I'd get one if my iWatch can call my iCar over like Michael Knight did with KITT in Knight Rider.
Christ, I miss that show.

Maybe this watch thing is actually a rumour misdirect from Apple. Cook did say they were going to "double down" on secrecy. If he was telling the truth, then why so many stories about this watch? Maybe the smart watch rumours are a lie, planted to satisfy the rumour mongers and to keep them off the scent of what Apple is really working on.
It'll be a "watch" as much as the iPhone is a phone -- which is to say, that wont be its compelling purpose.
A team of 100? Do you think we: Samsung, feel remotely scared now? Is that your tactic? I've yet to see a mortal man beat the power of the beast contained within our headquarters.
I kind of want them focused on products that people actually want. I am not sure this watch is that big of a deal.
that Apple has a team of about 100 product designers working on a wristwatch computer,
Apple - take note of Porsche when they did a 924, 944, 968 and 928. 944, 968 might have been decent enough, and the 928 was truly magnificent, they weren't the core product and ultimately didn't do Porsche much good.
This is one area where Apple will not win. People buy a Rolex, Jager le Coultre or Patek for its design and engineering, or perhaps a Richard Mille.
Not a disposable Apple product. And for others, they'll just buy a relatively inexpensive watch like a Citizen or something like that.
And more and more people tend to be wearing complications or grand-complications rather than a common-garden watch, and they might have been made for that person only.
They are style statements. It's like when you go to a tailor to have a suit and shirt made for you. You've done that because you want something a bit more special and individual, rather than something simply off-the-shelf.
While there is some merit in Apple diversifying, eg, the Ferdinand Piech statement about catching more fish if you take more fishing rods (in reference to the VW over-diversification), I don't think the watch idea will do much good, except giving Apple a bad case of indigestion.

Let me guess. They pulled them all off the iPhone/iOS design team.
Wow.. Lost are the days when you would not even know what product was coming out, let alone how many employees are working on a product along with their manager.

Meh, I'll stick to my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I prefer real watches.

Sight unseen, you'll buy one.
I love the 928. I think they still look fantastic after all these years.
