British universities ban smart watches to stop cheating

Anyone who has considered cheating in their exams by using a smart watch to help will be in for a nasty surprise at some British universities, as the devices have been banned in several British universities, probably with more to follow.

Unfortunately, smart watches are now being banned by several British universities. City University of London recently talked to tech site Buzzfeed about joining with other universities in a move to outlaw smart watches, basically to thwart the efforts of students who might use the technology to cheat in their exams.

However, that might not be a surprise to many, but the weird thing is that the universities are intending to ban all watches from exams. That means any kind of watch won’t make it past the doors to the exam hall on test day.
