So you basically don't believe Apple can do something better than others..... Interesting point.
Quote on the contrary, I'm convinced they are going to surprise us with the watch.
Still non entirely convinced to buy one.
The fact it had already sold 20M+ by that time, and back ordered solid for the next 2 months, and sold 55M in the 2 month that followed, makes me think that it didn't have any effect at all on sales.
BTW, that's 24M phone more than the previous year in that quarter!!
The Apple visit was not covered widely compared to the bending hype, so its PR effect was kind of muted; so the conclusion is that people believed Apple rather than a video by an idiot.
I'll believe you if you can show me a link on apple's website, to where the music will be stored... And how much memory it will have. I would love for the watch to be able to play music without an iPhone, so I wouldn't mind being wrong.
Seriously, find it yourself. MAn. It takes two minutes. You'Re now on my ignore list.
Last year I spent about $100 on a waterproof case for my iPhone 5s. It added enough bulk to the phone to make it impractical for anything other than underwater use, but it was lightweight. Used it a couple of times without incident, but on the third time it leaked water which damaged the phone, requiring its replacement.
I've just recently purchased a waterproof case for my iPhone 6. This one is extremely heavy and bulky and was more expensive, but it's built like a tank and can go well below 100 ft. underwater.
Why am I describing all this? To illustrate the fact that true, robust water resistance adds A LOT of bulk to any device. An Apple Watch with real water resistance (allowing you to swim and maybe snorkel with it) would have either made the Watch huge or would have dramatically shrunk the available space for the battery, eliminating the all day battery life.
I know that making the Watch really water resistant would have been a game changer, allowing people to stay connected at the beach or pool where their phones can't go. But I don't see it happening for a long while - until we see a great deal more evolution of battery technology.

That's incorrect. The Watch can track steps and play music without an iPhone, although you lose GPS functionality.
Maybe. There was also no other Apple product that has received as many "this is a useless device" press reviews prior to the official launch, at least not not in Germany, and certainly not from publications that usually hype Apple products. But the press in Germany does not seem to be very excited about the Apple Watch. But well, even the people that I know that otherwise own almost every other Apple product fail to see any use or need for that watch. One reason could be that some of them already wear watches that did cost five digit sums. The other might be that watches in general feel out of place in our age.
You know you're WRONG. The watch does all sorts of things WITHOUT a phone, like the time, playing music, tracking workouts.
But I see from previous posts, that you don't care to actually READ what is on the Apple website.
If only Apple had smarter people working there this watch would have a retina display, GPS, wifi, cellular, be completely waterproof and get a weeks worth battery life on a charge.
The Watch can hold 2 GB of music for offline listening. To enjoy Spotify, Beats Music, and others we'll have to wait for those companies to develop required watch apps.
No - once again you fail to understand what I've written - or just like employing straw man arguments.
There was never a "never" implied in what he said. He thinks what I pretty much think, that the Apple Watch isn't currently much better than what the competition is offering.
I think the one thing that's hurt the Apple Watch the most, at least among the tech pundits, is the hype and expectations surrounding it. I think a lot of people were expecting the Apple Watch to be the iPhone of the wearable scene, making everything else look liked dated Blackberries. That didn't turn out to be the case.
Yeah I was wrong, however I couldn't find anything on the apple website about the local storage of the apple watch. It seems to be only posted on other tech websites. So you guys are pointing me into the wrong direction. Maybe if you READ the apple website yourself, you'd know that.
And if you READ the posts since that post you'd know that someone already posted a link.

true, but according to the site they have confirmed that info with apple.
furthermore, tim cook himself said that the watch is able to play music.

[note: sorry, not interested in watching the whole interview to find the specified part]
I'm still a little unclear on this. The Watch has an accelerometer to measure general movement like stepping and standing. But for an accurate measurement of distance travelled, or to understand the difference between cycling and running, it still relies on your iPhone's GPS and Wi-Fi.
So won't you still have to carry your iPhone with you when you run or workout to best measure your progress?
I'm not discounting that it can play music anymore, you showed the link, it's just frustrating when everyone says, "read the apple website" and it wasn't on there.
But thank you for sharing that link
Wait, Apple Watch, HealthKit, and Research Kit are 3 different things.
