Particularly since its a new category **– is it a phone? a watch? a new kind of connected device**? – the Apple Watch is **testing boundaries** and creating new ones.

[![news](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d11b761b970c-200wi "news")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d11b761b970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

A driver in Quebec was fined $120 and given four points on his driving record for switching tracks changing music on his Apple Watch while driving.

H was charged under the section of the Quebec Highway Safety Code that says “no person may, while driving a road vehicle, use a hand-held device that includes a telephone function.”

The driver disputes that his Apple Watch is a hand-held. “It’s on my wrist,” he told [CTV News](http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/quebec-man-fined-120-for-using-apple-watch-while-driving-1.2394358?ref=hypebot.com). “That's where it gets really controversial.”
