Am I the only one that thinks that a watch will be a huge bust?
Who wears a watch anymore? Sure, some people do for fashion, but those tend to be high end elegant watches.
What problem is the watch solving? I carry my phone in my pocket. Sure, I don't when exercising, but I don't want to be distracted by stuff then anyway.
Plugging in headphones to a watch just seems weird because the wire would be all up in my business. In my pocket seems to be much more useable.
I don't think this will be a blockbuster or even a hit at all. I could be convinced if there is a killer "app" for it that I'm not considering. I guess I just don't see what a watch could do that would compel me to wear one when I already have access to a clock/etc in my pocket.
I *DO* think the potential for a television is insanely huge, but I also think that will be primarily American based and not necessarily a global hit. Imagine the pain of securing content in hundreds of countries. Oye...
Having said that, if I can reduce my total content cost by ditching cable television and getting my content ala carte for a cost savings, I'm all in.
...and calling/e-mailing/texting ex-girlfriends on the off-chance they'll invite you over for some "old time's sake" no-strings couch gymnastics...
