Watch was criticized for its poor battery life and lack of usage other than health/training management. Now battery life is improved a bit and more health features added, but I think the OG criticize point is still valid. Why is it sold well is that it seems that many people care about health device than we expected.

- ryanbrunner 3y agoApple Watch also isn't really the game changer that something like the iPod or iPhone (or various Macs throughout the years) was. Sure I see people wearing them, but not a tremendous amount, and not completely out of line with something like a FitBit or a Garmin. Apple created a very competitive product in an established market with the Watch, they didn't change the game. Which is where I could see the Apple Vision Pro ending up, but I'm sure that's well short of Apple's expectations.
