Focusing on the customer journey is never easy. After all, customers are fickle, transitory, loyal and contradictory. I am somebody’s customer. You are. We are all somebody’s customer. And being a customer is an emotional experience. We buy on whim, impulse or trigger. We may plan, research and save as long as we like, but decisions can be swayed by friends, connections, a good salesperson. Or even a lingering smell.

Today Apple launched their much anticipated wrist watch, described by CEO Tim Cook as "the most personal device they have ever developed". He got that right!
Rather more than a watch, it's a sort of guardian angel. The Apple Watch has Siri built-in, along with new haptic sensors and buzzers, a heartbeat monitor, accelerometer, and naturally the GPS and Wi-Fi geolocation capability to track your speed and position throughout the day. So they say "Apple Watch is an all-day fitness tracker and a highly advanced sports watch in a single device".
The Apple Pay launch on September 9 had a lot to say - quite properly - about privacy and security. But when they moved on to the watch and health apps, privacy didn't rate a mention. We should be concerned about this. Apple's track record on privacy in Siri for instance is poor. It's bad enough for Apple's Privacy Policy to be silent on Siri but with the watch they're going to get to know our personal habits and the state of our wellbeing.
