WiFi and Cellular are avialble on the smallest of apple watches. I don't care if my smartwatch can go 30 days between a charge, none of that matters if it can't do what I want it to do. I had a pebble back in the day and I thought it was useless as it was such a limited device and it sounds like they want to replicate that experience. I'm happy the people that want such a device are getting it, but I don't get the appeal and want a device that can do thing.

That's the important bit. I personally don't see the value in a wifi/cellular watch when I already carry a phone that has wifi and cellular.

I get a lot of value in a watch with extended batter life. For example, I don't need to pack a dedicated watch charger when I travel.


What I love about smart watches is you don’t have to carry your phone. You can leave it behind and not miss much.
