"       In a small case next to the main display stage at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, Nissan showed off it&amp;#039;s newest big idea. The NISMO Watch Concept is an automotive take on the rapidly expanding world of smartwatches. This one is designed to monitor all sorts of information on the way you drive, both on the track and on the street, including checking the driver&amp;#039;s heart rate. Nissan&amp;#039;s video also shows the watch giving notifications such as weather alerts and vehicle service reminders (the watches on display at the show were unavailable to demo).  The NISMO watch looks very cool, but we&amp;#039;re a little skeptical if this is really necessary. The thought that a driver would glance at a watch while driving on a track seems questionable, and even checking average fuel economy on a long trip is better done through a car&amp;#039;s existing displays. And with Nissan&amp;#039;s watch, some of the recorded data is shown on the smartphone, which makes us wonder: couldn&amp;#039;t we just skip a step and do all this with a smartphone app?  Any questions about the watch&amp;#039;s superfluous nature haven&amp;#039;t dampened the positive reaction from the show floor. &amp;quot;The biggest problem is people want to buy it right now, and we have to tell them it&amp;#039;s just a concept,&amp;quot; says Dan Bedore, Director of Product Communications for Nissan USA.
