And there you have it. First, that iPod nano wasn't a watch. It was an MP3 player (iPod) that had as an added feature, a time-telling function. Wasn't a lot going on, so the UI was very light and simple.
Second, Apple isn't going to make a Pebble. And most people do expect a
lot out of a smartwatch, and especially a Watch. Given the competition and price point, it doesn't make sense for Apple to make a Watch bereft of features. Apple doesn't want to play in the low end of the pool.
