I'd like to know why they would unveil something that would be lucky to ship within 5 months... have a special event or something..
It was the same for the original iPhone

Does anyone else think it is funny that Apple took a motor that vibrates just like any other electronic watch, and named it a special thing, the Taptic? Marketing at its finest. ;-)
Agreed. Apple is a marketing MONSTER.
People will buy ANYTHING they put out (well, almost anything) because Apple knows how to make people WANT it.
That said, it's not all marketing, the product quality and attention to detail is certainly there, even if all the "specs" aren't.
Can we get a bendable watch?

Did the original iPhone bend?
Haters will find a way to bend this watch....JS
Has everyone forgotten that the new Mac Pro wasn't released for over 6 months after it was announced? Why is this so terribly surprising?

Fanboys will stuff it down their pants and text themselves for a buzz !
What I'd like to know is why do Apple announce products if they aren't ready for shipment?
They should wait until stock is ready and in stores etc.
Every generation is subpar when compared to the generation that follows it. If you're going to wait for 2, might as well wait for 3. The Apple Watch 2 is subpar compared to it.![]()
Good idea. Let's hope the 2nd gen won't bend/crack/etc.Which means I will be getting one in Feb/Mar 2016 (going to wait for second generation)

They should wait until stock is ready and in stores etc. And just prior to that they could have had an Apple Watch event a week prior to it going on sale, similar to iPhone. I think that by the time theWatch is available some people may have lost interest in it or rather the hype around it would have worn off.
Or if they could have made it available for the Christmas holidays then people would be snapping them up in time for Christmas. Most people are broke after the holidays thus sales will most likely be lower.
I was really surprised to read that the demo watches were just screen shots. I mean if Watch OS was working on the demo model used at the launch event then why not on the demo watches shown to the public?
Well anyway, perhaps if the watch isnt availble by Valentines day then maybe the Easter bunny will deliver it at Easter?![]()
Some generational gaps are big though. The iPad 1-->2 was huge and the iPad 2 can still run the latest OS (whereas the iPad 1 has been cut off for a few iterations). If based on history, waiting for the 2nd edition is wise with Apple.
All of them do if you press hard enough.
Meh...gonna wait for the Watch2.
Apple's first gen devices are always subpar i.e. iPod1...iPhone...iPad1.
I don't personally find this true. The iPad 2 was a great upgrade from the iPad 1, but the first compelling upgrade from the iPad 2 was the iPad Air. The iPad 3 and 4 were simply not overall superior to the 2, not in a way that a 2 buyer would've felt like he should have waited (iPad 2 longevity shows this to be true, too).
The iPod Shuffles had some back-and-forths where Apple couldn't decide if they wanted physical buttons or not. The Nanos had a similar identity crisis with overall size and some other features.
Even iPhones are debated due to screen size increases and users who actually like smaller screens.
