Yes, it's popular. I'm only responding to the claim that the Apple Watch is "The Future", i.e. as ubiquitous as the smartphone. I just can't picture the majority of any population wearing a watch with the exact same body. That's not how fashion works!
If smart watches are successful, it's far more likely that we'll eventually see a 20-80 Apple/Android split like we do today.

The body is the same, but people just wrap it in different "fashionable" cases? The Watch is the same thing: just get different bands (or even cases, if you're super-individualist.)

- archagon 9y agoWhile that would certainly work for some people, for others it's all about the body. After all, it's the designer's signature and the first thing people usually see. For me, a watch is a very personal thing, and I'd never want to wear a multinational tech company's design on my wrist, unless I needed it for work or exercise.
