The first iPhone? Really??? I don't think so. EVeryone new it was the best phone in the world and it was going to revolutionize everything, the only complain was the price being a little high but even that didn't stop people praising the phone.
Got a tip for us?

Not great, but manageable. I would prefer of course 16 GB and more space for music. Actually I intended to buy the watch for running as one of the main usages, basically as a running iPod. My nano top click button stopped working. Btw - same happened on my iPhone 4$.
You will be able to do just that
Lunoid is going to be leasing them.
How to rent the Apple Watch before buying it
What would the iPhone 6 and 6+ had cost with a sapphire screen?
16GB for $499 with a two year plan? Even more??
8GB storage for $350 LOL yup... way overpriced.
if the watch is $100 then i'll buy one for my kid.
I think it's RARE for someone to carry their phone with them in the gym. Usually their phone is left in their car or the gym locker, and not out on the floor.
I thought it was great too, but the torrent of whining and complaints on here was rampant. It really was no different than the tone of this thread. (Unfortunately.)

The only point of this device, it seems, is to save you a couple of seconds over taking your iPhone out of your pocket. It adds nothing and is useless without a phone anyway.
I really don't get this one, Apple.

But third-party WatchKit apps aren't even stored on the watch (at least in the current OS/WatchKit iteration). They run on your phone.
And even in the future when they do, it's hard to imagine even hundreds of Watch apps filling 6GB! The only Phone apps that need that kind of space are games and other media-heavy items that won't be practical on the Watch anyway.
I bring my phone to the gym and so do a most other people. I use it to play or stream music, I just use one of those arm bands instead of stuffing it my pocket.
Assets for third-party Watchkit apps such as images and screen layouts ARE stored on the watch. All the code to control these is run on the phone.
Since anyone who has an iPhone has it with them all the time, your comment makes no sense.
The GMT-116769TBR runs $485,350, however, I don't ever plan on being in a rap video.
the storage for photos is decent too. the images are resized for the watch screen size when uploaded, i'd bet most images are not even 100k.
Huh? Both the Beats and the Bose Soundlink bluetooth headphones are excellent. Guess you haven't looked around enough...
How could someone complain about the iPhone? Multitouch was obviously going to revolutionize everything, it was brand new technology!. It's like if Apple introduce a Flying car today, would people seriously complain? lol.
Why does the fact that Apple offers a high end option indicate that they have lost touch with the common folk?
Ford sold a $300,000+ Aston Martin before spinning off that business unit, does that mean Ford lost touch with the common folk during that period?
So many people are down on bluetooth headphones.
There are excellent bluetooth headphones on the market. Are they as good as wired? No. But they are great for running where perfect audio quality is not important.
My hope is some of that extra space is being used for processing dictation on the watch. Mavericks uses about 1 GB for enhanced dictation. Shortening lag with Siri would be great.

No it was criticized and heavily. Everyone loved the multi-touch interface but it lacked a lot of key functionality on Gen 1. It had Edge not 3G, no cut and paste, no MMS, no ability to download apps, nasty keyboard that took a lot of getting used to, slow web browser that wouldnt show flash (understandably so) but left large vacant blocks on webpages.
People could see it had a future but it was going to take one or two generations to take off. They sold hardly any at the $500 price point until it was lowered to $399 with contract. iPhone 3G and 4 was probably where it really took off. Apps gave the iPhone its true lease of life.
Its not far off where the Watch is at now except it can download apps which will save it.
Unfortunately, if Apple released a flying car there would be a lot of complaining on here. But that's my whole point: people didn't realize just how much the idea of the modern-day smartphone would revolutionize the way they communicated and received information, just like most posters in this thread apparently feel about the Apple Watch today. But in three years, they will understand.
I'm saving the link to my statement above and I will re-surface it in three years. Not in an effort to say I told you so, but simply to show folks that sometimes it's hard to understand what it is you need, when you don't even know that you need it yet. That is where Apple really shines: they are pushing us towards the future...

Not purposely. I didn't know he had that joke.
I am a fan though... and I think like that.
The WatchKit SDK that's been released is pretty limited -- 3rd-party apps run on the phone and the Watch acts as a remote UI... so 3rd-party apps require a phone and have very limited access to the Watch's capabilities.
But Apple has already said they will release an extended SDK that allows for native 3rd-party apps. At that point you'll see Spotify and podcast apps (Apple might release a native podcast app sooner though).
Honest to God anybody who purchases the 17K Edition model is either 1- A Fool, or 2- A rich jerk, or 3- A combination of both.
Seriously, it does the same thing as the Sport model does and you know 2 years from now (Maybe even by next year) this model is going to be completely and totally obsolete (hey iPad 1st gen!)
