Seconds out... Round 2
The Apple Watch is buy most measures a failure yet it sold a good few million.
It has done several things though (IMHO)
1) Shaken up the whole market for totally electronic wearables. No longer are they just restricted to things like the fitbit.
2) Got a whole lot of talking about wearables. Before it was very, very niche. Still a niche in my opinion but far closer to mainstream than before
3) Shaken the traditional watch makers to the core.
By all accounts, the next version will be thinner (it is apple after all...) and more usable.
All I know is that I don't want anything on my wrist including a watch. Not worn one for almost 40 years.
Now if someone repackaged it into something like 'Half-Hunter' format then I might buy one.
One of the people on the office has one. Thinks it is perfect for using Apple Pay on the Tube. That might be a perfect niche for it.
Lets all wait for round 2 and see where this marker is going to go.
