"Apple Watch Review: The Smartwatch You Want, Not the One You Need"
We don’t disagree with criticism of Apple Watch’s price tag but we need to ask ourselves if we only buy things we absolutely need. Almost everyone who has bought an iPhone will tell you that they could have settled for other phones priced a lot less. But they didn’t because they wanted the iPhone for certain features it offers. Similarly, Apple Watch is not yet a product that iPhone users need, but it is the best smartwatch they can get.
Terrible meme from terrible movie aside, the title of this (actually decent) review is ironically generic in its specificity: The inverted Batman phrase can be applied equally to any smartwatch for any ecosystem from any maker. Nobody needs a smartwatch. Not yet. They are all predicated firmly on “want,” and that’s not going to change until Apple (or, far less probably, Google or Samsung) manage to achieve the space’s true raison d’être.
