of the clock, and twisting the hand the watch is on to scroll through suggestions.
