Do you think you will buy a smart watch in the next year?

Seems like you defined watches.

In this day and age, where smartphones have replaced the watch, or more specifically, the pocket watch. That was eclipsed in form and function by the wrist watch, much like a real wrist watch (or any wrist-based watch) IS better form and function over smart phone in the pocket like a watch in a pocket.

Perhaps many will be equally as satisfied sticking to the concept of the modern pocket watch, but ultimately, regardless of reason, all watches are in fact jewelry.
It is functional jewelry, but jewelry nonetheless.

If you like watches, but you are "modern enough" to be able to accept a watch without physical time movements and hands (though it simulates that and has the design of a classic watch, as opposed to some digital watch like a Timex or Casio digital face), then this is the first smart watch to really check all the blocks.

I do want the 360, but must admit it is not a guaranteed purchase. I need to see and feel it on my wrist - there is much that might annoy me about it, so I'll shop just like I'm shopping for a mechanical watch.

The 360 looks friggin enormous, which is going to be tough to get used to if you're not already used to wearing a watch. Even if you do wear a watch, it still looks too big for many.

I like the traditional watches with the complex features and such.

To be honest, I think smart watches look cheap and ugly (even though they are actually a bit expensive), so in the next year.. definitely not.

This looks neat, but still don't see much use for it.

This looks neat, but still don't see much use for it.

That summarizes about half of the smart watch market.

For the other half of the market, it's "This looks stupid, and I don't see much use for it".

It's the exact same purpose of a watch compared to a pocket watch.

Why take your phone out of the pocket when you can look at your wrist?
