The problem starts with calling a wrist-worn computer a "watch" of any kind. What parent wants is a "watch", a wrist-worn device whose primary or even sole purpose is to tell time. The Apple product I have on my wrist right now is not a "watch", though it will tell you the time. But that's like saying my car is a clock because time is displayed on the dashboard. And if all it did was tell the time, I wouldn't wear it as I don't need to know the time badly enough to wear a single-purpose device all of the time. Unfortunately, it looks like we're stuck with "smartwatch". If we could get the terminology straightened out, maybe every discussion on the topic of smartwatches need not require the presence of "that guy" telling us how in addition to not owning a TV, they just need a mechanical time-keeping device they can pass to their kids who are just going to sell it at the estate sale.
