Please Call it Smart Wrist Device... Not an iWatch

APPLE, SAMSUNG, SONY etc... Please, if you really want your product to succeed, start by marketing your new product as SMART WRIST DEVICE. Stop calling it a watch just because the device tells the time - amongst the many functions it is designed for. My iPhone or any smartphone also tells the time too and it spends a lot of its time in my trouser pocket but its not called a pocketwatch. 
On the same logic, why is the iPhone still called a "Phone"?  In reality, it spends less than 2% of its time in use as being a phone but more of a connected device to access data, information and messaging etc. 
For the same reason, realise the market you are selling to is a market that wants a connected smart device. Not another watch. Just because it's on a wrist does not require it to be a watch. 
So do yourself a favour and sell them as "Smart Wrist Device". Design the device to be different and look different from a watch. That would be a start.
