Remember when watches were bought in order to tell what time it is? Yes, I can hardly remember it myself.

Now we can find watches with so many different properties that you have to think hard as to what its main purpose is. Take the Crossbow smartwatch, for example.

Priced at $1.200 / €897, this smartwatch not only acts as a notification hub when connected to your smartphone, but it also has a 41 MP camera with ring flash and a high-resolution microphone.

And with environmental sensors, it can record details such as altitude, depth, GPS position, temperature and so on, so you can be sure that you'll know just how you were feeling when that particular photo was taken.

Best part is, the watch connects automatically to your phone no matter if you have Android, Windows Phone 8 or iOS as the operating system running on your smartphone. By the way, is it me or have all gadgets gotten “smart,” all of the sudden?
