I thought you meant the Casio. The Apple watch isn't even waterproof, so gasoline is out of the question.
Exactly my point

Exactly my point
because unlike Apple Watch, andriod wear has been out for a while and people know how it will look. Just like a TV companies don't have to show the TV playing Titanic to sell.
Only if Apple can actually let people test out their watch.
in that extend, does that mean everyone who produces TV (and car now) are "following" Apple because there's some unconfirmed rumor that Apple is working on it? COme on fanboys, let's not go crazy here
Exactly - I wrote the same thing earlier.
----------
Everyone has a different use case and set of preferences. The best watch one can own is the one they enjoy using and fulfills those needs.
Sure you can talk about marketshare, units sold, profits, etc. At the end of the day - an individual shouldn't care about that,
Oh please. Apple's designs are good but not like they are out of this world. There are a lot of good designs out there. IOS and OSX are good but also full of bugs like all software. Again, nothing out of this world.
But marketing is light years ahead of any other company out there.
Sam, this is Macrumors. All we care about is how much profit Apple makes. And market share and units sold only matter when they favor Apple.
Of course it has bugs, like all software, but nothing else has ever offered a UX that was better or that people loved as much.
There are two categories of so called smart watches. Apple and Everyone Else, this latest watch from LG has nothing at all to do with the Apple Watch. It's a competitor to other Android watches only. To highlight the difference, when it comes to watches, unlike this LG model, Apple will not have a gold colour option, they will simply have an 18K gold option.
This is marketing. You're supposed to love people, not inanimate objects. You're love for the product comes from marketing it as more than just a product. Brilliant!
Why would you say Apple doesn't care about specs? They go to the "trouble" of naming them and calling them out on their website. Taptic engine? Retina display? Those are every bit "specs" as the other guy.
----------
This would be remotely funny if Android wasn't a Google product and Google wasn't already testing its car. Seriously?
Why would this be remotely funny?
You sir are touched. Conveniently leaving out the Pebble watch? ffs. I swear fanboys ruin the internet.This.Watch rumors were flying for a while, so Samsung did their "ME FIRST!!!1111" That surely doesn't make Apple the follower. Doesn't necessarily make them the leader, either.
Argument aside, we'll let the sales numbers do the talking for success or failure.
I never get tired of pointing out Apple fanatics and critics alike with this old post. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apples-new-thing-ipod.500/
Tell me which sounds right:Shame LG don't know the difference between flair and flare. Says it all, really...
RTP.
Flare:
High tech sudden brief burst of bright flame or light
High tech gradual widening, especially of a skirt or pants
Flair:
High tech special or instinctive aptitude or ability for doing something well
High tech stylishness and originality
Ok fine, the fourth one fits the best, but maybe the watch doubles as a flashlight or something?
This.
Are you citing the Pebble as an example of an early smartwatch or for it's sales numbers?
yet i am a student with an iPhone 5, iPhone 6, rMbP, iPod Shuffle and an iPad Air 2 and yes they are all paid off. you just have to know where to sell your last gen stuff and pay the difference of about 200 per device. luxury items my ass.
the first iPhone might have been but those days are long gone
LG Watch Urbane how many woman would like this? Ladies?
As of recent the anti-apple people seem to be more fanatic than the fanboys. Love hypocrisy. IF you want to make an educated statement please have significant experience in both. For now that's impossible since the Watch isn't out to the public.
Sooo Watch aside....
This is the 2014 market share of the top 10 smart watches, http://www.smartwatchgroup.com/top-10-smartwatch-companies-sales/
(In the end this will show who likes what the most. Next year we can re visit this and see where Apple falls into this picture.)

My wife was a somewhat emphatic "no"

My point is a watch is more that just the sum of it's tech specs, for most a watch can be a statement, accessory etc.. This being said if women are near 50% of the population then this particular 'LG Watch Urbane' is walking off the starting line with a severe handicap.

These aren't specs. This is marketing. Retina and Taptic are trademarks that signify some unique feature that Apple has that others don't. Specs are quantifiable and easily compared.
It's funny that people fall for this. I remember having a conversation with a friend about the resolution of an iPad. I mentioned that another tablet had higher resolution and the response was the iPad was better because the other tablet wasn't Retina. That is the triumph of marketing.

Gee - they sure like to talk about how thin it is
They sure do speak to the resolution
64 bit architecture sounds like a spec to me
The FPS that the camera is capable of, aperture, pixels.
But no - Apple doesn't care about spec
Sorry, but a circular face for a digital watch is just really really stupid and just reinforces how little thought some companies put into their products.
