It's Apple Watch week! (maybe?) — Are you excited?

[Cuyler]

Ping was a failure but was not a hardware Apple produced and sold. You cannot compare it.

It's a long time ago, but the Newton was highly hyped, yet a big flop. So far ahead of its time that it couldn't deliver what it promised. It would seem the Watch poised to be far more successful than the Newton ever was.

Watch? There's a watch coming out, damn why wasn't I told?

I plan to resist the temptation to download every app that catches my eye and slowly discover what works best for me. I think the tag-line "most personal product yet" is very appropriate. And I actually like the fact that the limitations of the watch force developers to streamline their data flows.

I think that's the best approach.

Last week, I bought a simple fitness band with notifications with far, far less functionality than the Apple watch. I quickly turned off practically all of the notifications (too intrusive) and now I'm at the stage where I could see myself turning off some other functionality. I just want it to be simple and focused (at least at the start) so I can focus on other things.

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..

Steve would have never let you post that comment.

Another great comment. Really helpful.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the forums here are being visited by kids. There is no point in trying to have any kind of serious discussion, especially if someone posts something negative about an Apple product.

Please don't even bother to respond. It won't even matter. I am leaving these forums.

Well a few of us slated Ping, an Apple product. That was negative, so your statement is flawed...

What kind of serious discussion can be had in a thread called "Apple Watch week maybe. Are you excited?"?

Yeah. I get that, but (technically) smart phones existed for years before iPhone came out. Ditto tablets.

The execution is the revolutionary part.

So true. Ever heard of Blackberry? Lol

I'm willing to bet the early May dates move up.

Why do you predict this?

If I recall correctly, Steve Jobs told Tim Cook not to do what Steve would do, but do what Tim would do. So many people seem to forget that during the last two years of Steves life Tim was running the company. Also I keep seeing people say wait for version 2. Well in my experience version 2 may arrive, but an individual may be gone, or not in a financial position to afford one. People are so sure of their future that living for today gets lost. I rather have it and find out it is not all of that than not get it and miss all of the fun.
Just my 1.5¢. #

Well said sir, in other words live each day as if it's your last. One never knows about tomorrow for sure. Ordered 38mm SS for my wife, and 42mm SS for myself. The thing is, I don't think Apple is going to come out with v2 of the AW. Until 2018-2019, but instead the AW will get software updates over that period of time like the Apple TV.

A mean look, the $17,000 watch Eidtion is sold out. To me it would be just bonkers, for Apple to come out with a v2 next year or so. After customers just drop 17,000 v1. Will Apple come out with v2? Sure but I don't think it's going to be next year or the one after. So for the ones saying they wait for v2, could be waiting for a long time. At least I will get to experience v1 until v2 rolls out, when ever that maybe. Given I am still living when v2 rolls out.

Didn't SJ pen an internal email taking Apple to task for Me network as well? IIRC, it was a wreck at launch and ended up being rolled it into iCloud.

On topic, yes, can't wait to see the order updated badge on the Aple Store app!

The majority of the people in this thread are terrible. You know who you are. This started out as a fun thread and you just sucked the life of of it. Take your negativity elsewhere.
