I think you answered your own question: how much of it is fashion? because yes - something as high fashion as a Ventura may well look dated in 5 years. Your tastes may change. And there may be something you like better. But I'm still unsold on wearables. Screens have been cheap enough to put on luggage tags, zipper pulls, belt buckles, you name it for ten years now and they aren't. We like our technology separate from our apparel. Wearable penetration is negligible now and it will likely be negligible until someone comes up with a killer app for wearable tech. The only benefit to having a phone number flash on your wrist instead of your phone comes about solely because phones now are bigger than TI-85s were.
