        It seems only dudes were uncool enough to either wear or admire them.

          ^ Big deal. How many of you ever had a watch with an *actual calendar* on it? (I mean, before the  Watch.) This was a prized possession of mine in high school.

            I had the calculator in 4th grade? Then there's this which I had in high school. 

            What? Yes it is a remote control for the tv.

              And the new apple iWatch controls the Apple TV remotely.

                  This seems reasonable.

                        +1  - I am guessing that if and when this ever really catches on, that a newer version won't require your phone and will essentially replace your phone.  But for now, as you indicated the smartphone replaced watches a long time ago, so why launch a watch that requires a smartphone?  I predict a very low take-up on this.  I wouldn't mind being wrong - but I just don't get it (in its current incarnation).

                         

                         

                        Exactly.  I don't get it.

                        See how they run...
