I'm surprised that the Apple Watch looks so much like a watch. I was keen to see how they might break that concept apart and create something really novel.
I actually felt better about this design. I, too, was anticipating something radical. But we have seen what happened with Google Glass. I think the way to innovate in wearables is to start with something that doesn't stand out and then steer people into more innovative directions?
But if anybody could pull off a radical design without making it the status quo for creepy geeky young men, it is Apple.
I'm sorry? I don't really want to sound like I'm bashing Apple, but I'd never see something round, rectangular and bulky and think "watch" up until the recent advent of smartwatches.
Apple Watch is as un-watchy as any of the competing smartwatches, in my opinion.
