I'm not looking for the spec sheet details, I'm questioning the business decision telling me I can't have a double tour band with a 42 mm sized watch.
According to Mark Gurman we might see new bands or new partnerships this spring but no new watch until the fall.
Wow is this thing ugly ...I've been saying that since these smartwatches were first introduced. Thankfully a company was listening to my ply as one by the name of Kario has introduced such a watch. Though it quite doesn't have the app collection the Apple Watch has, it contains everything that I could possibly need. The Kario is mechanical watch with an LCD display overlay and it's even quite nice looking with many styles to choose from, I bought the silver one you see below. There is also a smart-band option available that adds even more functionality, you can also buy the T-Band, the name of the smart-band, separately and add it to another third party watch, I have one on my Tag Huer Monaco. Anyway, check them out, I absolutely love mine and unlike these other smartwatches, you don't have to charge it every night, in fact it lasts between 3 - 4 days. This has got to be the biggest problem I had with my Apple Watch before returning it, I just couldn't own a watch that doesn't last at least a few days, let alone a full day. Which is what I experienced with my Apple Watch before I returned it, not once did it make it through an entire day with what I believed to be moderate use.

You hit the nail right on the head... I have a friend who knows a friend who has a second cousin who didn't like the apple watch so they gave to me and I hated it. Who would buy one of these things? Why would Apple make one and take over the market share in 6 months? Let's call anyone who buys an Apple Watch some degrading name. Stupid Apple made about a billion dollars in 9 months selling the crappy apple watch. How dare they do this? Steve Cook has grown Apple to the largest company in the world and donates all of his money to charities... the nerve. Apple Mac's are growing in sales while every other PC maker is shrinking... terrible marketing skills.
It wraps around the wrist twice. It's for women. Hermes has sold a similarly designed quartz watch for about 20 years now.
make them RED... then I atleast could look at someone wearing then as little less an *******. Not exactly the best looking watch yet, but I like the idea of the screen over a mechanical watch.I've been saying that since these smartwatches were first introduced.

A couple years ago I bought a pair of black suede boots for $250. I love them wear them all the time but the wear and tear is starting to become more and more noticeable. This might be the last year I get out of them. But I got three years of enjoyment so it was worth it. This idea that something has little to no value because it doesn't last forever is ridiculous. I have lots of expensive things in my closet that I never wear anymore because they've gone out of style. But I don't consider them wasted purchases. I have an Watch now. I probably will get the new one when it comes out and hand mine down or sell it. It won't be a wasted purchase because I've gotten enjoyment and value out of the device the entire time I've been using it.
Compared to this, the pricing isn't bad:
[doublepost=1453620142][/doublepost]I would like to see a sterling silver Apple Watch (it's about 40 times cheaper than gold). I think gold is gaudy and $12k is ridiculous. A sterling watch with an optional sterling link bracelet.
As reported earlier in the week, the special edition Apple Watch Hermès collection today became available for purchase online, letting customers purchase the high-end editions from the online storefronts of both Apple and Hermès. The collection comes in ten models, all branching off of three band varieties -- the Single Tour, Double Tour, and Cuff -- and was introduced by Apple at its September iPhone event.
Each model of the Hermès collection includes a stainless steel Apple Watch case, and gives users a unique Hermès clock face for the wearable device. The pricing for the collection begins with the Single Tour band for $1,100, Double Tour for $1,250, and Cuff for $1,500. The Single Tour is the only one of the collection available in both 38mm and 42mm case sizes, with the Double Tour exclusively sold in 38mm and the Cuff only available in 42mm.
To purchase one of the Apple Watches in the Hermès collection, visit the online store of Apple or Hermès.

While this decision does seem a little desperate on Apple's part, it's a move they can make without consequences. Now being the 800 lb. Gorilla they are, Apple is immune to the outcome of any side project as small as this.
