the current iteration of the apple watch doesn't make sense, just like 1st gen MacBook Air didn't make sense

in a few years it will make sense

smart watches are really good if you're too lazy to pull your smartphone out of your pocket. you know, the smartphone that you have to have near your smart watch at all times or it won't work.

Smart watches are also good if you want to look impatient or bored by looking at a watch instead of looking impatient or bored looking at your phone
