> I doubt you'll find a source, this entire paragraph is you projecting your own insecurities onto everyone else. Sometimes I wonder if I live in the same world than some of the commenters here. Here is The Verge review of the Moto360: [https://www.theverge.com/2014/9/5/6108947/moto-360-review https://www.theverge.com/2014/9/5/6108947/moto-360-review]. A few selected quotes by me: “It’s designed to prove that smartwatches don’t have to be ugly.”, “It’s not a gadget, it’s a watch”, “At 11.5mm, it’s a little thick”, “ Everything before it was a screen on your wrist”. And that’s the Verge being incredibly nice with the 360. Truth is it was very much still seen as a tacky piece of technology bolted to your wrist. It took me two minutes to find by the way because this kind of reviews were literally everywhere in the years leading to the release of the Apple Watch.

  > you think Apple invented wearing watches as a fashion statement with their release of the Apple watch in 2015. No, I said that Apple successfuly turned smartwatches from something seen as gadget into something seen as a proper acceptable watch, which they most definitely did as I have proved to you with my previous message (which you are conveniently ignoring by the way). The watch industry is very fashion conscious. Swatch Group managed to turn mechanical watches - a clearly inferior product which not only can't keep time properly but has to be serviced every couple of years - into something of seen as timeless and the embodiment of success so clearly Apple was walking a well paved road.
