Not surprised at all, but from completely the opposite angle. I have the 1st gen Watch. Love it. Only real complaint was the price - especially as I had to pay the british price because it wasn't on sale here (yet?)
But I wasn't expecting sales of the new models to go well either. There hasn't been enough iteration to provide a compelling upgrade for current owners - or a clear enough 'sell' to make a mote of difference to anyone who wasn't convinced by the first models.
I don't think it's failing, or that it's going to fail. But I simply don't see it fitting this release cadence. Outside of a very compelling reason to upgrade, I can't see myself upgrading my watch more often than, e.g., a laptop. If I get less than 5 years out of it, I'll be disappointed.
I'll be interested to see where it goes from here. It's far, far too early to rely on churn - they really need something that'll convince people who aren't already convinced. And they simply don't have that yet.
