Until these watches have decent battery life, the old fashioned watches won't disappear. And at the high end, that some idiots seem to think the Apple Watch Edition is going to completely own, those aren't going to be touched in the slightest.
But going for one of these smartwatches so that you can save a few seconds here and there by checking your wrist rather than your phone is mildly pathetic, and speaks volumes of the use cases - they really are a solution looking for a problem.
Now, the purely fitness based device, they're very different devices.
