They aren't phasing out the Apple Watch. It's been anything but a failure. I've only seen more and more Apple Watches popping up around where I live, with even non-geeks getting one. The Apple Watch has the highest stake in the smartwatch market, and it simply can't be a failure with those kind of numbers.If this means they are phasing out the Apple Watch, then, sadly I think it's for the best.
Like Apple Pay, it is clear that it hasn't been the success that Apple would have hoped and expected it to be.
I've gotten a lot of utility out of mine and am seeing Apple Watches on more and more people everywhere I go. The new Watch OS is going to add even more utility and uh...make it snappier.If this means they are phasing out the Apple Watch, then, sadly I think it's for the best.

60% is not a fact. You just made it up.
"A health device for millions of healthy people" has no function.
I want a SS Apple Watch with the White Sports Band![]()

Also, Apple Pay is the most widely used mobile payment platform, and Apple is expanding it to the web on macOS now to grow it even further. It has been successful, just not wildly successful and miles ahead of the competition.
Neither of these two things are a "failure" according to those of us that use these services and also according to the statistics.
Apple Watch 2 - 2mm thinner, plus an all new watch band connector!
I'm not an apple hater. I just think the watch and all its bands of glory are really, really, really stupid.
In fact, analysing the earnings results, they sold about 5 million in the first year. That is a bad failure by Steve Jobs's standards.
Boy, that looks so damn elegant!What's that you say? I'm a jerk

I have seen a couple more and that is because they are selling them at $100 less in salesThey aren't phasing out the Apple Watch. It's been anything but a failure.

Wait, so now people who have the watch are stupid?60% is not a fact. You just made it up.
Wheelchair users might have more practical things to worry about than children's watch straps.
"Fashionable and technology" are mutually exclusive.
"In the future" is anybodies guess and not a fact.
"A health device for millions of healthy people" has no function.
Sleep disorders are not affected a watch.
Daibetes is prevented by not eating so much glop not by handing over your cash to Apple.
"other ailments" is too vague to comment on.
"really, really stupid" is right on the money describing the watch and the deluded who buy it. So in that rather negative respect it is the right product for that particular market.
p.s Just at this moment I do need a wheelchair.
Like it was said multiple times in this forum, Apple was never going to release sales numbers for the Apple Watch even before it was even released into the market.According to the statistics?
Oh yes, those endless statistics that Tim Cook gives us every keynote proclaiming how many millions of Apple Watches were sold.
No. He has given us not a single sales figure. For all we know they have sold 5 million and had returns of 3 million. In fact, analysing the earnings results, they sold about 5 million in the first year. That is a bad failure by Steve Jobs's standards.
Seemed to care enough to let me know you didn't care, congrats.I love my Apple Watch and couldn't give two ***** about your opinion![]()
So people who have the watch are stupid. Really shows the maturity level you're on.60% is not a fact. You just made it up.

Low stock means upcoming refresh! C'mon new watch bands.
Your constant defence of this greedy megacorporation is borderline pathetic. This is an open forum, not a religious cult where only flattery is permitted.
Much hate and fear I sense in you. Ironically, you're the perfect candidate for the Apple Watch and the new breathe app.
There's an Apple fan defending Apple on an Apple fan site and you're surprised by this and you call him "pathetic"?
Yes, how dare Apple, the "greedy megacorporation", try to maximize profits. Making a billion dollars a year should be more than enough and anything they make above that should be given away. The nerve of them to take part in this pure evil called capitalism.
Being the selfless person that you are, I'm sure you're happy with your current income and if offered a raise, you'd politely refuse and ask that it be donated to charity.
If they were phasing out the Apple Watch, they wouldn't be releasing a significantly updated watchOS 3 in September.If this means they are phasing out the Apple Watch, then, sadly I think it's for the best.

Ouch, you sound offended over my opinion. There is nothing groundbreaking about this device.
Fashionable? Yeah, okay. Its a black square on a piece of rubber.
