Timmy wants That Watch to work, so bad! His Legacy! And the Bands! The Bands! Apple can't innovate, Phil Schiller's Ass!
This is all too pathetic.

So, why don't you PayPal me $80 -- no big deal, right?
Nuts. 60 bucks off is a great discount. They're not overpriced, and the proof is that people will buy them up. I know I just got another as a gift due to this great price and free overnight shipping.
Everybody wants stuff for free. Easy to say what the price should be when it's not your product and profit.
What on earth are you talking about? It was an overnight billion-dollar business. I've worn mine every single day since launch and see them all over the place.
Very happy with my S1 for $229 + $20GC (new) from Target![]()
Must have lots of returns..
They are totally overpriced. They sell because thats the price point. They get returned because people are smart and the bang for buck is not there. Why else does Apple not show return rates.
I just spent $120 for a Fitbit for my daughter....you got a much better deal! There is no comparison. I would have bought her an AW instead, but she is in college and thinks it's too much......idealistic youth!![]()
I don't disagree with you, but do you think refurb iphones haven't been in the bathroom and witnessed horrors?
There seems to be something very unhygienic about wearing a previously owned watch from a stranger on your wrist. Yeah, they can be sterilized, but it's kinda nasty. Eeeew
From my experience, Apple seems to put a new outer shell on their refurb products and just keep the (tested and - where necessary - repaired) innards. So chances are, that the parts of the watch touching your skin have never touched other people's wrist before.Refurbished wearables .... gross. I don't care how many times it was scrubbed and sanitized, doesn't change that these have been in the bathroom and witnessed horrors![]()
I don't know I if I want a series 1, series 2 doesn't seem much better/different.
Taste is very personal, but that comparison is off. The "flat tire" pretty much destroys the roundish look on the Moto360, whereas the AW is designed as rectangle. Besides - I found the 360 to be far too clunky on the wrist. The AW is almost airy in comparison. And somehow the screen on the 360 looked faded / washed out to me (lowres and pale colours).My 1st gen Moto 360 [...] is a much more attractive watch (the "flat tire" is a big negative, but the Apple watch has four flat tires, so...)
No. Round may appeal better to some, but it'd come with severe impairment on usability/functionality. If Apple ever releases a round AW, I hope it'll be an option, not a subtitution for the rectangular one.Three things will fix it:
1) Completely rethink the design. It needs to be round, with edge-to-edge screen.
$250 is unrealistic currently. Perhaps if real competition will rise and technology marches forward, but even then: Apple is not known to really lower price points on their products once the've been established. They rather put more features in for the same price. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I guess the current price points will stay more or less the same for the coming years.2) Stainless steel, waterproof, and priced at $250.
I'm sure Apple is well aware after their experience with the iOS AppStore and its effect on the iPhone and other iDevices. But so far the AW hard- and software has been beta at best and allowing too much 3rd party on one of the most crucial interface parts could have led to unwanted side effects:3) Allow developers to make their own watch faces.
Nothing inventive about it. The Watch has been a failure since its inception.
Yeah it's a failure in many countries,the reason is expensive more like a gimmick, meanwhile I was planning to get one but bought new iPhone 5s (silver) instead and saved a lot of money, Now I have four iPhonesHow do you know this? More specifically, do you have Probable cause to prove it's a failure?

$229 for a 38mm Series 1 refurb?
I bought a *brand new* 38mm Series 1 watch last night at Target for $199.
$229 isn't too bad.

They can't get them apple is having low yields on them. I am surprised to see the refurbished models so quick. I suppose they have a glut of return / defective OS models laying around and why not turn a quick buck.I wonder why Target (or any other retailer), don't have sales on the Series 2 watch.
What do you think happens when you put a refurb iPhone up against your face? smhThere seems to be something very unhygienic about wearing a previously owned watch from a stranger on your wrist. Yeah, they can be sterilized, but it's kinda nasty. Eeeew
