Check your history. I've been watching this conversation for a while. The mere hint that Apple was thinking about a watch sent everyone else in a tizzy and made Samsung hurry to beat them to market. No, they won't be first to the market but it was their idea.
No! You need to check the history.
First off, the smart watch idea has been around since the Dick Tracy cartoons.
Then, actual smart watches were actually developed before even the PC became popular, which all came before the current smartphones and tablets.
Check the history:

The pebble smartwatch had been in development for years, before Google or Apple became involved.
Apple, has been following the leaders for a while, and while they may come up with some very nice products, they’re always trailing the competition. And now, whatever they put out, is of good quality, but, even in that area, the competition has them beat.
But, hey, it’s okay to be an iFanatic. Nobody will notice if we don’t tell the rest of the world.
Notice the log list of smartwatches in development? Apple is not on the list. Apple is now following even the “unknown” or unheard-of companies
