> Why don't people threat it just like a regular nice watch like Fossil, Citizen or Seiko ? Or even if they want like a Tag Heuer (for the gold model). Maybe because AppleWatch will be worth little as soon as AppleWatch 2 is released. It happened with iPhone 1 and iPad 1 too. The second generation was so much more powerful (hardware specs). iPad 2 is still supported, whereas iPad 1 cannot even play HD videos and is stuck with iOS 5. We can assume AppleWatch 2 will have a far better hardware and can run apps in a better way while consuming less battery, so that the battery will last longer. Traditional mechanical watches will work for many decades with some love and care, some of them are of very high precision and quality and already hundreds of years old. The next problem is, I don't need a smartphone and a watch. Ideally I would want one device, a smart watch that can do everything incl. cell modem and last for a few days and be as small and lightweight as a traditional mechanical watch. We all know that this will take another few years. So for now I am happy with a smartphone and don't use a watch at all.
