Yes, that's why I think the Apple Watch will be a dud with their current approach. They are trying to make it both a watch and a consumer electronic. There is a reason why all watches aren't digital, especially expensive ones. Expensive watches are luxury fashion items that age well. Consumer electronics have a much shorter lifespan than expensive watches. Laptops are expected to last a few years; you aren't going to give your grandson your thirty-year-old Macbook or your thirty-year-old Apple Watch as a wedding gift, but you would give him your thirty-year-old Longines. If the Apple Watch isn't a phone replacement, it needs to cost far less than one.
