All these youtubers are annoying. I’m guessing they don’t buy these as they get them before launch. Get a job and earn your gadgets.

I believe iJustine works for Google actually. She has also been in some TV shows and movies.
 
Off topic but not really... iJustine is so annoying.

I disagree - she is pretty and well spoken and gives a candid honest review I think - This was the first one I watched of hers and I really enjoyed it. So much better than other reviewers who doddle and keep telling you the obvious - she showed some good insight I thought!

Dude. Knock it off with the social media justice warrior stuff. It's called sarcasm. I was being sarcastic.
Got it, but what you wrote still seems true beyond the sarcasm.
Let’s keep it respectful.
 
Makes sense that they’re packaging the Watch band separate from the Watch itself. Makes it easier to ship a huge number of combinations. I’m surprised that the link bracelet has been discontinued. I was planning on getting a black stainless steel with the link bracelet this time.

I was going to write the same! AHAHAHA Annoying AF!

She has the same exact mannerisms and expressions/keywords as that dude who did the bending iPhone 6 videos. I can't remember his name. It's like there's a school of youtube reviewers copied exactly.

I love the packaging this year, especially the little pouch. Can’t wait to receive mine!

iJustine seems to be a “typical California girl”. I have no idea if that’s where she lives (I assume from the camera video I watched), but that’s my impression of her. She doesn’t annoy me and I do like the couple of vids of hers that I watched, but at certain beats, it’s a bit much, like calm down there, sis. I swear in clips from her older vids, it sounded like she had a different accent, almost country slang. Anyway, I’m not a subscriber, but I will watch her iPhone Xs/Series 4 vids given this time of year. I do wish her continued success.
 
Seriously, I'll never understand why (a) people post videos of them unboxing a product - well maybe I do as there's the 'look at me and what I've got'. Though (b) why other people then actually watch them doing it.

If I make a video of me unpacking my weekly groceries will all of you promise to watch? :rolleyes:

On topic the new packaging makes it even more frustrating that it’s not possible to choose your own strap for the watch. I’m receiving my SS 44 mm. tomorrow but don’t want the white strap. They could have made it possible to choose any number of straps when they are packaged separately

Maybe this is the first step towards allowing to choose a different band? Interestingly, if you order a S4 Hermes Watch on the Hermes site, you can choose more/different combinations than in Apple‘s own online store …
 
Oddly enough, I don't find her as annoying as some of the other female YouTubers.

And, I got to look at the gold watch for a very long time. I'm more excited now!

As much as I appreciate the average, dorky dude droning on about specs while not showing me the actual product, a big part of the Apple experience IS the beauty of these products, and I think she does a good job of showing the actual product from a variety of angles.
 
I think the Series 0 Steel box was the best one (not including the $13K Gold ones). Much more premium looking and feeling, you got a plastic case inside the cardboard one which was removable and contained felt.

They reduced it every year, my Series 3 was just card with the felt. Now Series 4 no felt, different sized box no longer a square. I mean do I care? no, would it make me not buy a Series 4? No, of course not. But it's interesting that the watch costs more than ever but the packaging looks cheaper than ever too.

Just my opinion, I've owned a Series 0 and Series 3, both steel.

This comment is the internet equivalent of old man yells at cloud or old man yells get off my lawn.:p:D

Reviewing and commenting about tech literally is their job. I'm sure they earn everything they get... just like you do at your job. They just have different ancillary benefits (early access to tech) than you do with your gig.

Exactly... want a job reviewing tech? Get going on a YouTube personality and get in on the hustle!
 
No one finds it funny and weird that with all the talk for being pro-Earth and eco friendly that the Apple Watch has a bigger retail packaging, materials, and volume than the freaking phone packaging?
 
LOL how funny to read people complaining about the price :) how about you pay 9-10k for a useless Rolex,Breitling etc to look at the time only ? If you compare to those prices and functuality I think Apple Watch is super cheap .You can do more with it

But my Rolex and 2 Breitlings are over 20 years old and still work. Also, they are worth more than when I purchased them.

The difference here, those watches last longer and retain their value. Apple Watch as nice as it is doesn’t. So not really a good comparison when it comes to price vs value.

So not only is the new SS $100 more expensive, they cheaped out on the packaging. That sucks.

Guess I'll keep my S0 box forever, then. Super handy when traveling.
 
In my lifetime I have only watched 2 unboxing videos, and they were accidental as they were included as part of a review I wanted to watch. I never understood the rush or excitement over these things.
