Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak expressed concern over how many Apple Watch options there are during an "Ask Me Anything" interview on Reddit this week.

Wozniak said on Wednesday that he "worries a little bit" about the Apple Watch.

When asked what Apple CEO Tim Cook is doing right/wrong, Wozniak said:

"I worry a little bit about - I mean I love my Apple Watch, but - it's taken us into a jewelry market where you're going to buy a watch between $500 (£349) or $1100 (£769) based on how important you think you are as a person. The only difference is the band in all those watches. Twenty watches from $500 (£349) to $1100 (769). The band's the only difference? Well this isn't the company that Apple was originally, or the company that really changed the world a lot. So it might be moving, but you've got to follow, you know. You've got to follow the paths of where the markets are."

Apple Watch sales have been disappointing compared to other Apple products like the iPhone and the Mac range.

During the Christmas quarter of 2015, Apple shipped just 4.1 million Apple Watches, according to an estimate from International Data Corporation. The figure was considerably lower than most people were guessing

Apple vs. the FBI

Wozniak was also asked about his thoughts on Apple's ongoing case with the FBI. Apple is refusing to unlock an iPhone belonging to a San Bernardino gunman for the bureau, despite receiving a motion from the Department of Justice.

Wozniak sided with Tim Cook in his reply, saying "bad people" will find a way into Apple's products if Apple writes code that lets people in, which is what the FBI wants it to do. Wozniak's full reply to this answer can be read below.
