Having worked in China for a while, I know their love of brands is unhealthy, but I think the Apple watch will still do well in the US. We care less about brand, but it's still a good portion of the population that does. Also, despite the fact that Apple is very late to the smartwatch game, and nothing about their watch seems nearly as good as something like the Moto 360, they have the automatic exposure of being a huge company everyone talks about. Sadly, this means the Apple watch will be the first smartwatch some people have ever heard of, and I'm sure some Apple fans will automatically assume it is the only high quality one on the market without even looking at alternatives.
