I agree with most of the complaints. I have not worn a watch in many years even. I ordered 2 and can't wait for them to be here. I ordered just like I have with past Apple products and even though it may not be obvious at first living with them you learn why they stand out. I don't always know how something is going to change the way I do things but I think I know when I see something that has that potential and the watch is one of those. Its a new category for me and many others and I believe after a while you will see others that are today not interested suddenly become interested.
I don't have a solid reason to suggest the watch at the moment other than to say I want to give it a go and I'm not going to live forever. Why put off something you want just to have a better version. Get in now and when the better version comes you will know why its better. (or not)
I appreciate the meaningful reply, but of course if you have you will find a way to use it. Especially since it'll always be on your wrist. You can't really avoid using it other than by not wearing it.
From a collector's point of view, or someone who loves to stay tech savvy, it's great to have. The only electronic I've ever gotten everyone in the series of is the DS!
Yep - totally not worth it. My Tissot Touch Classic is ridiculously awesome.
HOWEVER, I really like techy watches, and I line up to buy most of Apple's new stuff because what doesn't seem worth it on paper ends up being super crazy awesome. I went out and bought 2 - one for me, one for my mother (who actually really wanted one for fitness features).
I see it the opposite way! Apple has such a good way of marketing, it makes you feel like you need it, but then when you look at it with a closer eye you find that it's not so important. When I first heard about the Apple watch, I was hypnotized. After I tried it on I lost any sort of hope I had for it.
I think many buy it because its an Apple product.
I used to own a Samsung watch and even though it wasn's Apple it was a must have for many. The Samsung did many functions the new Apple watch will do and after about a month sat in a drawer. The biggest hang up is requirement to have the phone with you to perform many of the tasks.
Once apple has a sim card in the watch it opens up entire new realm of possibilities and customers.
I hate Samsung products. I had gotten a Samsung tablet, thinking it'd be really nice but the touch screen was unbearable and the interface had me lost. Not user friendly at all.
Not every consumer product is a must have product but the benefits are there.
My car came with heated seats. Must have for California? not really.
Does it ease my comfort on cold mornings? Yes.
Same applies to the Apple watch. Must have? no
Does it make the interaction with your phone more convenient? Yes.
Do we need ice cream? No!
I love dairy free ice cream though (I'm lactose intolerant)
Do we need flavored beverages? No!
Do we even need clothes? Who cares about a little sunburn!
Screw these shoes I'm going BARE FOOT
