Ugh, I am not sure if you are being sarcastic but it in fact is exactly unlike the original iPhone announcement. The OG iPhone solved a long standing problem that no one else had managed to solve elegantly. It did few things and it did them better than anything else before it.
Apple Watch - well your turn to tell me how it is anything like the iPhone - Apple actually did not tell us what problem it is solving - why competitors' watches are horrible, why I need the Apple Watch etc. That's the worrying thing about this.
Read Ben Thompson's Apple Watch: Asking Why And Saying No for an examination of why the AppleWatch announcement is very announcement is very different from the iPhone announcement (along with the iPod and iPad announcements too).
This is the first Apple announcement I can readily recall where they didn't mention a shipping date, battery life and full pricing details for the new product.
