1) Don't lecture me.

2) No one has bought an Watch so discussing the market response is premature.

3) 30% of Galaxy Gears were returned. Which is pretty bad, 'cuz they only shipped 800,000 of them. Not sold, shipped.

4) there are 19,000 different android devices as of August 21. As of today, there are five Android Wear watches.

If you want to define "taking off" as "available" I'm with you. If you want to define it as "selling in any way other than slow and stagnantly" I'm not. 800,000 "shipped" minus 250,000 returned isn't quite Amazon Fire Phone bad, but even Microsoft managed to sell 2 million Zunes and that device is regarded worldwide as a resounding failure.

Again, "taking off" is hardly the phrase I'd use.
