Apple Watch is the future…..seriously??? One can argue that Apple’s stock price has been driven higher in anticipation of Apple Watch. Well, that in addition to Apple’s blow out quarterly results. However, there is a real reason to believe that Apple Watch will face a disastrous launch. Here is why….
- Apple CEO Tim Cook faces biggest test yet with watch introduction
- Apple Watch is a Really Poor Product: McNulty
In addition to a lot of competition, here is my common sense analysis. Outside of geeks and hipsters, I don’t think many people will get Apple Watch. It just doesn’t make any sense in terms of applicable use. Medical applications aside, I just don’t see the need to have two internet devices on ones body, when one of them, the phone, being by far superior to the other. Plus, very few people wear watches this day and age.
I did see the potential of iPod, iTunes, iPhone and iPad. I don’t see it with iWatch. And while I might be proven wrong, I don’t see many people texting or emailing from their watches. It’s not applicable, the screen is too small and the process is, to be frank, idiotic.
The final question is, if Apple’s Watch fails as a product, how much of a haircut will the stock price get. We might find out soon.
