UK Universities Ban Watches in Exam Halls Ahead of Apple Watch Release

Looks like some universities in the UK are getting a big jump on the upcoming flood of Smartwatches that will be released this year. Buzzfeed reports that several of the universities in the UK have already established policies on the non-use of smartwatchs in an exam setting, with many more expected to follow suit in the near future.

Students are already asked to place mobile phones in a plastic wallet under their desk, so we adopted the same procedure for watches. Students either don’t wear them to an exam venue, or they remove the watch in the venue and place it in the plastic wallet.
