You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...

Lol, I'm sure they could make it work without the iPhone, but then they wouldn't be selling you an iPhone too..

I saw one of the hands-on reports today say it has a preference setting for right hand or left hand wearing.
Also, you don't need the iPhone for a lot of the features, but it doesn't mean it solves a problem or a need that doesn't exist... Definitely a product that's not for everybody, until it is - a la the iPad. We'll see.

Its gonna bomb... what a waste. :icon_crazy: Steve Jobs would never have approved this direction.

Lol. Jobs had a few less than stellar creations himself. (I do think the watch will bomb though).

True, but as the years clicked by he gained a better feel for what worked and what didn't in the publics eye. Since his passing Apple has made so may bad moves... iOS7 is the perfect example. It sucks and I use it every single day. iOS6 was SO much better.
Im an Apple guy... hell my family is, and so is my company, with the exception of 1 division.

Proof yet again that God makes mistakes too, and he had a sense of humor to not fix it.

Agreed on all points...and I'm an Apple guy too although I didn't make the complete jump to Mac until last year. Now, I can't imagine being without my MacBook Pro and 27" TB display.

Since I am a true watch guy with more watches than I care to admit having, I found this article on the Apple Watch to be about the best take on the device since it is strictly from a traditional watch reviewer's perspective and not from the digital lifestyle tech nerd angle. Anyway, it's a decent read and solidified the notion that although I like the Apple Watch, it is definitely not for me.

Being a Motorola fan, and disliking apple products (I gave my old iPhone to my son when I went back to a Motorola last time), I'm liking how this moto360 works.....nice!

Most reports I've read have been rather positive. For there to be skeptics is par for the course for Apple. Most people thought the mouse, MAC, iMAC, MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad, iPad mini would all also fail. So sure, the WATCH will fail too. Or could find a nice little niche market and thrive. Only time will tell. I won't pass judgement on a product still in R&D.
Nearly everything Apple has currently was in the Jobs pipeline. Jony Ive was mentored and hand picked by Jobs to carry the innovation. I think we are seeing just the beginning now. The iPhone was announced 6 months before release. So there is still time for the watch device to further develop before it hits shelves next year some time. I remember waiting in line for the first iPhone and people saying I was crazy to spend $599 (no subsidies) for a cell phone. LOL

I'm 1000% biased as I've been exclusively MAC for 16+ years at work and home. New career changes brought me a Dell laptop and Windows OS about 6 months ago.
Want to talk crappy! I'm so glad for days when I can work from home. LOLI think I posted this elsewhere, but talking MAC/Apple is more divisive than talking politics. :crazyeyes:

Caught the Bug
I don't know your tastes in watches but judging from the mere fact that you cited and appreciated that article, I would guess we probably have similar tastes in watches. Though this would not look, feel, or function like anything else in my collection, I still think it's damned brilliant, especially at the sub $500 price point. It will never replace the hand made mechanical timepieces, it does create it's own "sport" niche that I always felt was lacking in the market....a finely designed digital sport/hear rate monitor/gps etc watch. Wouldn't mind if it boasted 100+meter water resistance, but in my minds eye it seems like Apple created what would happen if Polar married Panerai and created a good piece for the gym with pricing for the masses.

Not a collection worth much in terms of rarity or high collectibility, but I am a big fan of Omega (own many), Panerai (guess I'm a Panerista since I have three), Doxa (own two), several watches that are no longer available that were issued to me during my Green Beret days, and have inherited my fathers collection of several vintage pieces.
Glad a few of you found value in the article I linked.
