Gary Kasparov is a former chess champion and frequent critic of Russian aggression, and today he applied his sense of humor to the Apple Watch as he wondered aloud what the Soviet Union version would have been:
Perhaps the next bigger iPhone will just be the first iPad and the watch will be the old iPod with a strap. Good way to move old inventory!

Personally, I think he jacked the idea from me, but I’m a humble man:
Mexy Apple Watch: iPhone + duct tape. Starting at $99.
