The design of the iWatch was nothing short of incredible!! Not only did Apple take advantage of the dying market of watches but they also were able to intuitively integrate their iphone touch screen technology into their design as well as include the magsafe technology from their apple MacBook technology. All things that users of their projects are familiar with but presented in a new and innovative way.
I'm curious about your statement that watches are a dying market. It's definitely true that they're no longer the primary way to tell time (phones have that honor now), but they're absolutely still relevant. They play a role in fashion, and luxury brands have the benefit of being a status symbol. I don't see either of those things going away soon--no matter how hard Apple tries, smart watches will be difficult to accessorize and just won't carry the same social weight as a Rolex.
