Between Google and Apple, the smartwatch wars are over before they've even begun | The Verge

We're stood at the foothills of a very large and formidable mountain that has the perfect smartwatch at its peak. It's still very early, not everyone's sure of their footing or the right course to take, but we are all instinctively drawn toward that pinnacle. The thing is, even with all the months and maybe years standing between humanity and its ideal wrist gadget, the winners of the race are already known. Google and Apple won.

I really wonder just how much Apple and Google "win". I never hear anyone talking about smart watches on the streets. People talk to me about other electronics multiple times per day.

I'll consider it a win when smart watches don't still require your phone and last at least a week between charges. Until then I might as well just use my phone sans smartwatch

Hence, over before it even begun.

I'm not sure I'll ever really consider it a win because I don't think of watches as disposable gadgets.
