A: They're too big. Because physiology and fashion.

Women have smaller wrists on average. Women's watch fashion demands smaller watches. Men's watch fashion often includes huge or very large watches. Technology limits the minimum size of the technology, therefore it better aligns with men's fashion and their (on average) bigger wrists.... for now.


Because i don't want something on my wrist. Sell me a pendant or a pocketwatch.


Could it be the same reason I don't have one? They're bad?

Once I can replace my phone with a "watch" or some form of wrist device, then I'll be onboard.


The only smartwatch I ever see women with is a white Apple sport watch
