Reuters were told by Swatch that the company sees a smartwatch as an opportunity, although they did not reveal any specific details on any devices.
“The smartwatch is an opportunity for us, whatever happens. If people who never used to wear anything on their wrist start wearing a so-called smartwatch, then we certainly can convince them quickly to try wearing a beautiful watch instead,” Chief Executive Nick Hayek said.
