When was the last time Apple was like the company Woz founded? It seems that conspicuous consumption has been their main gameplan since at least Job returned. Its interesting where Woz draws the line. I don't see the Watch as any different than their other products.
I'm a bit surprised Apple didn't have some kind of licensing agreement with all the hot watchmakers to embed a smartwatch 'core' into their existing designs, instead of having something of a 'one size fits all' Apple design. I'd rather pick through a dozen tag heuer's and pick one that fits my style and have then shove in smartwatch guts than pretend the Apple Watch or the Moto 360 is enough for me. If anything, these items aren't conspicuous enough.
I think overly-geeky people don't understand that consumers will see watches as fashion items first and things like different styles and brands will be important if you want to be successful in the watch game, smart or not.
Lastly, Woz as some kind of canary in the coalmine for Apple has always been questionable. He probably has little to nothing in common with the demographics Apple is actually tageting. This is like asking John McAfee what he thinks of the current version of Endpoint Advanced. Or Paul Allen about the new cheap Lumia.
