Apple Watch market share falling amongst fitness trackers, holding steady with smartwatches
In my opinion, the Apple Watch is trying to be too many things, and have too many features (some of which are downright silly and awkward: sending someone your heartbeat?). Think of the ipod, did some things really well, did not try to be too many things. I recently purchased a fitbit charge 2, and I like that is cheaper than the Apple Watch and has longer battery life. It is also smaller. I don't need hi res screen on my wrist. Another thing, who goes jogging with a watch without a phone? What if there is an emergency? How about listening to music? So, Apple should have specialized the Apple watch more, and cut some features. Too late now, they'll probably just wait for the battery life and technology to catch up, and barring Ive's not trying to make it thinner than it is, in a few years, the battery will be acceptable, for all the features it has. I definitely would have taken an Apple watch, cheaper, led screen, and much longer battery life, and more simple. Remember the "people don't want a computer on their TV"? Well, people don't want a computer on their wrist.
