Is it as good as an android watch?
Better than all the cheap ones and at least equal to the rest, like all Apple's devices are.
Keeping this conversation at the _adult_ level of actual facts...
... It's an adult topic whether any one mere fashion accessory is better
than any other mere fashion accessory - particularly in this case of Apple fashion accessories where the success of the watch marketing gimmick was
said by Jony Ive himself - to hinge on fashion and fashion alone.
BTW, did any of the _adults_ in this ng notice Apple;'s twenty-five million dollar prep included convincing Cook to agree to cut down "two dozen trees" just so that they could erect a "lavish white tent" in keeping with what "fashion industry" expects for overly priced fashion accessories.
So much for the environment...
