"... package that is very unique "
It's either unique. As in - there is one and one only. Or it's not.
There is no "very". There is no "try".

If they'd made it using 14 nm technology is would be half the thickness, and that would be good.
Really, Good? Considering the current thickness is the thickness all watches have right now? You really think They'd make it 5mm thick (considering the sensors and connectors are 2mm, that leaves 3mm for the watch and the face... Doubtful).
The reason they used 28mm is this thing has been in development and testing a long time and they've integrated everything in the package. Considering the long lead time for this thing, I wouldn't be surprised if the next iteration would get 20mm and not 14mm, there's more than the CPU/GPU to think about in this thing.

28 nm chip??? Pffff... That explains everything!
I'm not going to throw my money at obsolete tech. :mad:
Perhaps in a few years, if the casing got thinner and prettier, and Apple finely decides to catch up with the latest CPU manufacturing node (14nm and below), I might try this wrist toy. But for now my money is better spent on other things than this dumb :apple:watch.
Funny, Apple claims to develop things ahead of their time, and yet they decided to put an obsolete chip in their latest product. Reminds me of their latest crippled Mac Mini. :confused:
Funny how you spend so much talking about something you care nothing about; time to reorient your priorities...
Right... Obsolete chip... Despite the fact that no one else has a better chip, in a smaller package. Everyone else is much bigger and are not using less battery, and are much less useful. What have those poor competitors done wrong if they're using more recent tech...
Maybe they should have spent a few minutes integrating the software with the chip instead of busting their budget on hardware... Oh, I forgot (sic), they're dependent on the crumbs Google deign give them
Apple took seemingly a lot of time developing the software for the watch and testing it to make sure it actually works well; unlike the 5 massive brick like, Crap, Gear iterations Samsung foisted on the world. Samsung doesn't seem to care if they screw their early adopters.
Freezing hardware early to make sure you can develop a stable software for it, is the right way to do things.
