The people wearing them aren't techie types at all which is why I'd guess the sentiment in tech circles is so negative on the watch's success. I think we're used to seeing our colleagues being the earlier adopters of gadgets like these, but the Apple watch early adopters include a diverse set of non-tech people.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> The people wearing them aren't techie types at all Most of the Apple-using techie types I'm friends with have a Watch. Although as a counterpoint, at $WORK, most of the techie types don't (but also don't use other Apple stuff.)
- ballenf 9y agoI shouldn't have implied adoption is necessarily low in tech circles. What I meant is that I've seen a surprising adoption by non-tech people, making the proportion of the adoption out of the ordinary and harder to jduge using past experience with tech devices.
