Apple Watch Sightings Picking Up Ahead of Official Launch

[viorelgn]

Why would people think that others would care that they don't care? Are they just trying to talk themselves out of getting something they can't afford?

Personally, I'm freaking excited about this!
I noted how Sullivan was impressed that it "had become an essential part of this person's life". Even Tim Cook recently said he "couldn't live without it".
Is that just marketing hype

Yes. And what did you expect Tim to say? "Yeah its not bad but I still prefer my Omega".

Runners will have to wait and see.

I see a lot of people running around with their smartphones strapped to their <insert body part here>s. All they need now is the Apple Watch and a fanny pack to hold their phones now. It'll be *much* better. (seriously)

It will be better because of the security of having it around your waist and not having to take it out and potentially drop it when you have a high heart rate and sweaty hands.

In actuality it will have to be reviewed by runners who are not Usain Bolt or Mo Keflighazi but the majority of runners. Who can then see how it works.

Which is unlike me as I bought a first gen iPhone and 1st gen iPad. But after owning a Galaxy Gear Fit before making my return back to the iPhone, I'm going to have to pass.

I wouldn't compare any Apple first product to a Samsung's, but I can understand your point.
I didn't miss any Apple products, but I'm skeptic about Apple watch. We'll see.

Someone is going to invent a watch band juice pack for these things and make a lot of money.

I honestly bought the Gear Fit hoping to get the best of both worlds. I loved the form factor and the functionality. The pedometer wasn't the most accurate in the world but otherwise it was good. However after a while, the novelty started to wear off. The only way I'd buy an Apple Watch is if it had a proper GPS. I'm looking to buy a Garmin or a Suunto, but would love to buy an Apple Watch instead.

Indeed!
The lack of a dedicated GPS receiver is the no go point for me.

I'm quite tempted by the product but probably it's wiser to wait for the 2nd iteration next year: quirks and bugs willthen be fixed and performance improved.

Same here, i think it will be third generation before we see GPS in it.

I stopped wearing a watch around seven years ago as everywhere I look I can see a clock: in the car, in the house, on my computer, etc. When I did wear one I felt guilty for wasting money if I spent $100 on a watch. $350 is just not going to happen. In addition I just haven't seen any reports of what it's supposed to do that make me even want to consider it. If I had an extra $350+ burning a hole in my pocket I've got better things to spend it on than an accessory for my phone.

well watches are jewelry at this point.


where as this 1st get apple watch is going to be an obsolete device in 12 months.

I can wait. It's been a while since the last time I used a watch.
