TAG Heuer Bringing Smartwatches To Market

[GradyPhilpott]

The head of TAG Heuer has told Swiss newspaper NZZ Am Sonntag that they are planning to launch a smartwatch, “but it must not copy the Apple Watch.” Their plans are to present their smartwatches by next spring at the latest. TAG Heuer and indeed the entire watchmaking industry are facing competition from smartwatches and it appears that the iWatch Apple Watch (I’m never going to get used to that!) has them spooked.

Before I go any further, I must express a degree of frustration at TAG Heuer’s announcement citing the Apple Watch. Apple have not been a bellwether for technology innovation for at least three years now. Their products do not innovate but replicate and build on the success of others.

I am reminded of the Thomas theorem.

"It is not important whether or not the interpretation is correct — if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences." — the W.I. Thomas theorem.
