     Apple is so there, and MAN WOW, am I seeing a GRIZNIP of Watches. 
    So far, I've yet to see even one Apple Watch outside of an Apple Store. Yeah Man, right on, they are taking over the world... MEH

    I see a number of things that could be really great but get released in a half hearted, half completed state or as in the new MacPro, delayed and delayed.
    They are just not delivering on their promises. 

    To put it bluntly, some asses need kicking inside Apple.
    You aren’t looking very closely then. I can see two right now and I see them regularly on wrists in client meetings and on the underground system in London . They are the smart watch of choice.

    First rule of sales. Never knock your competitor(s)
    1) This isn't sales, this is marketing.

    2) That's not only not the first rule, but not a rule at all. Look at the Get A Mac campaign for a subtle and clever examples, and political ads for ham-fisted examples for dumb people.

    3) Apple is not Samsung's direct competitor with smartphones. They're already preaching to anti-Apple crowd, and these are just giving them reason to buy Samsung over some other Android-based vendor. That is why these are effective ads.
    And what would the purpose of marketing be other than to generate sales?

    I’d suggest you’ve never held a sales position or if you have then doubt your success. Anyone who knocks their competion causes the customer to switch off. 

    Always focus on your positives not your competitors negatives. 

    You are welcome.

    Yeah right!
    and will this new design also be not upgradable after 2years like with iOS12?
    all these thousands of users that purchased  the first generation are now left in the cold!
    No they aren’t 
      They have a fully functioning watch that did more than they originally thought it did when they bought it due to subsequent upgrades

    This was clearly done by the team Apple bought not too long ago, for the life of me I can’t remember the company’s name. However I think this a really good way to make Siri more useful. 
    It’s in the article. Workflow.
