Apple Watch was and is a huge hit.

One could argue Apple Watch has just been coasting on iPhones’ coat tails. People with an iPhone want a watch with similar aesthetics and in the same ecosystem.

If a non-Apple company launched an identical watch at the same time it would have gone nowhere.

The AW became a huge hit in spite of Ive wanting it to be a fashion item. Remember the $10k versions? The version of the AW that everyone has and loves is not the Ive version.
