Who claimed it was revolutionary? In fact, from the article: "It won’t be revolutionary, per se — many have already entered the smart watch space — but Apple has a knack for making niche devices mainstream.", which is an assessment I agree with. The iPhone and iPad also weren't "revolutionary" by your standards; there were plenty of smart phones and tablets on the market before then. But Apple certainly popularized the smart phone and the tablet pc. They could potentially do that again with smart watches.
