GOOGLE PLANS TO release a luxury smartwatch and it has teamed up with one of the world’s top watchmakers to make this a reality.
Tag Heuer, one of the most prominent luxury watchmakers in the world, will work with Google and Intel to create a luxury Android Wear device. The smartwatch will be released this year although no date has been provided yet.
The partnership, which was announced at the luxury watch show Baselworld in Switzerland, is expected to be the first of many as Google continues to push its smartwatch platform.
No details were shared about how the watch would look – instead, the announcement focused on the partnership between the three companies – but Google’s Director of Engineering for Android Wear David Singleton said the partnership would help “bring a unique blend of emotion and innovation to the luxury market”.
The announcement comes shortly after Apple revealed the final details for its own smartwatch. It will release three versions of Apple Watch. The price of the entry level version, Apple Watch Sport, will start at $349 while the luxury version, Apple Watch Edition, will start at $10,000 and go up as far as $17,000.
Apple Watch will be launched in nine countries on 24th April including the US and UK. No release date for Ireland has been provided yet.
Roughly 720,000 smartwatches powered by Android Wear were shipped in 2014, according to market research firm Canalys. Motorola was said to be the clear leader in the field with its device, the Moto 360, but other competitors have entered the market.
Huawei recently announced its own smartwatch that takes inspiration from luxury watches while Pebble, which originally started off as a Kickstarter project in 2012, announced its latest version Pebble Time last month. It managed to raise €1 million in half an hour and raised €17.8 million with eight days to go.
Can’t stand the tagline ‘don’t cook, just eat’. Cooking is being looked down upon when it’s much cheaper, tastier and better for you. People need to be educated about cooking from a young age.
You work hard, you play hard…sometimes you wanna just eat! No guilt necessary!
I love cooking, but I also love justeat.
I really don’t think a website service or a tagline is going to make much difference to lazy unmotivated fatties who can’t be bothered cooking.
Isn’t technology fantastic,if you touch your phone in the right place a pizza will arrive at your front door.
They take 25 percent and dont pay for two months. Takeaway owners are leaving them in large nunbers. This is more rubbish concealed advertising by the journal and a paid poster above.
They take 11%
Just back for mc Sh”t in maynooth. Tried one of those new quarter pounder burgers. Horrific is all I can say. Should have brought it back in,but like most irish people I just said I won’t be coming here again.
Anyone else notice this new thing where eating copious amounts of fast food is seen as “manly” and a thing of respect? It seems to be common in young males, such as college students, etc.
There is nothing manly about eating bacon sandwiches everyday or ordering takeaway food more than once a week. In fact, it’s usually just overweight nerds looking for quick release endorphins.
Not to mention if you indulge in food like this often, you are gluttonous and therefore by default, evil.
Someone get this fella a snickers
Take a bow David – that was a classic
I hate everything and everyone too.
Can I get some green thumbs, please?
Starving

Pig food
You can’t order through here Padraig , you need to download the Just Eat app and search for Pig Food, best of luck .
You’re funny.
Haha paulie well done on that one
As former Just-Eat.ie MD, I am not surprised by these results in Ireland. I left in 2011, but as of May this year I am launching a rival http://www.Marvin.ie which will be fairer to both restaurants and customers. Restaurants will only be charged 7% instead of 12% and consumers can earn FREE meals based on a coffee-shop loyalty reward system. I am here to compete and I would love to show Just-Eat that they are not untouchable.
*Like a coffee shop loyalty reward system
Best of luck!
Any app for this or just a website
