well its likely that interest in smart watches might lead people to getting into "archaic" watches as many as much art as function.
it is a problem to those involved in the collecting, selling, and trading, of watches. the issue here is that you may not see it as worthwhile market but there those who do and considering the sums involve niche markets like this could very well be profitable.
the surest way to not succeed is to close doors before you go through them. there are many areas where small markets exist that are just waiting to be served. establish a model that works at this size and expand outward. everyone's first hit cannot be facebook sized and some never will have such a hit but you can create success and personal satisfaction if you set goals and reach them, just don't set goals where your comparing yourself to others achievements.

Smart watches will help with health, safety, communication, logistics, etc. Old mechanical watches were innovative feats of craftsmanship and engineering of their time. We should carry on that tradition instead of staying in the past.

In fact, despite what startup founders claim, very little of what they do will have any lasting impact. He's doing something he's interested in. Why should it matter if it benefits society?
