Must a a bit stressful for the midrange- obviously the very high end are more jewellery rather than functional, but still, this was quite impressive.

Wouldn't have thought so. Most people I worked with who were into smart watches never wore a watch before hand. It's the tech they're into and far play to smart watches they pack a helluva lot into them. I have a Garmin one and its great. It's only for sports though and never intended to replace a traditional watch.

10 years ago laptops overtook desktop computer sales. 5 years ago tablets over took laptop sales. Today smartwatches outsold traditional watches. Doesn't really change anything but interesting stats none-the-less.
