I think watches are going to be a tough sell in general. Watches are fashion accessories subject to trends. Many people, myself included, wear different watches depending on dress or occasion. So the look of these things is going to be a hard target to hit. My main problem with the Apple Watch is that it looks like an Apple product. It's a tech gadget which, by the way, is also a wearable watch. I can't see myself wearing one. I'm looking for a watch which, by the way, is also a tech gadget. So while I agree with you about the LG G Watch R–it looks cheap and misses the details–on the plus side, it is clearly a watch and I can judge it based on its watch-merits. With the Apple Watch I can only really scratch my head in wonder.
