Apple Watch is a watch that does cool stuff.īut there’s a difference between the iPhone as a phone and the Apple Watch as a watch. The iPhone is a cell phone that doesn’t suck. You already have a cell phone and it sucks. They’re listed as tentpole features because they’re familiar traditional devices. Much like the “phone” in iPhone, though, the “watch” in Apple Watch isn’t really its purpose for being. But in 2007, Apple knew exactly what they had. In the long run, it turned out to be a camera, too, and of course an app platform for the mobile age. The original iPhone was all three of those things. The difference is, Apple’s conception of the original iPhone was exactly right. Tim Cook did much the same at the unveiling of Apple Watch in September 2014: “In addition to being a beautiful object, Apple Watch is the most advanced timepiece ever created, it’s a revolutionary new way to connect with others, and it’s a comprehensive health and fitness companion.” And the third is a breakthrough Internet communications device.”

The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. When the iPhone was unveiled at Macworld Expo in January 2007, Steve Jobs famously described it as three products in one: “The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. I don’t feel bad about not quite getting Apple Watch at first, though.

This is what Apple Watch is: an ambitious modern take on the digital watch. After noting several similarities between the Apple Watch and Roger Moore’s Seiko digital watches during the prime years of his run as James Bond, I wrote: My unsettled feeling over the initial review was correct the review doesn’t hold up. I didn’t feel right about my initial review, and effectively took another crack at it three weeks later. I didn’t fully grasp Apple Watch at first.
