Did Apple do this fashion thing a year too early?

All these models of Apple Watch, and being fashionable - it seems that maybe Apple did this a year too early.

They should have released an Apple Watch this year (just the sport with the rubber bands).... got the kinks out, had everyone buy one for $349-$399, then tweak the Watch OS over the next year....

Then in 2016, they could release 2.0 with all these new fashion band designs, and stainless steel and gold.

They will sell all models, so why not. The internals are the same, so they didn't have to design an entirely different watch. Hell, even the bands are interchangeable.

No, they want this to appeal to as many people as possible. Launching with the fashion part of it kicks it off right. It's too difficult to reinvent a product's image a year after so many people have seen in and made up their minds.

No. They are going to sell just as well as ever, Regardless of literally everything that are conceived to be wrong with the watch.
