What is your opinion on the recently announced Apple Watch?
Here's mine.
We all know that Apple's rather large inner circle of insane fanboys (the ones with both the iPhone 5c and 5s) will all buy the $350 watch in a heartbeat. But other than those people, I doubt that Apple will draw enough customers. I highly doubt that the Apple Watch will catch on and become a teen fashion trend, but if it does, I expect that Apple will be countin' their big bucks. As far as the practical-minded people are concerned, the Apple Watch will seem like a very expensive replacement for any old watch: it has fewer capabilities than the average smart phone, and it presents the capabilities it does have with less convenience due to the smallness of the screen, plus it will need constant charging; whereas standard watches have incredibly long battery lives.
The former CEO of Intel believes that making a better watch than the current standard was the company's worst move. I predict that Apple will feel the same way. You heard it here first: the Apple Watch will be a complete bust.
