Could a Smart Watch Derail Microsoft Corporation (MSFT)’s Focus?

Wary of wearable
I’ve written before about my skepticism that the mass market is ready for wearable tech. I believe that it’s part of mobile’s future, but so far, wearables have only fit into niche categories, and tech like Google Glass has received a lot of public pushback. I don’t think it means that wearable technology won’t take off, but Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) may be wasting some of its time if it thinks a Surface smart watch will bring significant dollars to its bottom line. Apple is in a much better position to launch a watch, and I’m doubtful even that company can pull it off.
