I believe the (only) way the product will become a true success is if it becomes a fully-capable unit just like a iPhone. Fully capable as a stand-alone phone.

For example, I might just buy one then.

In which case, it competes against every other Apple product. Big time. And other units will likely, soon follow, and a competition will become truly amazing.

If is doesn’t allow people to communicate the same way, I don’t believe it will truly attract the same sort of consumer audience.

But in that case... someone else will produce a stand-alone phone in a watch, and they will rule that market.

Badly hurting Apple.

Things will get interesting soon, I believe.

There already is one. . . and it isn't ruling the market. It hardly made a splash.

When the iPhone was announced, the line was
