I love using "jokes" like yours (where there's no indication if you're joking or not) as a vehicle for obliterating something. You didn't expect this, did ya?It's like you pointed your toy gun at someone as a joke and they pulled theirs and now you're dead.
Try to be factually correct next time in your jokes. The communicator is in your pocket. What's on your wrist is only an external monitor/speaker/mic to that real communicator.
It would have been more funny and factually correct if you replayed Steve's words as "it's not three separate devices... it's TWO separate devices".
Sick burn, bro.
Lately it seems the "marketing team" is a big ahead of the "engineering team".
Oh, right because it is the marketing team that made this watch... Good grief, what do I have to hear!!! BTW, safe crap was heard in 1998, 2002, 2007, 2010.
I'd wager that there's more engineering in this watch than in the Ipod, Ipad and Iphone combined.
You have that right. The smaller the device, the less room to work inside. I have worked on implantable medical devices and we ended up shucking the packaging and going with die on flex-board to get the code running inside the fixture.
I'm quite curious to see how the watch back sensors work with the wrist as sweat builds up. Also, the third party watch strap market is going to be really interesting to see if "cuff" style watch bands support the back sensor with a hole or material
I'm confused.
$350 is expensive for a watch.
$200,000 is NOT expensive for a house. It's laughable. $1,000,000 is the right price for a house.
For 10$ you can keep time
For 350 you may or not be able to do that. But hell, the more TIME we spend trying to make it work will take our minds off REAL LIFE. And that's good, no?

LOL. My house cost me $99,500 in 1998. My $790 mortgage payment is why I have money left over to be able to buy this watch
BBeagle,
A house is anything but an investment. It is a liability and that is the difference between a person with money and a person without. In San Diego a half million will get you a nice little ****** shack in some crap hole but then again what do I know? I am the stupid youth that bought a house an hour away for over a half million. I would say the Apple watch is an investment of time, your time that is. If it takes you an hour to make that much or a week either way he or she is getting a return on that investment. The Apple watch will not be worth more in a year than what you paid for it however, it will provide a diminished return. Everyone trades money for monetary crap. Some of us might spend money to watch a movie at a theater and in return it provides us with a few hours of entertainment. The future return is paid in entertainment, happiness, and time saved in this case. If the youth of today chose to make poor investments then again it is their choice. I can tell you that many adults made poor decisions that led to the housing crisis in 2008 and they all thought they were making an investment. These are the same morons who voted for change, what they thought was a smart investment in the white house was a socialist moron that redistributes wealth. The lesson to be learned is don't spend money you don't have.
I realize some statements above may have been a reach and are my personal opinion. If you dont like it just move on and get over it.
A timepiece. A communicator. A fitness tracker.

Are you getting it? These are not three separate devices. This is one device.
Honestly, that's how they should have introduced it, but Time Cook is hopelessly nothing like Steve Jobs.

Just when I thought this might be the only place where I didn't have to listen to Obama-bashing by a right wing dufus. About the only thing that annoys me more than Apple bashing. Disappointing.
Don't kid yourself... this is a product for conspicuous consumption. Nothing more.
It solves no problems whatsoever. It lasts only a day on a charge. It's another throwaway piece of garbage from "green" apple.

Speak for yourself. I don't need to impress anyone. Insecure people do that. What I DO need is a way to tell time and check messages while I'm traveling without needing to dig my phone out of my purse while I'm dragging my luggage through the airport. If I need to buy a watch anyway, why not one that does more than just tell time? Just because YOU don't have the need for it doesn't make it useless. What's the big deal about charging it every night? I'm not using it while I sleep so it may as well be doing something.
Funny that the Timekeeping page says: "When. It even alerts you when you need to leave to get to your next appointment on time." - How come when Apple Maps does not have bicycle as an option. How will it then know at what time I need to leave on my bicycle?
And how will et ever track fitness, when health app does not show bike distance?
Just asking. They hopefully do not mean by manually setting fixed warnings by 15 minutes, 30 minutes etc. - because that would not be necessary with today's technologies and that is not how long it may take.

That kind of niche functionality is what apps are for.

Again, does this expensive watch do the very basic task of changing the time automatically when you cross time zones or for DST? No. Does anyone in the world ever use the tachymeter around the edge?
2017: With our newest 'complication' AppleWatch now uses your health data to perfectly predict exactly how much TIME you have left before you die. Concepts like AMY and PMD have no meaning in the new world, where TIME is a truly individualized experience. Choose from options like "countdown to reincarnation" or "watch yourself fade into dust." Of course the haptic feedback options of AppleWatch also allow AppleWatch to help you truly experience what it is like to grow old and fade away.
