Absolutely, yeah.

And while a lot of people using these kinds of things, you know, it's a novelty or a nice to have, there are some for whom the technology could potentially be a game changer.

And one of the most obvious examples of that for smart glasses, say, are people who are blind or visually impaired, because here's the device that they can wear and it will subtly interpret what's around them, make it accessible to them.

You know, it might be as simple as the AI reading a sign or a road sign and telling them what's in front of them or helping them to get around more independently.

And there are plenty of kind of non-creepy applications, you know, being able to live translate something in front of you, getting contextual information, getting directions without having to have your phone out while you're walking around the streets.

Even, you know, the idea of having a camera that will record a nice memory or a nice moment you're having with your child without you having to hold the phone up, getting in between you.

It's a nice idea, but unfortunately, not everyone is going to use the technology for something quite that wholesome.

Yeah, so as you say, a collaboration between two Swiss watch brands, Swatch, which people will know for the relatively cheap, high-colour timepieces, and Audemars Piguet, which are known for extremely expensive high-end watches.

It was a collection of eight different pocket watches called the Royal Pop Collection.

So it's a combination of Swatch's pop art watches and Royal Oak, which is one of AP's iconic collections.

Each one priced at between €385 and €400.

So,

Expensive for a Swatch watch, very cheap though for an AP watch.

And they were made available in 220 Swatch shops around the world, including, as you say, the one on Grafton Street in Dublin on Saturday morning.

And demand was so strong, people were camping out for days in advance to get their hands on some countries, including England.

The shops had to close because crowds were getting out of hand.

There were reports of fights breaking out and at least one arrest as well.

And Swatch, though, did tell BBC News that there had only been issues in 20 of the 220 stores around the world today.

I didn't think it went too badly.

Okay, so those aren't bad odds.
