I disagree (and so does Hodinkee). I think it's understated and beautiful, and half a dozen of my other watches (some pretty expensive) have been collecting dust.

But even if I were to agree, it also happens to be the best looking "smart" watch on the market by quite a wide margin, by far not the ugliest looking watch overall, and the only one that doesn't scream "I'm a computer" at you.

You don't have to run faster than the bear, you only have to run faster than the next slowest guy.



To me the it just looks like a screen hooked to a acceptable wristband.

Because that's what it is.

A completely different world from a beautiful watch.

The "fashion accessory" factor is related to the iPhone popularity: it's a relatively expensive status symbol with the Apple boost.


That's probably because you don't own one. There are dozens of small details which make it unquestionably a watch, and which no manufacturer other than Apple can even see as significant, not to mention replicate.


Compared to most Android Wear devices Apple Watch is way closer to a phone than a watch...


That fails when the quantities fall below a certain threshold. If the two people are slow enough, both of them may get eaten by the bear.
