I think having the watch just makes the car that just more luxuries and puts the car on above the competition as they are offering the same smart key

I think that's a great idea... and a lot of that has to do with the fact that it's a watch I would actually wear. I wouldn't be surprised if different watch styles were offered to make it a "good idea" in the minds of those with different tastes than my own.

Soon you will be able to talk to your Knight 2000...ahem...Lexus via your watch and tell it to report to you in 5 seconds.

One day people will be implanted with a chip that allows them to unlock the doors of their cars and drive them away.
