Kyoto University said it will prohibit students from wearing or using any type of watch during its entrance exams beginning next year in order to prevent cheating.
The university said the proliferation of smartwatches has made it difficult to determine whether someone is using a watch to communicate with a friend or calculate figures. The ban “is required in order to conduct a fair test,” a university official said.
Wear OS 3 technically isn’t done rolling out yet, but YOLO.
CCG writes- "If you’re looking for a watch to get without spending too much money, get this one. It costs $27.99, and has plenty of features. You’re almost guaranteed to appreciate a lot of the things it can do, and it’ll last you a while as well. I’ve used almost all of the features that it has, and love all of them. Chances are, you will too!"
CCG writes - "All in all, this is an excellent watch for the money. It has many great features and the reminders to move and drink water regularly help me to live a healthier lifestyle. I have few years to go before I need to enable the medicine reminders!"
A sign of the times, certainly.
(EDIT: Pun entirely unintended...)
Didn't read the article but I bet it's because of the smart watches so they won't cheat.
why is this a problem? I thought the Japanese were all about honor.
