Am I stupid for not wanting a cellular watch just because of...

Have a look around this forum. People looking for validation of their opinions makes up at least 50% of the posts here. Just wait until the new devices come out in a few weeks. Then we'll get all of the "Should I get this color or that color" threads from people who can't make up their own minds and need the internet to tell them what to do.
I have had a Watch Dot™ on mine since December of last year. I shower with it, spent a month in Japan with it (100% humidity + extreme heat) and that dot hasn't budged. not sure what sort of glue they use but it's really adhered to the crown. They come in all colors but I just got basic black.
[doublepost=1535632191][/doublepost]Red dot was to distinguish it from previous top end models, but now now the s4 may have a larger screen. The dot may go away because the s4 can be visually distinguished from the previous generation.
no i feel the same way about the cost....if you think about the cost its actually 24.00 a month more..
service 10.00 plus taxes and fee...round up to 14.00
10.00 for apple music cause they wont open it to pandora spotify etc...
Yeah not bad really. I don’t use my watch without my phone often but the odd time it is very useful
Yeah, going for a kick around with my boy down the park... just the watch and keys
By the looks of the leaked photo the red dot has been reduced to a slim ring around the crown.

And that’s aesthetically much better, versus just having a large red dot in place. It basically makes it more minimalistic, but doesn’t become obtrusive either.
Much better, but I wonder how it looks on a Space Grey model

£5 isn't much, but I'm still holding my grudge from when I took out the contract for my X. They convinced me to go for a ridiculous data plan for a little extra by saying I could share it with other devices, such as an iPad or Watch. I ended up paying £78 a month, which later went up to £83 without warning. I only learned later that there was an extra fee for using the Watch and I was essentially lied to. Because of this, I'm reluctant to the extra £5 fee.
I find a fiver a month worth it to be contactable when I forget my phone or my battery dies (I do love my 6s but the battery life is rubbish).
I like the red dot (close up there’s a real richness to the colour) and think the red ring on the pictures of the 4 looks fussy but in practice I don’t notice the dot at all in day to day use so the red circle wouldn’t be a deal breaker.

I think the new red circle looks much better to be honest. Then again I wouldn’t buy the cellular watch as I don’t need it, but as far as aesthetics go it looks much more discreet.
If ever I don’t have my iPhone near me like when I’m out jogging, it’s because I don’t want to be reached. For those that it contact every second of the day, I can see the use. My carrier doesn’t offer Apple Watch support either I don’t think?

I love the new, subtle red circle if ends up being true. Still not sold on LTE for my Apple Watch as I have my iPhone in most places. But if they go LTE only or do not over a non-LTE stainless steel, I might just be forced to have it. And I will evaluate if I want to enable it or not.
