Nobody except geeks wants them. They've been on the market for at least six months and have gained no traction. The Samsung Gear S does it too. . . and is falling flat in the all important desire to own demographic.
I don’t know.
Sure the Apple watch is lightyears ahead of the Linux watches which have standalone phones included.
I very much like the Apple’s style.
However the phones the Apple is up against, are the first generations. They’re undoubtedly making money, and the competitive field is expanding exponentially now.
Apple has the design factor way ahead of the competition. But there are at least two watches I’ve seen advertised which seem to be stand-along phones.
When someone brings the two of those things into one phone, it will literally take off.
I think someone will bring such a phone to market within a year.
Just saying. It would be nice if the Apple watch were to win me over.
I’m paying attention. I’m also sure there are a (bunch) of people out here, also paying attention. Moreso every day.
A phone on a watch is a real answer to the hassle of having to keep track of your phone.
Apple you’re on the right track. But not there yet, for me anyway.
We shall see how this market plays out.
