I just cannot get excited by the Apple Watch. I really hate wearing watches and even most jewellery, and I can't see why I would want it or need it. My fear that Apple will end up creating a need, in that there will be services created where an Apple Watch (or smart watch in general) becomes required. Just as there are increasing things that you really need a smartphone for these days.

For me, my iPhone is both a productivity and an entertainment device. I have loved the larger screen of the iPhone 6+. I just struggle to see where a watch would fit in to my life.

If you hate wearing watches and most jewelry, you aren't the target market. It's as simple as that. You don't need to get excited, because most adults wear watches, and that's the market Apple is trying to capture.
