I hope it hasn't stagnated, since it still doesn't have a feature that I (and many other people) consider essential: multi-day battery life. I'm hanging onto my Pebble as long as possible, in the hopes that Apple will have 5+ day battery life by the time I have to upgrade.

i do think it'll get there because it seems like the Apple Watch could be a manufacturing test bed for whatever AR product they are developing. and battery performance is at the very top.

in some ways the Apple Watch is a package that allows Apple to iterate on key elements of the miniaturization technology while having consumers pay for it and scale.

i just think that it feels like that's all Apple Watch is now, just a place to iterate hardware tech for some other future device they are more interested in.
