Apple's 'iWatch' Said to Arrive in Separate 1.7- and 1.3-Inch Display Sizes for Men and Women

The dorks still rockin BT headsets 24x7 are going to have it made:
- Set phone to auto-answer
- Relay texts to iWatch
- Place phone in fanny pack
- Strut your stuff!
I can see how it would make sense, but I doubt it.
I just want the damn watch already. I seriously can't imagine whats taking so long.
It's not that anyone disagrees, you're just wrong. Ignorant and uninformed might be better terms. Or at least thats how you come across.

Actually, it's competitors trying to beat Apple, and failing miserably. Then, all of apple's time working on the product will pay off.
Mods?!?
I love that the mods see it fit to remove a post AND my logical and thoughtful rebuttal of said post when someone is being sexist and ridiculous. The original post WAS in context, ridiculous as it may have been. My post was also completely in context. The article itself was the catalyst.

I've never been a digital watch guy, for years and years I had Citizen's Eco watches. To me a watch had to have the look, digital watches always looked/felt like toys.
i agree. I rather spend 250+€ on a normal watch, that has beautiful design and premium materials and will look good on my hand, than some geeky watch thats going to be used for reading messages on it because i'm too lazy to take my phone out of my pocket.

Well, seems like Samsung created the Galaxy gear watch simply based on rumors of what Apple might be coming out with (so funny). But, if the Galaxy gear is in fact what Apple had in mind and the thunder has been stolen, I may consider abandoning ship and watching Galaxy gear fade into the abyss (which it most likely will).
Because there the iWatch doesn't exist yet, or at least there are no real pictures of an iWatch yet that anyone knows of.
Interesting idea.
I wear a Daytona (I'm male), and there is no way I would replace it with a "smartwatch". However, I'm also an Apple fanatic, and I'm sure I'm going to want an iWatch when they make one available. I have seriously thought about the "both wrists" solution that you mention.
I'll just have to wait and see how strong the attraction to another Apple gadget is when it becomes available.
You know - that's remarkable restraint. 38 posts and I haven't seen a single post along the lines of "I don't wear watches, so no-one in the world will buy one of these". Either the recent hack has scared a lot of people away or this idea is gradually gaining mindshare.
More price tiers
So...small and smaller. I wonder how well the 'womens' watch will sell with its smaller screen. I can't see a smaller screen not being more or just as useful than the larger 'mens' model.
I would think it more likely that they may choose to vary accompanying bands, and that if they can create a 'one size fits all' product with a phone, that they can do the same for a watch.

Seems like you've already been reprimanded so I'll just say I'm interested in what Apple has in store with this "iWatch".
It would seem that all that is needed to upstage Samsung is for the watch to actually work, and be useful.
Seriously, I can't imagine Apple doing something as radical as flexible displays just to "upstage Samsung." That's not how Apple rolls.
Releasing a watch that is actually useful for non-geeks and people who are not seriously fashion-impaired aka have no bloody taste at all, that would be leading.
Or do you think Apple shouldn't produce a good product just because Samsung had nothing to copy and tried to sell a product that is just rubbish?
wait -- where do you have details that 1) apple is doing a watch. 2) apple is making different sizes. 3) apple is selling them at different prices?
