Lol. Photos on a watch.
Yeah, really. How do you show people photos on your watch? Shove your arm in their face so they can NOT see the picture due to the puny screen?
What an effing joke.

It blows my mind that the $350 version and the $17K version have the exact same tech specs. I realize the price is directly related to the fashion factor. It's just weird to see a gadget that does the same exact job across the board regardless of price, aside from the screen size which is a surprisingly modest price increase.

It's the same every time Apple introduces something.
They complained. Very vocally
You nailed it right on the head. A friend asked if she should buy one now and I told her to wait until gen 2 and let other people beta test the 1st gen watch.

A bottle of wine for $6 or $1000 still contains the same grapes, water and alcohol. Still does the same thing. But the prices vary widely.

It's ridiculous that the cheapest standard Apple Watch is a whole 200 dollars more expensive than the Sport edition.
Seriously, you get sapphire and stainless steal. That's it.
Apple are marketing these for all it's worth, like it's such a luxury thing. Meanwhile, in the watch industry, steel and sapphire glass is completely standard even for very cheap watches in the 100-200 dollar segment. Nothing special about it, and nothing to warrant such a big price hike.
The Sport Edition is the only Apple Watch that can even resemble value for money.
different grapes, different regions, different harvests, different aging...list goes on.
Not even close. The Shuffle has a headphone port. And that's why for music the shuffle wins.
Even if you don't have the phone in your pocket, photos on such a screen are a ridiculous idea.
might be the same type of grapes. You can get a Merlot for $6 or $1,000.
Yes, they're aged differently, picked differently, come from different regions where the climate is different, etc. which affects all aspects of the wine.
But it's still grapes, water and alcohol.
But then why not connect the headphones to your phone's bluetooth connection, and get access to a much wider range of music?
What high roller would want to show up at the big hangout when everyone else is wearing Rolexes, Tag Heuers, Patek-Phillipes, etc, wearing a toy watch? I'll tell ya who: the one that wants to scream "Look at me, I'm a DORK". A rich dork, but still a dork.

You would think so many people on an Apple board wouldn't be so clueless about Bluetooth. Also, the hilarity of headphones plugged into a watch. Why is there no headphone jack? Um, the diagnostic port is barely the size of a human hair and a headphone plug is about half as long as the watch.
I can't believe people still don't get that we are moving to a wireless world. An Apple Watch paired up with Bluetooth headphones beats the crap out of a shuffle you have to hold and wires dangling everywhere on your run.
Plus the watch is gathering health data for you at the same time. Have people lost any sense of vision these days? The user experience is multiple times greater than what we had with the shuffle & wired headphones or bringing along a bulky phone.
Ummm, wouldn't it be more feasible to pair some BT headphones with your iPhone and use the watch as a remote control?
Sure, that doesn't work independently of the phone, but since almost everything else doesn't either...

It's not for "people" it's for YOU. It's to get a quick glance at your wife, kids, dog, etc. It's part of the "personal" motif that surrounds the watch. I will personally use it to get a quick glance of my westie and my wife during my commute.
God, why are people such nasty cretins? Take a simple thing like photos and try to twist it around to be a negative...

No offense, but that is one of the poorest analogies I have read here for a long time.
Why? Can't you buy a bottle of wine for $6 and another for $1,000? There really isn't much difference.
I've drinken bottles of $1,000 blanc de blanc wine. Yes, it's better than $6 wine, but only marginally so. In no way $994 better.

Right, and a Lamborghini and a Smart Car are the same. And a Mac Pro is the same as a Chromebook.
Well if you want all the features of your Apple Watch you need your bulky phone also.
So this thing has no audio jack. Is the idea I pair it with my bluetooth headphones, and can then listen to much through the watch rather than the phone? I wonder if/when there will be support for the Podcasts app or Spotify.
