39.

Heavily considering SS model with Blue leather loop and Black sport bracelets. Still considering a space grey aluminum with same noted straps.

The 26-30 and 31-35 demographics were the first to grow up with personal computers in their homes

Nope. I'm a 45 y.o Gen Xer. I had a C64 when I was 12. Used it all through high school w/ a dot matrix printer. To be sure it wasn't a household item like TVs but people had them. My cousin -- so jealous of him -- had an Apple II.

And most schools had some form of a computer lab back in the mid-80s with a mix of TRS-80s, Franklin PC clones, and/or Apple IIs and IICs. At my high school a semester of computer, which included programming in BASIC and LOGO, was required.

Also back in the 80s everyone wore a watch of some kind.
 
Did you play Ultima?

I remember logging hours upon hours on the Ultima series on my Apple IIe

No I was much more of an arcade-type "gamer." Short. Attention. Span. But I did, to my parent's ire, log many long distance hours on BBSes and then GEnie, and finally Compuserve. I swear those last two offered free hours and then counted each one as two. They always went faster than my Dad claimed the bill was for. Evenly he made me unplug the modem. :D

I wasted many hours playing majormud, tradewars, etc on local bbs.
 
The next interesting poll would be age and model. I would expect those in the 26-30 range are probably getting the sport while a good number 40 and older are getting the Stainless Steel.
 
BBS's...those were the days.

I remember when I upgraded from 33k to 56k modem. It was so fast...LOL

I also remember spamming phone companies to get pass codes so one could make free calls from payphones. No me of course.

59, female, getting a 38mm SS with milanese loop.

I'm more excited about this than I was about the iphone or an ipad - probably because it resembles a gadget from science fiction movies of my youth!

That would be interesting. I would fit your predictions. I'm 26 and planning on a Sport model. I'm still thinking about SS with a sport band, but probably will stick with the sport for generation 1.
 
25. I wanted the Space Black SS... but that price. I am still considering a base SS with sport band and future leather loop but due to price am leaning towards the Space Grey Sport with a future upgrade to black leather loop.

In my area it seems like no one even knows about the apple watch which is a little surprising to me seeing as how many people have iphones/macs around me.
