As mentioned by Terretta and the original article, serious watch lovers have collections of watches. They could buy the  watch just to add to the collection, worn as a conversation piece in addition to its smartphone peripheral feature.

Aside: I was totally surprised by how similar the  watch looks to the original iPhone.

You really shouldn't use the  character online. It's part of the "private use area", so different vendors are free to interpret it in different ways. On most systems, it looks like "□ watch".

I see some sort of hieroglyphic character that looks like a seagull over a pistol over a sort of upside-down fishhook. I have no idea what languages use this glyph.

On systems where the user is going to buy an Watch it looks like an apple symbol.

It's so nice when you see someone think the same little random thought that you had. I definitely saw the original iPhone in that too.
