Jonny Evans asks for Computerworld, “What does a watch do? It’s primary function is to tell the time. This should be the key metric as Samsung attempts to go head-to-head with Apple next month, so what will the Korean conglomerate learn from Cupertino’s iWatch when Apple responds in 2014?”
“At its heart Samsung is an industrial conglomerate. It is open to question just how much design ability the company has to deploy,” Evans writes. “Over at Apple, Jony Ive’s team already has a reputation for design, and will be equally motivated by a desire to maintain that credibility, while also hoping to kick anything competitors might release to the curb.”
Evans writes, “I suspect Samsung will gain the first to market advantage with its product, but anticipate weak aesthetic design, a limited set of features and a compromised user interface will offer little challenge for Apple as it moves to introduce iWatch, potentially in 2014.”
