This! The "Johny" video is my most favourite part of a product launch. There's just something with his English accent that make me wanna buy whatever he's describing.

I have always been a fan of sapphire on my high-end watches... but on a technological device that will most likely lose most of its value within a few year, no thanks. Not hating, just dismissing. 
Technically you can have 2 sims on the same number or linked numbers on 2 sims. Won't have it of course as the battery life would be shocking.
As for the 1K ... I spent 3k - pounds not dollars on a watch that only has hands. Don't even wear it. Some people spend 100K plus.
Think you are missing the point.
that may be the ugliest mock up thus far. it need to be extremely thin, perhaps even slightly curved. no plug in charger. it need to have a nice band. no plastic snap together crap. a real leather or metal resizable band. i had one of those up bands and lost it because it just kinda wrapped around your wrist. waste of $100+.
I wear an Android Wear during business meetings and it's not embarrassing at all. In fact, meeting with people for the first time it can become an icebreaker and an engagement piece; 100% of inquiries have been positive and truly interested in the watch.
But please, keep assuming.

On Android Wear (and one would assume on iWatch) I have my settings to keep the face off until I gesture to turn the screen on - no face lighting up when I get notifications until I want to look at them.
The real Apple watch is called the pPod. See:

They do this for hundreds if not thousands of potential trademark names, few of which are ever used for real products. For similar reasons, MR was totally convinced a few years ago that Apple would release a product called the "iSlate" -- no matter how obviously awful that name would have been. As before, the iWatch name is a convenient placeholder created by the rumor community to describe a future product that we still know very little about, and it isn't based on any hard evidence about the actual product. But it's been used so much that the tail is now wagging the dog.
pssst... skeuomorphism is dead.Anyone else like the mock up that looks like a real watch better?
I think you just showed the patent for this...

This is the way it should be. Leverage the iPod brand by reinventing it. It won't be just a watch so why call it iWatch. But I would hate to see the end of the iPod classic.

What are you referring to as a skeuomorph on other mocks?
Skeuomorph: a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues from structures that were necessary in the original
Businessboy, much? There is more than Business meetings in this world. Those who have to do these ultra important meetings have the money to buy some 'use for a certain meeting only, 10k US$ and up wristwatch' for the meeting to not embarrass themselves.
God, I hope it looks better than that geeky mock up!
Why not just duct tape a shuffle to your wrist?
Because it really hurts when you take it off.
