I’m at a sports bar atm... about 20 people around me... one older person wearing a watch
people just don’t wear them anymore
iWatch ... sales plummet
DOA
Oh yeah?!? Well, guess what, Mr. Smarty-Pants? I wear a watch and I'm only, er, um, 55 years old...
Oh, never mind!
I was on vacation in Aruba last week. I actually mentioned to my wife how many people were wearing watches. I had not seen that many watches on people, young, old, rich, middle..there were watches all over the place.
If course most of them were so gaudy that you could not see the face or the time because of the bling.
Go figure.
I am with you...I think its not going to hit. But then again, I did not see the iphone as being a success.
I stopped wearing a watch because I could get the time from my phone. Wearing one nowadays is effectively just wearing jewelry.
Apple introduced some new health features into their latest operating system. I suspect this iWatch will be able to take/give biometric data also. Given that one of the main reasons for the success of the original iPhone was the combining of functions that used to require separate devices, they are certainly being consistent with their design philosophy.
Who knows if it’ll be successful. I was wrong in my prediction about the success of the iPod and the iPad. The market will decide.
