Most everything is still ANT+
Yes I sync my data to garmin connect, training peaks, and strava. It also syncs with myfitnesspal
Not much bluetooth devices for bikes. It will get there but it's not there yet
HealthKit is a mess now but again it hopefully will get there as well.
For a serious athlete u would use training peaks for analysis of effort . It's charts and graphs formulas etc
It's not for the casual person
They're going to have a problem selling these in an Apple store. A lot of the stores today are way overcrowded, and it's very, very difficult to get the attention of a blue shirt.
I imagine these being sold in a more store-in-a-store area that's substantially more relaxed than a normal Apple store...especially for the ultra-expensive versions - with real salespeople. Nothing against the Apple store workers, but these things aren't going to sell themselves at the high end the way that iPhones and Macs do.

Well don't be so quick to judge saying that I am not a true cyclist. Because u don't know me for one. I do have a Garmin 500. HR monitor. Speed/Cadence sensor. Power meter. All equip on my 2014 CAAD10 black Andized DI2 equip bike. What I need the Apple watch for is mostly notification & accepting calls etc. while on my bike. Where has most time I would have to stop take my phone out my jersey pocket just to see who called, and if I need to return that called espcailly if it's Family being my wife, important business calls etc. Don't have to stop when me the guys are out on training rides, with the Apple watch I can do everything by giving Siri comand right from my watch. Also it would help me in the gym while doing core workouts,To monitor HR Etc. And I think u need to watch the keynote for the Apple watch and not iwatch again if you haven't do so already, and tell if it's not gear for people with active life style like athletes etc. All can benifit from the Apple watch in many ways.
It's weird but...
The longer I wait for this watch, the less I want it. I was hyped at first, but that hype is fading fast.

So, one month makes that much difference? Maybe you didn't really want it or need it...
I like your setup! I'm looking at a cervelo p3 with di2 - I'm not sure if the added cost adds rider benefit
I also ride a caad10 sram w/ Reynolds assault with powertap
So back to the watch
I do see that notifications are helpful but it's really not related to your riding is it? Just convenience of not pulling out your phone from your jersey.
I couldn't imagine using the watch riding with a peloton. We move too fast and you need to be concentrating on that wheel in front of you.
I never take calls - it would be dangerous.
And I wouldn't want to get dropped thus losing the group to make a call.
We have different priorities is all.
When I ride it's me and the group
----------
Nobody needs the watch lol
There is nothing to refute in your "claims", just nonsense, and they speak volumes
We'll see what happens after Spring.

As a data point, my wife was thinking about getting one of the Rose Gold Rolexes and is holding off until the appleWatch shows up.
Apple isn't selling the appleWatch at you, which is why it makes no sense to you. It's like trying to sell a Mac to a DIY PC builder - it's impossible.
I'm a serious cyclist, have a bike computer and still buying an Apple iWatch.

"Correct a Mun Dough"
That's exactly what I do.

I'll be waiting . . . perfect timing for my birthday!
Tim likes your critical choices.
Blind faith in a product that has yet to come to fruition or what possible purpose it may have & you already have committed to purchasing.
Jim Jones approves!

Have you checked out training peaks?
You can record your metrics there

Constantly complaining of a product you dislike in a forum of people who like a product, contesting their motivation as somehow less authentic than yours is definitively a sign of OCD and delusion of grandeur.
LOL. The guy who predicted Apple would never go above $1000 without any evidence is going to be wrong. We'll see who's man enough to admit it.
We disagreed about two things:
- The pricing of the watch (which I indeed said would not go beying $1000).
- The impact of the Apple Watch on the high end watch market (I predict it to have no major effect on sales of Rolex, Patek, Panerai etc).
I have no issue with being wrong. The issue is (and judging from the posts in this and other threads I'm not the only one) that we are consistenty presented by you with your opinion that is stated as fact. As soon as anyone comments or reacts to that by asking for backup or explanation they are aggressively attacked.
This is a discussion board, so no need to present scientific facts only, but is there really a need to approach everyone so aggressively here? Why do you do that?

Where does it state that THIS forum is only for positive posts or only for people who like Apple products?
Sounds like you need an
group hug... You might want to check your thought process in regards to analytical review of a post in which your reply is insincere.
Your post added nothing to my reply or thread, which was an observation of how some people will do and say anything for a cooperation like it's their immediate family.
