It will be interesting to see what type of marketing/update plan they will be following.
Time will tell but I do not believe people buy new expensive watches every year... yet tech moves very quick... so with the same form factor for the next 2,3,4 years they will be able to cram many more sensors, power, etc into it...
Tear downs will determine if the apple watch part will be easily "popped" out so that people can just upgrade the guts..
From a tech repair point of view it must be easy to replace... especially if someone breaks the glass or something malfunctions...
So in a year or 2 will we just need to order the new "brain" and be able to have any watch/jewler store be able to swap it out just like expensive watch brands that usually require a special tool to open the clam shell casings for batteries or maintenance (see swiss watches)
