Apple Said to Have Team Developing Wristwatch Computer

Apple’s James Foster, senior director of engineering, and Achim Pantfoerder, another manager, are part of the efforts to introduce a wristwatch-style computer, according to the people. Apple has worked on wearable devices for tracking fitness in the past and never brought them to market, said one of the people.

Creating a watch involves unique challenges, particularly managing power demands so that the battery doesn’t need to be recharged every day. Google Inc. has been working on eyeglass- embedded computers and plans to introduce them in 2014.
