Because I would rather be able to use any device and have more choices. I may buy iOS because I like the device, but not because I want to be locked in and have to buy Apple everything. Why would anyone want to be locked in? There is no benefit to the user.What are you talking about? How is that a "trojan horse" when you buy into Apple's ecosystem voluntarily?
More like they use a square text window that's clipped by the circular edges at top and bottom, similar to the way that text is squarely clipped in the 38mm Apple Watch (as compared to the 42mm), only less so, since at least some text is still visible in the upper and lower curves.

(above: Apple 42mm vs 38mm.) Dissing round watches for clipped text is like dissing 38mm Apple watches for not showing as much as their bigger brother.
Of course clipping is not a big problem in real life for either the smaller Apple watches or round watches, since most watch text is short anyway. If it's not, you have to scroll on ANY shape display.

The round watches give a full analog clock face to the display edge, and put the complications in the middle where they traditionally belong. It gives the best of both worlds in the case of the display that many of us look at quite often.

However, many people these days cannot read analog watchfaces, so even having one is off their list.
Because didn't you know circular is better than square? /s
i meant to say, user accessible storage. u can have x amount of storage on iphones, but its not user accessible, meaning you simply cant plug it to computer and copy files/content to it.What on earth...what is 'access to the GBs'?
You can attach anything to an email. No idea what you're on about.
Huh, the new Huawei watch is rumored to be priced from $300-$800. And LG is releasing a gold plated Urbane for $1200.
You need an Android phone or an Android emulator to update the OS. The iOS Android Wear app will be able to keep the watch up to date after you get it connected.
Thank you so much for highlighting the difference between the 38 & 42mm text boxes. I had assumed the 38mm was a scaled down version of the 42mm, a compromise in of itself. But, the fact it actually displays less text is stunning - clearly Apple found there was a size that was too small even for Retina display. I wonder how many other differences between the way apps display on the 38 vs. the 42.
Obviously the 38mm, even more than the 42, was meant for "glances" -- just like Jony Ive stated, going on to say that anything more than a glance a person should pull out their iPhones. The idea that people are going to read and respond to lengthy text messages on the watch is not how it was designed to be used.
Your picture is of the urbane and you quoted the Huawei.Do you have a picture of this actual watch versus this PR photo? Does the actual watch face look exactly like what's in this photo? IMO these watches never look quite as good in real life.mostly because in real life it looks like a bright electronic display whereas the press shots make the display look more like a traditional watch.

To me Watch press shots and the device in real life look much more alike.
Multiple news sites that went to Google to test drive the devices stated that this was the price point Google had for a series of watches. If you are interested, you may google it yourself. That is actually how I found the info.Give me a link to a $100 Android Wear device that is going to be compatible with iOS. The rumored entry price for the Huawei watch is $300.
This is something that most folks are missing, I think. Part of that blam is on how Google worded things, especially in some vidiew interviews I watched. TRhey do make it seem like the feature just won't make it to older devices. And, not to put Apple users in a bad light, but unfortunately they (we since I am one too) are used to, especially with OSX releases, being told certain features simply won't work on older hardware (often justified due to hardware limitations). So it's easy to just assume all older android watches simply didn't make the cut.The key word here is "officially" supported.
Any watch running Android Wear 1.3 or higher will work.
Trolling.So now Apple users can have a proper smartwatch! Nice! Moto360 here i come!![]()
Yes, compatible if your like half assed integration... Then why even buy an Iphone; go Android all the way and buy the phone too, if you like cheap and half assed.
Yes I know but the general point still stands IMO. The renders always look better than the device in real life. Here's a real life photo of the Huawei:Your picture is of the urbane and you quoted the Huawei.
you made the same comments in the android site here look http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...most-iphones-with-ios-8-2/#comment-2228050568Thanks. No I don't go on Android websites. I'm the guy who keeps telling people it doesn't matter which phone they choose, but gets sick of the people who use #AndroidMasterRace with comments, and who say the iPhone is ****.
