The designs are all over the map. Some have touch screens. Some look like regular analog watches; others are basically iPod Nanos with straps. Some require daily charging; others take watch batteries.

Just like MP3 players, cellphones and tablets were pre-Apple. Nothing has persuaded me of the likelihood of the iWatch as this review.
