Couldn't care less about the Apple Watch. For me this is like a Samsung product. Wants to achieve too much, is slow and totally cluttered. I cannot support Apple in this, even if I love their products. Steve would never let the Apple Watch get out of their labs..
Since you knew Steve so well you should write a book. You can fill us in on all your personal interactions with him.

Yeah, I think this forum is going to get a LOT more interesting.
Tell me, why do you "need" the watch?
You know, there is nothing wrong liking the Apple Watch. I also think though that people should stop accepting everything that Apple produces, just because it's from Apple.
Just try to remember what Apple is (was) about. Remember what Steve Jobs used to say.
Then try to see and examine Apple's line-up. The only confusing product that Apple has is the Apple Watch. Everything else is intuitive and simple...
Used the apple watch the other day for the first time and instantly picked it up and was surprised by the familiarity to iOS. I think it's just as intuitive and simple and more exciting even than other products..
I might. You never know.
Still doesn't mean you have any real clue what someone living or dead would do in the way of product development. SJ debuted the iPhone and almost didn't complete the demo due to unresolved issues and he still gave it the green light to launch.
Just saying.
Why is it a marvel?
I don't think it could get much less interesting than it is at the moment so it can only go up from here! Hahaha
Because it draws in people who aren't even interested in it. It's not just the technology, its also the marketing.
You can have the greatest technology in the world, but if you don't know how to sell it to people, it will fail and your great idea will die. I think that's where some of the earlier attempts have failed. They didn't really, really try to sell their ideas. Not sure they even knew how to.
It's going to be fascinating to watch Apple grapple with this.
Marketing power isn't a marvel. Apple could produce an expensive toilet paper and everybody would want it.
But isn't that effect fascinating in itself?
That the difference between product failure and success might not be entirely dependent on the product? Not initially, anyway.
My Apple watch week isn't until June but I am excited to finally see this thing in the hands of actual users and not just speculators and dreamers.
Don't forget movie stars and singers. THEY already have them.
Actually it's sad ...
Product development/testing. Believe I said that.![]()
You cannot compare the iPhone to the Apple Watch. When the iPhone was announced everybody was amazed by it. The non believers just said that it was expensive and wouldn't sell. Nobody said that the iPhone wasn't revolutionary. Now, with the Apple Watch nobody has said that it's revolutionary. Best case, people said that it's the best SmartWatch, but this doesn't really say much..
Google it. Actually, just search here on MR. There were people who scoffed at the iPhone. And not just the price. Ditto the iPad (which SJ also gave the green light).
This is the first real product developed and launched under Tim Cook's watch. This is his defining moment. He's going to make this watch work perfectly regardless of what it takes in terms of resources. I'm spending my $1000 very confidently.
