Welcome to the ring of Silicon Valley, where cutting-edge technology is constantly fighting to reign supreme over all else. A new contestant to arise out of the bleak pits of obscurity reveals itself in all its glory to be the smart watch. In the top right corner, we have the Pebble watch, known for its Kickstarter origins and practicality, and in the bottom left, we have the Apple watch, flaunting its snazzy Apple logo and costly price tag. The fight of the century is upon us, and let’s hope it’s better than the Pacquiao-Mayweather fiasco. v
