Hmmm. The iWatch as an iteration on the watch, Glass as an iteration on glasses. Glasses, of course, having never been cool no matter how hard they try. I'll buy that. An important distinction: an iWatch mostly tells time. It also happens to do other nifty shit. Glass, on the other hand, mostly sits as an interface layer between you and the world. Glasses are corrective lenses, while Glass is an "augmentive" lens... so there may be limits to the parallels but your point is taken. (also, nobody is going to freak out that you're secretly recording them or augmenting them down to their underwear with an iWatch)
