I wouldn't buy this, but thinking of how many friends seem to have a near-constant Snapchat stream of "what do you think about this hat?" photos makes me think this is going to sell big.
It's not more vain than going after the last JS framework or busting your ass in the latest SF startup that's totally going to be a unicorn.
You're not the target, and that's ok, but there's no need to be condescending to the one that might be interested
You might be on to something. But the video on the website is really notable to me for using real people (not abnormally attractive women). The clothes also look fairly normal. They seem to be going for some kind of genuineness here.
I think there are some pretty compelling arguments for this device selling like hotcakes in this thread, and my experience with people very into clothes (e.g. not myself) would lead me to believe there are a ton of people that'd love any reason to make their morning/evening routines longer, and even more people that couldn't care less about a camera/internet-enabled device set up in the bedroom.
I imagine it will take off a reasonable amount at $200, and then really start selling when it comes down to $100, a la the standard Echo path.
Having the button to refresh my cat food/litter every month was absolutely awesome. I already bought the same kind every month on Amazon (they didn't have a subscription offer) so it was always awkward to remember to get back to a computer later to get on Amazon to buy more cat food when I noticed I was low -- being able to push a button to order more right then is surprisingly convenient.
Same here. On the flip side, there is a bra-fitting app called "ThirdLove"[1] are doing this kind of computer vision/machine learning AI to help women for years. So Amazon Echo Look is not completely out of the line here.
