liked it but on contrary i did find the calendar event bit distracting specially the 12pm text which kinda of took away my notice from the actual time. but I can only judge properly by actually using it.

they can try but cannot stop it entirely with people taking screen shots and passing it around. besides its an unnecessary effort for something they will reveal themselves soon.
Indeed. MacRumors talks of a "massive leak" and references 9TO5Mac but they, in turn, make no mention of how they acquired the pictures."accidentally"
The strange thing is that this invariably happens every year about a week or two before the actual releases, just at the right time for all the interested websites, magazines, newspapers, etc. to organize and maximize their coverage. Uncanny really.

Yes. Absolutely.

No. It's free pre-publicity to maximize the coverage of the official announcements.
Too much information in a small space. My iWatch3 is often frustrating to use. Instead of showing me the time, it's either telling me the news, my cardio info, email alerts, weather alerts, or all of the above in a jumble of display data that is entirely distracting from simply presenting the time when I turn my wrist.
Perhaps surprisingly, there is only one analogue style watch face that has customisable tick marks that can be set to display numbers 1 to 12, as per the previous correspondents request.
I still don't understand why Apple have not made the watch face available to third-party developers and apps. Nor why they insist that all their own selection (of largely unimaginative) watch faces must be "watch faces with complications". There is no good reason to restrict the primary "screen on your wrist" to being an imitation watch.
Possibly battery life. Though they could easily set guidelines and enforce them.
Theres no such thing as an iWatch... Just sayin'
For me, even being able to set timers using siri is worth it. (except i have to be careful for some numbers, it usually tries to set a timer for 50 minutes when trying to set one for 15 minutes)
For getting my wife to get me a towel when I forget one in the shower.
For knowing when someone is calling when in the pool.
I get my work calender on watch so always know what meeting room I need to go to.
I like knowing what the outside temperature is.
I use it for Apple pay,
I use it to open my parcel locker, although if I have many to collect it is far quicker on phone.
I think If I didn't like my Apple watch, I would probably have ditched my iPhone.
With half of the crowd complaining about boring- and other half about overcrowded watchfaces, why not free users to make their own watchfaces ?
It is only the 4th consecutive year I am asking for it - and if it doesn’t arrive I will ultimately switch to something else - whatever the 0.0008” smaller border
Wouldn’t that be like saying, “The model T was a rip-off and Ford should have known how to build the current model first?”
Just because it's now possible to fit nine complications onto one watch face doesn't mean you should.
I'm not sure but it could also mean the merging of LTE vs Wi-Fi models of the Apple Watch. As in no more Wi-Fi only model.So this gold ring image is supposed to represent the new digital crown for Gold watch?

It's the new Apple Park
12 days and counting!!!
Looking forward to this event. I think (hope) its going to be one of the best we've seen in a long time.

We don't need anything tbh.
It's the usual S4, followed by it's twice as fast as S3, GPU 60% quicker.
They may as well just go on stage say S4 followed by Blah Blah Blah!
Why? It’s probably one I’d use. I don’t get the hate for it. And you don’t have to use a complication in every one of those spots. I’m not sure why people are freaking out over it.

What Watch face are you using? There are several that show the time and nothing else. And you can tweak notifications if you don’t want them showing up on your watch. But if all you want is the time I’m not sure why you have an Apple Watch in the first place.

If it’s legit they will be showing it off. If it’s legit I will be using it with my new Watch.
Just as a point of clarity...
Apple's resistance to 3rd party faces probably has very little to do with how those faces would look and is instead related to how those watch faces would perform. In order for 3rd party devs to be able to develop watch faces Apple would need to give devs control of the watch face itself, this presents a problem for Apple because presumably a poorly designed watch face could lead to problems with performance, battery life, and stability.
