Steve Jobs Introduces the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch
Worth noting that "iWatch" doesn't work because it sounds like the sentence "I watch". There's a lot of ways to take that in creepy/joking directions, which would be an unnecessary distraction from the product.

Do you remember all the feminine hygiene product jokes when the iPad was released?

Very true. Hadn't thought of that. There were a lot early on, but you never hear about that anymore.

Based on your logic, even iPhone ("I phone") is out the window. Besides, Apple has never shied away from punny names. Think iSight and Airport.
