Beating Apple to the market and at half the price.
Meanwhile, Samsung is sitting there screaming, "We made on first and it's already out!", but nobody can hear them.

Apple watch missing features
When I first heard about it, I was like "Damn, I can't believe they can fit all that in a watch so soon."
When Apple Inc. started developing its smartwatch, executives envisioned a state-of-the-art health-monitoring device that could measure blood pressure, heart activity and stress levels, among other things, according to people familiar with the matter.
But none of those technologies made it into the much-anticipated Apple Watch, due in April. Some didn’t work reliably. Others proved too complex. And still others could have prompted unwanted regulatory oversight, these people said.
That left Apple executives struggling to define the purpose of the smartwatch and wrestling with why a consumer would need or want such a device. Their answer, for now, is a little bit of everything: displaying a fashion accessory; glancing at information nuggets more easily than reaching for a phone; buying with Apple Pay; communicating in new ways through remote taps, swapped heartbeats or drawings; and tracking daily activity.

Except for "smartwatch" that's been their problem for decades.

And the battery dies in less than a day.
