Your data is: you and your ex-gf did not get the Apple Watch. Not helpful.

  My point is that, although the Watch is not hugely popular and although I personally do not care for it, I can still see the potential and think it is way too early to say its just like the Apple TV. I'm sorry you didn't find my "data" useful, but I was sharing my experience and a larger idea.

    It is typical for technically-minded people to not buy new Apple products due to missing features and perceived design problems ("No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."). Often after not using the product long enough to see if it's really a problem. Or, perhaps to discover what really is there (as opposed to what seems to be missing). These people -- quite astonishingly -- seem to not appreciate how much testing and prototyping Apple does with new product categories. And then, to denounce the product as likely-to-fail in tech forums due to their personal lack of interest. Such people are trying to answer an aggregate market question, with weakly-informed personal tech prejudices. Anyway, this mode of reasoning has proved to be quite misleading; it has missed the boat on every major Apple product category. So yes, I think these observations don't really move the conversation forward.
