>> Seems to me that requiring an Iphone limits the sales to those with Iphones - I don't see anyone without an Iphone buying one so they can then buy the watch.

Think of it as accessory for the iPhone to provided added functionality.

But it is, as always, a double-edged sword with the closed "ecosystem." The absolute fans will get on board, and some people will be turned off by it.

I did not like the closed system until I started developing for it. And while it is a PITA to go through the process of "signing" apps and getting them properly provisioned, they do have excellent infrastructure for doing it. The advantages to consumers at this point apparently still outweigh the disadvantages.
