They are making us watch all this Apple Watch stuff first because most people would quit the video after the iPhones section if they talked about that first.
$799? Cheaper than I thought it would be.
Cool features, but is there really that large of a customer base that wants an Apple Watch for deep sea diving or running across the Sahara? I’m obviously not the target — just wondering why they didn’t market toward more “attainable” adventure sports.

That's because I work at apple .i'm the one choosing the prices . How much do you want the iphone 14 pro for ?
honestly i'll probably never buy it ,but for these specs and features,799 is decent. Probably going to be 950 euros in europe tho
This is the Hummer model for the urban crowd. Never leaves the pavement.
But what about current watch bands
ANDDDDD OLD BANDS ARE COMPATIBLE!!!!! WHHOOOOHOOOOO

anyone else over aspirational marketing or just me? 
My wife, for starters.
She runs marathons. She has had an Apple watch die out before she has finished; when you use the heart rate tracking, music playback, etc 4 hours seems to be the limit.
Apple is marketing this to extreme sports folks, but plenty that just run will want this as well for the battery life alone.
Nice watch, godawful bands. Hopefully there will be some third-party options.
How is that night mode feature supposed to work? Raise wrist, watch lights up and blinds you, then turn crown to dim?

This looks neat. And the price is lower than I thought, tbh.
I'm not in the market for one, though. I'm happy with my S6 and I'm sure it'll last me a good while longer.

Interesting. Wasn't expecting a watch geared toward athletes. I was hoping for one made for professionals or ones who wanted more function from the watch. Nice larger screen though.
