Maybe it's because I'm swiss or just a matter of taste, but I don't see me wear some computer watch which I'll have to upgrade every two years or so. It just doesn't compare to a beautiful automatic watch which one can wear for years

Sure... a little more than $299 if you want a bit of quality, but still cheaper than an iPhone 5C. ...and lasting much longer as well, I guess![]()
Yes but that is a nice watch. A nice watch is a classy thing to have. A "smart watch" is about as cool as clipping your phone to your belt.
I don't mean to offend anyone who clips their phone to their belt, my aim is mainly at those who think it makes them look important.
First to market ???? Huh ???
I know Pebble was there before samsung, and I think there were a few others as well. I have been seeing an ad for one on MR for a long long time.
Interesting list of smart watches including one from 2004. http://www.smartwatchnews.org/smartwatch/

Not bad for a product that is practically unusable.
But you're forgetting, Apple will make it both beautiful and functional.
I've got one worth 900$ for every-day wearing and another one worth much more which belonged to my grandfather, bought after WW2. And hopefully, my son will wear it somewhen too.
Except when Apple brings theirs out.... then you'll be all over it telling everyone who will listen that it's the next revolutionary product from Apple.
