I read that the Watch is “...now the top-selling brand across the watch market as a whole.” With that in mind, will it sway those of you reluctant to part from your traditional watch to get an Watch?
I thought Series 3 did a good job of presenting the best watch out there on the market. Then came Series 4 and I was very close to trade my Series 3 in for a 4 but decided not to at the last minute.
I’m sure with whatever Series 5 brings, doubters, skeptics and the likes will also take a liking and Apple will sell even more watches.
Time will tell.
It's nice because it offers quite a bit more functionality than traditional watches. I was never a watch guy but the Apple Watch add value to my day that traditional watches otherwise didn't. My wife wasn't a watch person either but now loves her Apple Watch. These are the types of stories that I think Apple (and I'd imagine other smartwatch makers) can really capitalize on. They offer something that watches otherwise didn't.
As Apple continues to implement more health conscious features, I'm sure adoption will continue to grow. I'd bet they'd see even greater success if they open compatibility with other operating systems.

Now that’s got to be quite some ‘procedure’ to have on and off of your wrist each day...

I get tripped up by auto(mis)correct all the time myself...
I don't even own a watch that I wear outside the house since getting my first Apple watch. My other watches are used while getting dressed for work in the AM.

No.
I am a mechanical watch enthusiast. I love the mechanical workings of a real watch. The craftsmanship (most of mine are made by real watch makers in Germany), their ability to create and store energy so they never need winding (automatic) or the tactile feel of a hand wound watch, the amazement of how the dozens of moving parts work in unison to capture time and also how they defy modern technological advancements.
Let's face it, they are less accurate than quartz and digital devices and are expensive due to the labor required to build them, but I will continue to wear one because it somehow makes me feel what I am carrying will not be thrown away in a couple of years for the "next best" thing.
Just my 2 cents.
I still wear my mechanicals too. I like my Apple Watch, but only for closing my rings lol. I found the notifications to be annoying as heck, so I’ve been turning them off* I’ve been trying to not be annoyed by them but I can’t lol.
