How do you get your 21mil? You do realise that as a product ages the sale numbers taper off? It's still a good number but you need to join reality.

      As much as I looked I haven't seen anyone wearing an apple watch in Silicon Valley, California. Maybe it looks too much like a Casio watch, so looks isn't all that great, never mind having no real function other than telling time.

        To a point who really needs it.
        Cant be bothered. There is enough technology and being tied to it already

                    Smart watch.
                    If you're smart wou will never buy such a useless device.
                    Nothing but a gimmick with unwarrented hype.
                    What is the point in having a phone especially a high end device if you want a extra device that allows you to keep the phone in your pocket.
                    Pointless.

                          this guy going to eat his words For example talking about google searches is just stupid, why would people search device which they can't even buy? many many countries doesn't even have this watch available (my country included) searches are growing when watch is available in more and more countries.

                            Overpriced Apple Goods putting customers off because there are lower priced equivalents on sale to choose from.

                                    Like a normal watch or luxury watch, this is not a must have/need object
                                    So it's normal, but still selling 5 mill...

                                        Pricy one, not surprising! Not an important accessory IMO!
