Nobody will, the iPod was pap, so was the iPhone.
Look how that went
Obviously another Mac user exasperated with the increasing prioritization of fashion over functionality at Apple for over a decade. Valid reaction.
I'm curious about this launch and look forward to seeing how real-world use cases pan out.
I have a few friends who have taken the plunge and I've worn a watch since my early teens (30+ years) yet none of these "smart" watches have me longing for one.
I prefer Android to iOS for my phone but have other Apple devices in the house. As a tech enthusiast (geek), these watches have me more curious than anything.
I own several Victorinox watches and have always been fascinated by the actual mechanical elements that conventional watches hide inside their casings. Somehow, replacing all those miniaturized gears, springs, screws and other bits with silicone seems unfulfilling. Kinda like when CGI gets over-used in moves over practical effects.

I totally get that. It will affect what I want to buy that's for sure. I will still want it though.
I would agree but since everything is digitized and automatic, there really is no need to adjust clocks anymore (in the traditional sense). It all happens automatically....
Has this officially been said by Apple? I can understand having only one being able to be connected at a time but if your first Apple Watch ran out of battery power and lost its Bluetooth connection with your iPhone I don't see why you couldn't then connect a second Apple Watch. That and more money for Apple if people do this, so I'm not seeing why there would be a restriction.
OH YESSS !!! So much new stuff the next 2 weeks. Soon Microsoft unleashes new phones (next week) and on 1. March Samsung Galaxy S6 and now Apple Watch :-O
Im soon going to get SO MUCH NEW stuff :-D

Yeah. Except Pebble used the tag line "It's time" for their announcement on the 24th...
Pretty sure it'll be starting at 5PM in the UK as US clocks go forward the day before so time difference will be 7hrs instead of usual 8.
If you add the event to your calendar from http://www.apple.com/live/, you'll see it goes in for 5-7pm
Here's what we'll see at this event:
Pretty much confirmed: Apple Watch final production version
Very likely but not confirmed: 12" MacBook Air with Broadwell CPU technology and Apple's new music stream service derived from the old Beats Music service.
Maybe: 12+ inch (diagonal) iPad Pro and new iPod touch models using the iPhone 6's 4.7" display, maybe Touch ID, and 32, 64 and 128 GB of local storage

Record the stream and then replay it 3 weeks later.

Big watches are in style. My guess is that they will focus first on improving the battery life.
I just want an updated Macbook Pro Retina 15! 32gb ram support!
Im using about 13gb of the 16 available when compiling code on the go
I don't think the chips from intel to replace the ones in the MBPs are shipping yet
when apple sells 4k devices?? aka not any time soon
12" Retina Air come to Papa (I just returned my 13" Air for this...about time)
I am surprised more people aren't talking about this. I am super stoked to see the new fanless retina Air with Core M.
I just finished reviewing a fanless asus ux305. pretty cool device, but overall disappointment, I know apple (and other manufacturers). can do better.
I am real curios how thin the rMBA will be, and what resolution? and what it will cost at
Before the year ends, not the end of the year. Also, I think they were referring to when they'll have most of Europe covered. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll find out march 9.
And Apple tries to make most products light. The SS and Edition watches are not light (by design). This isn't like most Apple products. And most traditional watches aren't obsessed with being thin.
This is Apple, and these aren't traditional watches. You may be right, time will tell.
