Is the Apple Watch a Success or Failure?

[gene]

The Apple Watch line of wearables, including the Apple Watch Sport is like all things from Apple. What the Apple Watch can do, it does very well, and does so with a slick interface including new gesturing and haptic feedback. However, there are enough drawbacks to make the watch feel more like a beta test than a ready for prime time wearable.

The Apple Watch is definitely a great piece of hardware that is in need of a software update. We go though all of the details to help you decide if this type of product is for you.

It hasn't sold as well as they were hoping to, but it hasn't been a failure either, yet.
We'll see. I personally don't see myself getting one.
Apple needs to rethink the pricing. It's grossly overpriced.

I think it's interesting and that it has a big upside when they get everything worked out, but until then I'll stick with my Garmin watch. GPS built in and made for being out and about.

Another gimmick to increase Apple's revenue stream

My wife is excited about it as someone who is constantly 'connected'. It makes managing voice and email communication even easier.

She's also fascinated with the 'book-boop' of waving her wrist under the scanner at an airport.

I love my Citizen EcoDrive watch. Solar energy is good.

Will the Apple watch battery need to be replaced about every 3 years?

The Apple watch has been around for 10 years?

So you just charged the watch battery every night for 10 years?

Lol! I'm just an Apple fanboy cause I appreciate the ease of use, and the fact that the hardware lasts so long. I was referring to an iBook G4 that I still own...

I own a MacBook Air, a few iPads, and iPhone in the past.

But I don't like the thought that the battery on the watch has to be replaced every few years like the iPhone.
