Apple Watch is damaging Swiss watch business

Interesting thread!

If Apple's watch is making such a dent, then why won't Apple publish the number of units sold? Apple talks about the number phone, MBP, pads etc sold but the watch number remains a guarded secret.

Read below, if you think other AW-want-to-be company will be as successful as AW, if you considered AW is success.
It explain why "Apple is not a fitness company, a luxury company, or a technology company." will make AW more successful than any other wearable smart device, not just smartwatch.

This piece is six months old… and it's still entirely correct. Thanks for the link (and thanks to whoever bumped this thread!), I hadn't seen it before.

"Many," "Quite a few," "A number of," whatever. You're attempting to make the point that luxury watch owners do not wear their AW daily, and this is disputed by a number of members who used to wear Rolex, etc. as a daily driver.

I don't wear my Apple Watch daily. The one time I did recently go on a trip and only had the Apple Watch on me, I came home and started wearing a Rolex of mine and fell in love with it all over again. I was stunned by how beautiful I was finding it to be after having to look at nothing but an Apple Watch for two weeks straight.
