Adult topic. Not for kindergarten kids. For intelligent people to ponder.

This one line says _everything_ you need to know about the Apple watch:
"*The watch's success hinged on persuading the world*
*that it was a fashionable accessory*"

*How Technocrats Triumphed at Apple*

Better than all the cheap ones and at least equal to the rest, like all
Apple's devices are.

Keeping this conversation at the _adult_ level of actual facts...

.... It's an adult topic whether any one mere fashion accessory is better
than any other mere fashion accessory - particularly in this case of Apple
fashion accessories where the success of the watch marketing gimmick was
said by Jony Ive himself - to hinge on fashion and fashion alone.

BTW, did any of the _adults_ in this ng notice Apple;'s twenty-five million
dollar prep included convincing Cook to agree to cut down "two dozen trees"
just so that they could erect a "lavish white tent" in keeping with what
"fashion industry" expects for overly priced fashion accessories.

So much for the environment...
