Apple Watch also that no one not a boomer wears watches any longer.


Yeah this is out of touch. They're definitely still popular, and besides, older generations exist and their product preferences are valid


Except for all the young, fit people that want to track their workouts and health. Maybe the time of watches that just tell time has passed - I would argue even against that with the continuing existence of Swiss luxury brands - but watch as a small health monitor is still in full force.


To be honest I usually wear a cheap Timex even though I have an Apple Watch because charging is a task. Wear for hiking. Care less about regular fitness tracking.


People that care about battery life probably use something more sporty like the new Suunto's (I get about 2weeks+ of batter life). However the smart watch health features are nowhere near as good.


You're kidding, right? It's ubiquitous. I see it everywhere. It's almost unusual to see someone wearing a watch that isn't one.
