This is what happens when you chase fads. If this happens to Apple then you can surely see what will happen to Intel in this space.

Kind of like Intel the tattered and stupid geek showing up late to every new fad: tablets, phones, bracelet, wireless charging, AI, autonomous driving, modems.. you name it the clown reads about it and puts a team together to chase it instead of fixing what is broken at Intel and building on its strengths..
Glad I am off the titanic, what is your exit abandoning plan ?

I have it. It's a well built watch, the $600 model is built as a $600 watch.
However, I find very little use for it. It counts steps, it will do this and that but I need none of that, I can live without it.
As a fashion accessory, it's OK, but that wears off. It gets tired...
It's underpowered, you click on something an it takes forever for that click to trigger an action - that makes me not want to click on anything as it's painful to wait, and you dont know if something will actually happen upon the click, it's not reliable...
Apps really never took off on it - it's slow, and apps are s---y - I dont want to use it...
1 feature and the only way I have it on my wrist every day is the fact that I can easily push one large button that will immediately beep my phone wherever it is in the house - as someone who constantly is looking for my phone (thanks kids), this is really a super cool feature (beeps even when your phone is on silent)....
That's my take on it: too expensive, well built, low on features, clunky perofrmance
