A smart watch is not for everyone. A smart watch is Not for:

- People who do not care about responding to notifications within a reasonable amount of time. You know, those of you out there who get a text message or e-mail and respond 3 hours later if not the next day.

- People who have a smart phone and don't use the "smart" part of their phone.

- People who are generally not "connected". You know who you are. You carry around a smartphone and barely use it during the day and throw it on the night stand when you get home from work and not touch it until the following morning.
 
It's going to take time for more people to get sold on the idea of a watch at all let alone a smartwatch that costs $400+ and needs to be charged nightly. Right now, those facts are all they have to hear to know that it's ridiculous.

BUT, once they see more an more people around them using the watch, enjoying it, and making productive use out of it, many minds will start changing. Not all, but many.

Just like the iPhone.
