No, I understand your point 100%. What I don't understand is why anyone would think Apple would come out with a watch that doesn't at least attempt to be a game changer.
Game changer is in the eye of the beholder, or in Apple's context in the eye of the masses. Time will tell. I don't say Apple might come with something new but I'm not blindfully going to think that Apple will come up with something new. After the iPod, iPad and the iPhone nothing has changed much. The all new mac pro which I probably going to buy for my work is a nice machine but nothing close to be called a game changer. So who knows? Maybe the iWatch will be revolutionary, but I've every reason to remain calm about it and state that time will tell....
Apple's success is in taking existing products and making them useable or practical AND sexy. Why would that formula change with a watch?
No idea, it wasn't me stating that Apple will change there approach. I can only speak on my own experiances and I rather hope to see something intresting instead of looking nice.... I work on computers that need serious power, looking "nice" has really zero meaning for me.
But the iWatch, that is certain IF it comes, will certainly be small and light Like you, most probably, I'm curious what Apple will do here, so far it's just a guessing game.
Also a lot of people seem to be stuck on the past centuries concept of a watch. Perhaps it should be called the iBand instead to get them off that track. Apple isn't going to make a glorified time piece. It's more likely to resemble an iOS remote control center + fitness monitor.

again, that's in the eye of the beholder. Where other shouting praise the lord when looking at the new iOS designs I, as a designer myself, was shocked looking at the new designs that comes along with so many flaws.
Shocked, also because I like the iPhone and I work on Apple products.... on the other hand, I'm happy to see where Apple is taking the new OSX, to a new level where I can work with. In your eyes Apple will surely come up with a ground breaking new type of iWatch, i've been using Apple products to long to go in the same direction, I've seen to many failures with Apple devices so I don't have reasons to believe Apple will succeed in this but I also don't have any reasons to state they will fail.
Time will tell....
One doesn't wear a Rolex to tell time. It's jewelry. I personally do not own a Rolex, or desire one, but they are nice pieces just like Aston Martins are beautiful cars (I wouldn't find own one of those practical either).
Again, this also is in the eye of the beholder....
I would not stereotype and denigrate everyone that wears one as a "poser," any more than I would stereotype someone who uses a Galaxy S or iDevice, a BMW, a Prius, store brand milk, or anything else.
Well same here, but I do stereotype fanboys because they are funny, simple. Apple, Samsung, Nike, the branch doesn't matter in this context, what makes fanboys alike is the dogmatic stand of view in matters like these. Like four years old who believe that their popsinger can only do good
