This evening, NPR's All Thing's Considered had a piece about the strength of the luxury watch in the face of Apple's iWatch. Swiss luxury continues to grow while the iWatch will probably be some obsolete gadget. Sounds good to me.

It doesn't seem like the author of the article is convinced that the Apple Watch will fail.

I guess it depends on how we define "fail." Apple will make money on their watch. I'm sure the profit margin will be high---the watch will sell well enough at the beginning that they'll be in the black. But I don't think it will be wildly popular. In comparison to other Apple products, it won't be considered a resounding success.

To me the Apple Watch smells of desperation. Apple has become the huge (overpriced?) company it is by inventing, or at least popularizing, successive "next big things" in the computer world. Now they don't know what the next big thing IS, but they're trying to build it anyway.
