Only beautiful, slim, functional arm-bands (not only fitness trackers, though) make some sense in the future. With simple displays battery-efficient, and bendable batteries. But Wall Street are not interested there, because of the price.
If we are talking about smartwatch anyhow, the only one OEM that made it right is Samsung, and developing and innovating.
Apple has nothing there, but counting on colors and such.
The only thing that Apple have is fateful ifans, holding few apple-stocks, to care and fight about. LOL

"We don't "see enough pull in the market"
Well duh. Motorola only released the Moto watch in very few markets, and even when they reached other countries, they only do discounts in western markets like US (not sure about European countries). So it's OBVIOUS that they don't see enough pull, since they were not pushing it to begin with.
Moto had something going with the 2nd gen. The Moto360 remains my favorite Android watch.

-- Phones can only "consume" content, that's thier strength ofcourse. They can "create" content only in a very limited fashion. So no true PC replacement at least for next 5-8 years.

2. Smartphone's are doing way better job of replacing PC's.
3. My point is that there is a lot companies can do to modernise TV's but may be due to low profitability growth has been slow.

I remember the beginning of the year, every tech site said the "big thing" of 2016 will be smartwatches, premium mid range phones and VR. None of them were successful and smartwatch sales even slowed down after the Big Bang of the Apple Watch was out. I don't think we will see a revolution like the first iPhone in the next years and that also isn't bad. I mean we still have so many issues with today's phones like battery life, durability, software updates and only when we overcame those, we will be ready for something new

"We don't "see enough pull in the market"??
of course.
- one more device to charge that barely lasts a day on a charge
- very thick, should be 2x thinner
- focus on "health" and "fitness" while this interests only a few
- crazy overpriced. Should be 100 EUR max

Bummer, I was actually expecting the new gen 360 within Q1 2017, I got 2nd gen myself and it is really useful for me, at least they should give an OTA update to Android Wear 2 for all 360's.

These useless smartwatches must die. A stupid accesorry for nerds, they will never be able to compete with the beauty of a classic watch. Never ever. A classy person will never wear such surrogates.
