Purely speculation, I agree, and I'm not saying otherwise. No one can predict the future, nor the markets, which are random. Anyone who says otherwise is lying..
But that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on the matter.. And thus far, none of the friends in my inner circle are excited for this product, or plan on purchasing one. Perhaps we are not the target market, but I'm assuming Apple is banking on some in the 25-35 working professional demographic to actually buy the watch. But I don't see it. Maybe strictly for fitness purposes? A few might. But mainstream? Wearing them in the office? I don't see that, do you?
And I don't think the fact that it vibrates on the wrist changes anything. Our phones have vibrated the last 10 years, and everything has been just fine. In fact, the number of times were my phone vibrated and I missed it is very low. Very very low. It's happened, but not very often.. Certainly not enough to to warrant buying a completely new device, and strapping it to my wrist for the world to see. There is a reason so many people don't wear watches anymore. They have become almost unnecessary. Not even discussing the social angle, how the rest of society will view wearing a smart watch, I just don't see enough here that is able to overcome so many obstacles. Obviously you disagree, which is fine. We"ll actually have an answer though eventually on all of this, in time.
