  Ah, a troll. Nice to meet you. In case you aren't a troll (in which case I'm sorry, my mistake) and are just ignorant let me remind you about tablets before the iPad. They were big, bulky, plastic. Ran Windows (not touch optimised). Required a stylus. There was little to no custom software for them. They were expensive. And nobody bought them because they sucked. Then the iPad came along - good software, good hardware, affordable price. Smart watches seem the same to me so far. For something you wear - a fashion accessory - they all look terrible. Even the Moto 360 (which is by far the best looking) doesn't look great. Apart from the Moto 360 all of them have managed to have horrible watch face designs. Moto are the only ones that look decent. The functionality is ok but not great. Not $250 great. Not enough to make me want to strap something ugly to my body. Apple could screw up and produce a piece of crap nobody wants. But my guess is that they will come out with something vastly better and every single smart watch manufacturer will have copied them within 6-12 months.
