Hyperbole much? What a miserable life. Geez, if you don't like it and don't want it then don't buy it. What's the problem?
The product isn't for you. My wife and I can't wait to buy one. It will be perfect for us.
Heart Rate Sensor still exists on the watch, as per Apple's website.

. Well played.I'm envious you live in such an esteemed neighborhood to have Kroes in your presence. Sure does beat the old coot lobbyists that live near me.
Does he have to own one to know that she can look at it and get the time? It's a PHOTO in a PHOTOSHOOT. Some of you need to be medicated.
Where do you even see nixed heart monitor while running? The heart rate sensor and accelerometer is on the watch itself and
currently advertised on their web site in the watch info.
--- This is the info about health features on Apple's site, notice there is no mention of the Iphone at all except for the GPS/Wifi combo. Apple's health application runs straight on the watch.

- Heart rate sensor. The custom heart rate sensor in Apple Watch can help gauge your intensity during workouts to improve overall calorie tracking.
- Wi-Fi and GPS. Apple Watch uses the GPS and Wi‑Fi in your iPhone to help measure the distance you travel during the day or during workouts that cant be measured in steps, such as cycling.
- Accelerometer. The Apple Watch accelerometer measures total body movement, counts your steps and calculates your calories burnedthroughout the day.
So, If you don't want to buy the watch and you don't think its worth it, don't buy it. But, at least stick to the actual facts.
He was responding to saying the watch worked great without the phone, how does he know unless he owns one? That was his point.
You and facts are like oil and water. You really shouldn't tell others to "stick to facts" when you continuously make up ****.
You seem to be interpreting that as me saying that the watch, as it is now, is not useful and that everyone who buys it are stupid and should buy something else. You've put a lot of words in my mouth there, and made a completely different argument than what I was even making... like not even close. I'm commenting on the price to functionality value.
Basically with the Apple Watch, you're buying what is essentially a viewport into your iPhone that also happens to have minimal music storage and bluetooth. I can't help but compare it to a beefed up iPod Nano 6th generation with bluetooth and no headphone port. Obviously thats an exaggeration. But Apple Watch literally costs $200 more than that... which is insane. The iPhone is doing almost all the work. But I already paid for that once.
You didn't see an "iWatch" of course because it's called "Apple Watch". Please let's not start this again like some did with "iTouch".

I'm not sure with this particular picture it would be considered advertising for Apple. I mean, be honest about it. While the watch is eye-catching would anyone that is not in tune with Apple products even know that was an Apple Watch? Doubtful.
Just because millions of people may initially buy and wear these watches doesn't mean they will ultimately succeed in the market. It's not particularly stylish in my opinion and actually looks a bit clunky.
I can see Apple taking away or holding back functionality from the iPhone and adding it to the Apple Watch just to keep it afloat--because there's not much going for it now.
Apple has NOT nixed the Heart rate monitor (or any other monitor that they ANNOUNCED). What other lies do you want to spout?

We have measures in place for dealing with that.
iTouch vs iPod touch.
I'm not sure if I want the Apple Watch or Candice more
You'll have a much higher chance getting a hold of the watch.
EXACTLY!
And those people who say Apple fans are buying that Apple watch because it's shiny and has an Apple logo are COMPLETELY WRONG. There is no visible Apple logo on the Apple watch, and nothing to tell everyone 'I'm wearing an Apple Watch' - so it's not going to get 'sheep' to buy it because of any of those myths. People buying it actually WANT it.
They wanted me for that "SELF" cover, you know.
But when they wouldn't go for my layout idea of me sprawled-out on a couch,
bloated and satiated after eating 1 1/2 Little Cæsar's sausage pizzas,
a whole Sara Lee blueberry cheesecake & a quart of ice cold milk,
I, unfortunately, had to turn them down due to a scheduling confict.
Oh, yeah: "Interstellar" stinks.

The build quality is different (and specifically made as a watch), the watch does more off the bat (and when third party run on it in the second part of the year, it will do even more) and you're still not forced to buy it. Not sure what else to say but that. The smaller watch is 1/3 smaller than the Ipod nano (non beefed edition).
The pricing is completely in line with all previous Apple pricing (though, their margins here is probably 50-55% rather than 40%.

Are you here only to spread misinformation or do you actually believe what you are writing?
