Apple watch is the ugliest possible watch to wear if you want to wear it as a fashion accessory, non-smart watches are fashion accessories. Apple Watch is just less ugly than most of the other smartwatches, but it's still ugly as a fashion accessory

But even if I were to agree, it also happens to be the best looking "smart" watch on the market by quite a wide margin, by far not the ugliest looking watch overall, and the only one that doesn't scream "I'm a computer" at you. You don't have to run faster than the bear, you only have to run faster than the next slowest guy.

- the_duke 8y agoTo me the it just looks like a screen hooked to a acceptable wristband. Because that's what it is. A completely different world from a beautiful watch. The "fashion accessory" factor is related to the iPhone popularity: it's a relatively expensive status symbol with the Apple boost.
- m0zg 8y agoThat's probably because you don't own one. There are dozens of small details which make it unquestionably a watch, and which no manufacturer other than Apple can even see as significant, not to mention replicate.
