LOL at that insanity. If that is truly Apple's model for the use of its wristwatch, the executive team is even dumber than I thought.

Oh Really! I would have never guessed Apple would be announcing specific details about the shipping version of its watch before pre-ordering starts. :roll eyes:
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the Roomba went away after you purchased one and deemed it unworthy. Truth is, iRobot is many generations in with multiple Roomba models, and they're very highly reviewed. amazon link
The watch probably isn't for you, and that's okay! No one will force you to buy one, and your laptop and phone will continue to do just fine for you.

no, you don't get to turn this around and make it about YOU and your OPINION again (the general 'you'). that was his point. Apple - arguably the best mobile/tablet/computer maker in the world, catering to hundreds of millions of people with an industry-topping high satisfaction rate - aren't going to stop what they're doing and cater to the ridiculously low minority of people with 'problems'. or 'opinions' about how 'crap' an unreleased product is or will be.
NO TECH COMPANY WOULD, COULD, OR SHOULD.
that's what returns, repairs, and customer service is for.
oh, and voting with your wallet. so do so.
Just in the first quarter; probably limited by yield and availability. There will probably be a thread on this forum about "I just got my
Watch" for months and months well into the late summer.I wonder if anyone has ever tabulated how reliable this analyst actually is. He sure gets a lot of play on MacRumors. Some of what he says is just plain obvious, though.

I agree, yield might be the factor holding back sales rather than the demand for it- which should be very high. Can't wait to get one on my wrist for sure, plus any friends or co workers want one too. Roll on March.

Why wear a watch in the shower? That's a need?? Guess u don't have a fancy clock in your bathroom like I do. Besides, shower time is relaxing time and for me, I don't watch the clock when I'm in it.
1. There is not such thing as an 'iWatch', it is called 'Apple Watch'.
2. Seriously, where on earth do people hear these things? No, of course it cannot project holograms.
I agree! This site seems to be the center of people who think they're the center of the universe but turned out just to be a bunch of whiners.
I have that time capsule and all the iOS devices - Various Mac pros inc new one - Macbook air and retina plus a Mini 2012.
No drop outs or issue here. I wonder if it's a component part in some of those Time capsules then?

What part of "vibrating alarm so I don't wake up my partner." don't you get?
It never used to be, but the influx of new members who know next to nothing about tech and use the forums as a chance to slag off Apple and big up Android is getting really annoying.
Kuo said it? Then it must be true!
Unless he made a statement on the weekend, this 'rumour' is simply combining two earlier posts --simply for clicks...which I know I'm contributing to.
You're mistaken. The issue is refusal to get on hold with technical support for a vacuum cleaner meant to replace a vacuum that required no support. Same for a watch.

I see a lot of people here stating that they are waiting out for the second or even third gen Apple watch. Would it also be smart to wait out for the 2nd or 3rd gen retina macbook air? I remember when the 1st air came out, it was outrageously priced and had mixed reviews, however in subsequent generations, it only got better. Also, I too and begging to think that the 12 inch Macbook Air and iPad pro are the same thing. Makes sense for Apple to get into this market as Microsoft has been doing exceptionally well in this area with the Surface tablets. Just makes too much sense to me.
Someone posted earlier that being able to try on what is to many quite a personal taste on their wrist (aka a piece of jewellery as opposed to a piece of tech), is going to be interesting. In the likes of a department store you look at a say £200 watch behind glass, ask an assistant and try it on.
This is rather a different model to an apple store where the goods are on display but with significant locks on them. Ensuring people can try them on without having a massive lock on the underside for example will be interesting..
I'm still on the fence on this one... The compromise of the display not being always on to battery life might be annoying. I've switched my Garmin vivosmart back off from this feature; 1) it drained the battery quicker from all the times I lifted up my arm not to tell the time, and 2) the number of times it didn't actually work when I did lift it up to look at it was too many. That said I've had notifications on my wrist for nearly a year now and I like it a lot - being able to action those notifications would make it better. I do wonder whether I should just get a pebble for a year and watch what happens...

You'd think aside from size this is an area Apple should have a reasonable grasp over. I know I'm glossing over the fact of dropping a retina screen in a thin case, but you'd hope this one would work.
If I hadn't got this MBP last year I would be all over this new Air like a rash.

Do some people really wear their watch in the shower? Are they just trying to time themselves?
I can understand if someone argued about being to wear a watch while swimming, but the purpose of a shower to scrub every little dirt off your body. Wearing any accessory would get in the way of that that task no?

Love this post! It's so indicative of what's wrong with people these days. Let's take a closer look -
You need to wear this in the shower. You NEED to wear this in the shower. NEED. hahahahaha...really? Do you really?? Oh my god.
You also NEED to wear this while sleeping and have a vibrating alarm. What happens if you don't wear this while sleeping? I mean, what's happening to you now, how are you possibly surviving!?
You NEED a 36 hour battery life so you can wear it at night. Now, I don't know what part of the world you live in, but the night does not last 36 hours.
I hope you examine your 'needs' closely and re-evaluate. Bottom line is, if you genuinely need this stuff - you are in serious trouble and headed for massive disappointment.
I'll certainly keep an eye on that MBA. Twelve South's new stand seems like it might work with my physical issues and having a light weight computer with a retina screen would be great.
The interesting thing is that people actually seem to think that Apple has to choose one or the other. Like releasing the Apple Watch is what all thousands of Apple employees are doing right now.
I'm curious about the Apple watch, but I know I won't be buying one until there is GPS built in, until it has better battery life, until it is proven to be a successful product, etc.
In terms of the MacBook, TAKE MY MONEY!

Same here i wouldn't buy one unless it had GPS built in, but then it would have to be a lot bigger and heavier because it would have to have a much larger battery as GPS uses a lot of power. So i think it will be a few generations in before i get what i want, all GPS watches are massive. To combine GPS with a fully functioning wrist computer and keep it small and light, Apple will really have to move technology along if the are to achieve that.
The limitations would be charging circuit and amp output of the charger. Not sure why other devices would take 2h? There is absolutely no reason why it should take the same time to charge a phone with a battery 6 times larger, no electrical engineering reason at least.
