29% of the respondents said they would rather buy the Apple Watch than any other smartwatch while more than half disagreed over preferring Apple Watch over other smartwatches.

52% of respondents thought smartwatches are just a fad and would pass off. According to 43%, the smartwatch would get as common as the smartphone today.

As a matter of fact, 53.5% even said that they think wearables would replace smartphones.

Apple Watch would only work in conjunction with iPhone and 13% of 209 respondents said they would get an iPhone in order to be able to use the Apple Watch.
