There is no way the design will appeal to everyone. But I'm sure Apple will hit a sweet spot that sticks well with a broad range of consumers.

Well, mix it with these ideas:

and a bit of this design language when it comes to new materials and machining
And add some good software and capabilities and there you have a killer product

We're not talking about a phone. We're talking about something tiny around your wrist. With battery life.
lol
But, out of all the analyst who throw out predictions, he has been right several times in the past so people pay attention. -I'm NOT saying he's right this time, but he must have a 5% success rate, which compared to others, is outstanding lol.
At this point, who knows what the iWatch, iTime, iWhatever will be or what the specs will be. I'm interested in seeing what they come up with but tend to ignore the rumors. Who knows how many prototypes have been floating around with different specs.

Does anyone have a drawing/rendering of what 1.3 and 1.5 in a circular diameter would look like? Or what's that equivalent to? A quarter,silver dollar? Two sizes sound about right. One for females and one for males maybe? Considering a woman's watch generally has a smaller face than a mens watch.

There is no 38mm sport luxury watch for sale nowadays, not even close, that's ridiculously small. That's why it will be a bracelet as I said if has a 38mm (1,5'') screen
You have to be careful with wearables' materials because of contact dermatitis. One of the reasons jewelry employs relatively inert materials.
Aluminium allergy is relatively uncommon (nickel being the most well-known) but not unheard of.
He was right about the 17 inch MacBook being discontinued, Apple introducing the 4th gen iPad 7 months after the 3rd gen, Apple re-introducing the iPad 4 after it was discontinued earlier this year, a low cost iMac, a gold iPhone option, trutone flash or "smart LED flash" as he called it, and many more.
If you see a story you don't like, just ignore it. You know how to ignore, don't you? Just put your eyelids together and blow off.

Remember that's the screen size. With an average sized bezel the case would measure around 44-45mm diameter which is a fairly common size today.
If it has panerai style bezels and case then it could be rounded, that's the size of a 44mm luminor 1950 dial, true, but I wouldn't expect that from jony ive's design department.
I admit that I was thinking about overall case size however, my fault.
To each their own I guess. If split screen multitasking comes to iOS 8.1, you'll be able to do both, and will really need the extra RAM.
Oh I think the iWatch will be announced on Tuesday but it's nothing like those renders and these specs this analyst is predicting are likely completely wrong. He is guessing based on what the industry is producing and what apple has patented. He has no insider knowledge on this, it hasn't begun mass production, he knows nothing more about it than you or I.
Circular would have been beautiful, but it's not gonna be circular.
It's gonna be basically the same rectangular thing that Samsung just presented yesterday.
According to Kuo, the iWatch may have a rectangular design and will include 8GB of internal storage with 512MB LPDDR3. The wristwatch will be available in two screen sizes of 1.3 and 1.5-inches in order to accommodate different wrist sizes. Apple may use between two to four different casing materials, with aluminum and gold as two likely options.
I think it is because of two factors:
1) It is not yet being mass produced. Only place it is made is behind Apple's locked doors. They have all the machines to make the prototypes themself. No need to send drawings to China ;-)
2) Maybe it will be made in the US like the nMP
Really? But you yourself claimed Sony's smartwatch would fail due to not being launched as soon as it was announced, changed your tune have you now your talking about an APPLE watch:
So going by your logic, and this story, Apple is indeed totally copying what others do in regards to launch times.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a mock up article here showing an iPhone taped to a wrist, after all, they showed a paper cutout of an iOS home screen taped to a wrist a few months back.
The most important thing Apple has to come up with alongside the presentation of the iWatch is a reason to buy one.
