I think the watch is more likely to be a game-changer than an Apple-produced television set. Apple needs to stick with the set-top box model, but just upgrade the darn thing (including for 4k) and re-do the UI to make it easier for people with large libraries to manage.

Yes, it has changed Pebble's game, as it offers an iPhone compatible watch that does almost all of the functionality of the Apple Watch, requires charging only once a week, and is a third of the price.

You realize this is the same hyperbolic negativity that came with the iPad launch, don’t you? Remind me how that went?

Aside from payments, Siri, the heart monitor, and the color screen, sure.

and is a third of the price.

$250 x 3 = $350? Must be that Common Core math I've been hearing about.
