One year on, developer interest in Apple Watch seems to be disappearing fast

After a fair amount of build-up, the Apple Watch finally graced us with its presence last year. For a product in a category that is scarcely established, let alone approaching maturity, it has sold well early on. However, like many of its counterparts, it has suffered from a perceived lack of real necessity. Consumers are interested in the smartphone because they'd struggle without it, but the same cannot be said for the vast majority of smartwatches. These things take time, of course, and it's be presumptuous to suggest the smartwatch is doomed to fail. But where devs were only too keen to build Apple Watch apps and services early on, interest appears to have sharply declined.
