> if Apple launches with good enough hardware, that software updates can keep the watch hardware relevant The first release of the Watch is completely dependent on the iPhone, and that's mostly due to hardware limitations. It's wrong to believe that hardware won't see an update -- the battery life would soon start to seem very dated, new less power consuming processors would arrive and better communication chipsets would help reduce the dependence on iPhone. So a hardware update is imminent.
