Apple's grand smartwatch plan will take time

Until around 1900, wristwatches were most popular among women. Men preferred pocket watches. That changed when time-keeping technology improved. Male consumers gradually saw how much quicker it was to glance at their wrists, rather than reach into their pockets, to check the time. Apple made a similar pitch on March 9th at an event in San Francisco heralding the launch of its newest product, the Apple Watch.

They want too much for a watch that's only compatible with iPhones too much for any watch.

Apples business model

what are top of the range PCs, mobile phones, mp3 players and watches selling for? great, lets make one, stick Apple logo on it, and charge double the price and advertise it like its the best thing theyll ever own (until we make the next one a year later that is). if its expensive, its exclusive. and for those that say its not all that, people we conned will defend their purchase and in turn defend us.

It's because Apple products also carry this aura of "status symbol" around them. They always have. What more of a status symbol can you have than a $17,000 watch that only works with a single make of phone?

The only thing I give Apple on some accounts is that they have been pretty good with the "it just works" thing. I've been happy with my iPhone, iPad and iMac and have had very little issue if any with all of them. There is something to be said that I can have my iPad fully charged and in sleep mode for days only to pick it up and see that it only dropped a couple percent - I cannot say that of many of my other rechargeable devices.

I'm personally going to "weather the storm" and hold out for a 3rd or 4th gen Watch to see if (1) it really does become successful, (2) prices become more reasonable, and (3) it has better functionality and battery life.
