It will be interesting to track how the watch sells long-term, but I still think that Apple has stumbled when it comes to innovation. Yes, the Apple watch is probably the BEST wearable technology out currently, but what does that mean in the more general scheme of wearable technology? As it is right now it is pretty unimpressive as a whole. From what I've experienced with the watches they are just another peripheral. As you said we are still very far off from having wearable technology that really innovates (full on-board processing, advanced voice recognition, cloud computing, etc.) I wouldn't consider what Apple did with the watch innovation, but rather perfecting what already existed.
