I heard much of the same reasoning when cell phones first arrived: to wit “wired phones are perfectly functional, most people wouldn’t want to carry a phone around with them all the time (especially a job interview or black-tie event); cell phones are pretty bulky too, I can see breaking one pretty easily in everyday situations.”

When phones first came out, they were pretty bulky. I had one - a "bag" phone in my car. They weren't something you could carry around all day, but not for social or vanity reasons. Using one in public was considered boorish behavior. Watches are an expression of you and part of your wardrobe. The iwatch is limited in design and once the novelty factor wears off, will sit at home on the charger.
