Personally, I'd rather wear a watch that looks good rather than a geeky vaginal repellent...

It won't look good with anything anyone wears.
 
The dorks still rockin BT headsets 24x7 are going to have it made:
  1. Set phone to auto-answer
  2. Relay texts to iWatch
  3. Place phone in fanny pack
  4. Strut your stuff!
 
Oi! Apple is suing Samsung. Samsung is suing Apple. That's patents, IP and BS.

Do you think Samsung was the first to create a wrist band that communicates with another device?

I'm fine and onboard with being critical of Apple, but really?

Give it a rest. No one said you have to agree with me. Get over it.
 
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.
 
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.

This posts removal in 3, 2, ....
 
Why is MR showing the ugly Samsung watches when talking about iWatch?
 
I've never been a watch guy...in fact I find them annoying. But, after hanging with a sales guy at ATT Store who had a Pebble, I might actually be sold on the concept. Not sure if I'm willing to wait for Apple to release it.

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).:D:apple:
 
I see a lot of women wearing bigger watches these days and it looks great. Nothing sexier then a woman wearing a Submariner or Daytona or even a Panerai. Im not sure how the watch is going to fit in for people who prefer to wear a fine swiss mechanical but still love their electronic gadgets. Maybe the iwatch on the right hand. I certainly don't want to start that trend but if it catches on why not.

Also it remains to be seen if it will be water/rain proof etc.

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.
 
It is yet to be confirmed whether the displays will be flexible but sources said it was a possibility, since Apple will want to upstage Samsung's Galaxy Gear.

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.
 
the iwatch SO makes sense for much of the incoming iphone data/notices - I can't wait... come on Apple get this out there.
 
The watch has been done. I like Apple, but this is following, not leading.

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. :D

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?
 
Even after a couple of weeks of seeing it, the Samsung Gear's "wart" on the band looks so incredibly stupid you have to question how that got past the brainstorm phase.
 
I think it is a very good idea to offer two different sizes, but I don't think it is as wise to say one is for men and one is for women. Especially if one is going to cost a different amount.

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?
