So now that the dust has settled, the whole watch thing has been a dud, right?
I don't own an iWatch and no-one else I know has one.
So that's the end of the whole "watch as the future" thing, right?
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoIf you assume that we are at the end of the future, yes. Or if you believe that (in this area) what has happened is what will continue to happen, also yes.
- alttab 11y agoI'm personally an Android user, so I see the analogy like this: Some android users use homescreen widgets. Some don't. Some people will use the watch, others won't. People were dissapointed because unlike watches, everyone has a smart phone. I have a pebble and I love it. I realize others wouldn't care. A dud, but maybe only to hype or expectations. Personally I find its value add worth any additional trouble, but its not a major part of my existence like my phone is.

- zimpenfish 11y agoIf we're flinging anecdata around: I don't currently own an Apple Watch (but will get a rev2) and I know at least 10 people that do (some have bought more than one for partners, etc.)
