Ahh, they missed a trick. Where Apple is going to kill them isn't even on functionality, but customizability. That's especially ironic considering it's iOS vs Android.

Yeah, i think you mean for instance when it says "colors available" and there are TWO. 1. Black (okay), and 2. crazy weird yellow-green. I have no stake in this game, but srsly, you'd think they would understand that more colors/styles => more customers. And that's the easy part. Getting the electronics right was the hard part... gosh.

Like the non-standard band the Apple watch has.

Yep. It's a fashion accessory first. Not sure how Sony missed that.

If it was a fashion accessory first Apple wouldn't use a nonstandard strap.
