No thanks. I'll save my money for a bigger/better iPad and an upgrade to the 6s. The iPhone 6 hardware is a QC nightmare.
The iwatch does not have that much demand.
why does anyone even want one of these? the only way i'd take one is if i won one for free. The price is absurd for a device with less functionality than a phone, crap battery life, and a chunky boring design. if this thing had turned out to be a wrist cuff with a wrap around screen like the Moment Smartwatch it might have been more compelling![]()
I'm curious how long it will take the device to charge. It would be sweet if Apple could get charging time under 2 hours.
But, they already did

They didn't have the details. I'm expecting something much more meaty now.
For a watch, it better be no more than 1.5 hours
the company is currently planning for a March debut in the initial wave of countries.
Actually if the first gen were waterproof it'd be a BUY for me rather than a... "I'll wait for reviews and maybe even the 2nd gen".
Based on my experience with Apple their first gen products are always crippled in some way and then their 2nd Gen fixes what should have been fixed to begin with. ie iPhone 1 was only EDGE when 3G was already readily available for years. iPod Touch 1 didn't have volume buttons, iPad 1 lacked bluetooth and sufficient RAM.
Prime example being the iPad... it stopped supporting it at iOS5, but the iPad 2 is STILL being supported today at iOS8.
Watch 1 will be like a beta tester's device and 2nd gen will have it down like usual... I still want one though.

I hope the United States is in the initial wave of countries.
But, they already did
I will probably wait for the second gen

I know at least one person that has to have one. My teenage daughter. She's mad because I emphatically told her no. 2nd gen maybe, but definitely not 1st gen. I am a horrible parent because I won't allow her to use Apple Pay (she has no job and wants to use one of my credit cards. Too damn funny) and I won't buy her a Gen 1watch. 1st world, amirite?

Not nearly crippled.
It has been years since Apple released anything before June. Very impressive.
