Hodinkee:

With half a decade of perspective, it’s hard to imagine the watch world before Apple dropped their wrist-worn device, bringing more attention to watches than any other single event or product in recent memory. So, with the milestone just a few hours away, now seems as good a time as any to look back over the last few years, through the lens of the Apple Watch.

This is an Apple Watch retrospective written from our perspective, and hopefully, I can convince even the most Apple Watch-skeptical among you to take this journey with me.

The Apple Watch is a very interesting device five years after launch but there’s a very real sense that it will really come into its own over the next five years.
