I mean, I guess. The Apple Watch sucks because it's fucking $349 or whatever. Compare that to my Pebble's $50. Is it still a luxury item? Yes. Would I buy it at $100? Probably not. Would I buy it again at $50? Hell yeah. I'll pay the Apple tax for a Macbook. Shit's been doing well for two years running now, so at least it feels worth it for its price (knocks on every piece of wood in the room). But if I'm gonna pay $349 for a watch, it better not be obsolete in the next year - which this thing will be, when the updated version comes out. If the Apple Watch isn't about utility, then it shouldn't be a smartwatch. It should just be a watch.
