And not only that, but many smart Watches were significantly more stylish imho, whereas the Apple Watch has always had more of a plebeian / for-the-masses design. Honestly, though, I think a lot of Apple's dominance with the watch is just because of their dominance with the phone. I'm sure plenty of iPhone users would have chosen a different watch seller if they could have done so while still having a seamless experience.
