Smartwatch rant

Fair warning: I jumbled all of my thoughts here into one mega paragraph.

Android Wear is better software than what we know of running on Apple Watch, but that's not going to matter in the near future. Apple Watch is a far more elegant solution hardware wise, and that's what most people are going to care about. Every existing Android Wear smartwatch makes some sort of design sacrifice, whereas the biggest/only gripe with Apple Watch is that it is square (which I honestly don't think is a problem, and may actually be part of the solution). Android Wear watches are also universally too big, meaning that their appeal to women is extremely negligible. Android Wear watches are also not uniformly customizable in the way that Apple watch is. Sure, you can get some models in different colors, and some offer interchangeable bands, but the former isn't that great of customization, and the latter isn't incredibly user accessible. Apple's solution is elegant; they make tons of different colors and styles of great watch bands, and users can swap them easier than they change phone cases - no tools required.
