Apple's Smart Watch Is 'Not Pretty': Analysis

Remember how simple the first iPod was?
Remember how user-friendly the iPhone was?
Remember how the iPad was a huge hit with people who didn't really use computers?
The Apple Watch is the opposite of that.
It's aimed squarely at power users - and that represents a change of direction from Apple.
First, it's not that pretty - a personal judgement.
It's a bit clunky - just like the original iPhone was, so expect this to get better too with each new generation.
And, it has some smart features. Wireless charging is exciting, and you've got to love the Walkie Talkie capability, if you have any joy in your heart.
Don't fish your phone or wallet out - just tap with your watch to pay.
Then there's the "send-your-heartbeat" feature. As chief executive Tim Cook put it: "It reads your heartbeat and then the receiver feels a vibration that actually matches your pulse."
Cute or creepy? I'd go for the latter. No doubt we'll be spammed by the heartbeats of PPI sellers before long.
But the Apple Watch doesn't look the easiest thing to use - as with most smart watches so far - and it will take a fair amount of work to set.
It solves problems, but only for someone who's already a heavy user of an iPhone.
But otherwise, the new iPhones were as expected.
They look very good, but personally I'm sad to see the smaller screen size go, as I find bigger screens a bit unmanageable for one-finger typing.
Apple Pay is also interesting, and will be big in the US.
But in the UK, we're already getting used to contactless payment on credit and debit cards.
If Apple can make the payment experience seamless though - and merge offline with online - it could be the most important announcement of the night.
