Just like the iPhone was for an extremely limited audience, right?
I tried out an Apple Watch. The market for watches just got completely redefined, just like phones did.

************************

No , the market for watches is unchanged. The market for the functional equivalent of a bluetooth remote control for your iPhone has emerged... IT's NOT A WATCH AT ALL , IT's AN ACCESSORY FOR THE iPhone ... NOTHING MORE My prediction is that this non-watch will never perform it's stated function , being a watch , with any success... Face it ... My Seiko tells time perfectly and uses a single $0.99 battery every 5 years or so. The iWatch fails with a dead battery every stinking day. How is that an advancement? It's display is too small to make use of ANY application that you may be able to execute... unless you make the "watch" "phone" sized that will always be the case... This is a FAIL , Apple has jumped the shark with their foray into the jewelry business. I can get a Rolex priced gold band... Can I get it bedazzled? Will it ever be able to tell the time better and with less fuss than your typical $5 Chinese watch from Walmart?
