Apple was a major player in the smartphone revolution, which caused people to stop wearing watches. Now their big plan is to convince people to start wearing watches again?
My husband an I stopped wearing watches long ago. For one, the time of day is everywhere. Second, failing eyesight requires bigger displays, which we have on our smartphones. So for us, buying and wearing this watch just isn't going to happen.
Pretty much every millennial I know does not wear a watch. I myself stopped wearing one 15 years ago.
Like you, I feel Apple will be swimming upstream against a trend, but then again, they are the tech-and-consumer-savants, so we shall see.
Just like the phone was “more than a phone” ... the watch is “more than a watch” ... :-) ...
Just like the new iPhone the apple watch will have features that the Samsung watch has had for at least a year but apple and the media will act like it is new technology
