They released apple music and it competes well enough with spotify even though they themselves complain about a lack of exclusives and that all the services do the same music for around the same price (which just leaves apple music being less well supported across various devices so a worse choice). It succeeds on brand name alone.
Recently I've heard a lot of praise for airpods and they seem like one of Apples better products and earned it's place but the watch seems to be limited in functionality compared to other devices, again it's just popular brands selling on the name really. I'm not saying they're bad devices but lets be honest, it's largely designed to link up to an iphone so quite limited without it, you can get a more dedicated piece that doesn't have this lapse in functionality elsewhere for better prices. A lot of apple products function like that though, it's kind of a sap tax. A good example is when my internet was down for a week, my laptops and consoles all felt a lot more limited with some games not even playing unless you had an internet connection due to the always connected nature. Even if it's a rare occurrence the times you're without your phone (loses battery charge, it quits working, you forgot to grab it or any other reason) then the watch is limited and bares it's weakness. Can we say any real functionality reasons it beats the pants off of other watches too?

Hope Google will improve their OS and companies will start to make nicer watches. Otherwise it looks like only Apple is making watches and fitbit making some activity trackers, and that's almost it in market.

I will not buy. I want to, and I can... but for a watch it has to be stylish.
To start off, the Apple Watch is thick, too thick for men let alone women.
Also it is not symmetrical, it is not a square but a rectangle. That's lame.
Also the side has a digital crown with push-button which is great...then why stuff it up by placing another button next to it? Keep the crown and centre it.
Thirdly, the display's corners are easy to damage as they are curved like the Samsung S6 Edge. And the Sapphire Crystal is a cheap type, go with a proper Sapphire for protection especially for these vulnerable corners.
And lastly the Navigation/User Experience needs cleaning up a little. Since it's software, this is the easiest fix for them.
However, kudos to Apple for several things:
- Great software and hardware support for the Watch
- Decent adoption of the SDK by third-party developers
- Seemless integration within the Apple ecosystem
My favourite smartwatch models are the LG Urbane, Huawei Watch no.1, and the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. As you can tell, the full-circle watches are preferred since they have more choice of custom Watch Faces.
