The random guy may buy it but no Rolex / Patek / Omega... customer will rather buy a Android watch.

I'm totally with you on that. I would rather wear a PP or any number of other nice watches. However, the features and functionality are so very compelling and there's no way I'm going to go round with a PP and an Android "wearable" on; it's going to be one or the other.
Nice as a PP is, time only vs. all the things that watch will do. PP doesn't cut enough mustard to be the one I wear. It'll be just fine as the one in my display case just as a painting is just fine on my wall. That's sort of where I see mechanical watch collecting going if this Android thing really takes off.
All the best.
