Switzerland is trusted for design of watches. Apple is trusted for design of computerized devices. And the 18 carat gold edition will certainly be more expensive than $350 for those that like a status symbol.
For sure this first generation watch needs an iPhone for some of it's features. But then the original iPod needed an Apple Mac for it's first generation, and that didn't stop it from becoming a huge hit product. More than the iPod, most people that might be early adopters of an Apple Watch will already be iPhone owners.
I doubt I'll be buying one either. But I do quite like the fitness feature. And I can see there is a big market there.
