I'm not sure You could call Watson an product at any given time in its history. The thing is that it was mainly a marketing stunt (the Jeopardy) and the technology behind it never was production ready and IBM was not able to turn it in anything reasembling real product. Sure they used the name, stamping anything that seems like AI with it (for example I remeber that there were some IBM Cloud services for sentiment analysis in text that were pushes inside this whole AI initiative). But in the end it all seemd just like a gateway drug for IBM to shove some consulting teams down their clients throats.
