I have had my apple watch 2 weeks and in that time have not worn my Blancpain ,Rolex or Anonimo once .
The fitness ap is addictive and I like to hit the daily target .
The writing on the wall for the Swiss watch industry ?
Possibly not. More accurate Quartz / digital watches couldn't kill off mechanical watches in the 70s and phones haven't killed them off sinceThe fitness ap is addictive and I like to hit the daily target .

Apple watches that you have to charge every day and have to be linked to an iPhone to do anything, won't do it either.
As much as I love my iPad and iPhone I'd never consider an Apple watch. If I need to read texts or look at my fitness data, getting my phone out of my pocket isn't that big a chor for me. I wear various swiss watches becuase they look good (jewely for men if you like) something the Apple watch isn't good at.

I am bang in the middle of target market for an Apple watch.
I don't want one. I appreciate many do. But I don't.
I find the idea that I am the only person who thinks this to be very unlikely.

Same here, it's just the kind of thing I'd like normally.
I know loads of people who buy most Apple products and get the new iPhone/iPad the moment they come out but none of them have bought an apple watch.
In fact I've only met one person who even has one, you have to go to an Apple Store to check them out. I wonder if sales are below expected?

Just read this interesting artical on watchmaking. There's some comments on the Apple watch near the end of the piece which I can relate to.

So,OP.. Hardly anyone is buying them, is this the writing on the wall for the Apple Watch?
Never mind, it'll look great next to the Lisa and the Newton!

I lust after one of those round LG watches. Then I started thinking, "How daft would I look wearing two watches?" And realised the answer was, "Very." So I haven't bought one. Also, charge it everyday? You've got to be joking.
Id wear 2 but the second would have to replace my phone, have 30ft induction charging and look nice & high tech.Foliage said:

Yeah, the charging thing needs sorting out. I'd want to be able to not take it off and it would be able to charge whether that's by sitting at my desk for a couple of hours (not 8) or whatever.Avidfanofstuff said:
Getting them both on the same strap would be awesome too, but that apple watch would get scratched a tad...Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
