Scott was a arrogant prick and his design was good at the beginning but awful after iPhone 4. He needed to go. The world is flat now.
I said Steve didn't know about design, not Scott. Scott just made everything skewmorphic

It is well known that Apple was really "Steve's Apple". So if it went to market, Steve said "Yes". Period. Whether or not stuff he came up with was rejected behind the scenes is irrelevant (we don't see those products as customers). But I don't think Steve came up with designs, I believe he came up with requests. The designers designed and submitted samples to him, the Steve would say "no, no, no, yes but.., no, tweak this...", until the device was what he liked
Also, no one said Steve was always right. That is a knee-jerk response. He wasn't always right, but he was rarely wrong with end-item products.
That said, we still have a visible and comparable design shift at Apple upon his departure, and the results are clearly polarizing, whether you fall in the "like" or "don't like" camp. It appears the farther we get from his influence (time wise), the more obvious this becomes.
Not Revolutionary IMHO
For me, the idea of smart watches is not a revolutionary idea and falls into the making everything "smart" mentality.
I would have much rather seen Apple go into a new direction for wearable digital sensors in a different vehicle for those technology compared to a watch. Many in the current generation do not even wear watches anymore since one can read the time on their phone.
Just my opinion and $0.02.

I'm pretty sure it's the "alleged" poor battery life that has made this device not available for the holiday season.
...and they show no example of the cutoff text.
I can see text getting cutoff near the top/bottom but once the text past the top/bottom, you would think all text is viewable.
See text cutoff near the top/bottom is like getting a preview before you see the entire text.
Apple didn't design it for the technology. Primarily the Apple Watch is basically just Apple fashion, and a smart watch second.
Tim Cook was asked about a watch. He said it was difficult because your phone is a watch. So he knows the phone can do everything already.
You are such a troll. My ***** iPhone 5 don't have good camera even compared to 5S, no Touch ID, no NFC, no co-processor for fitness apps and can't ever use Apple Pay. iPhone 6 is a huge upgrade to iPhone 5. That's why it's sold out everywhere and back ordered until Oct. Continue to troll as much as you want. At least Apple make things useful in every update, not gimmicks like Android devices.
BTW, smartphone is mature now. You won't see much different from one to another upgrade. Just like laptop in the last 10 years.
I have blown off way more money for my Omega and Tag Heuer watches.
Actually the apple watch does exactly what I was looking for - an iPod that I can use with a Bluetooth headset without wires for running. That's what I hoped for Apple would release and they did. And I do not need GPS tracking as I know where I did run...
Too bad there are no circle screens. Especially the moto 360. It's display is an abortion.
I'm holding out for the 5.5-inch Apple Watch so that my Android friends won't make fun of me.
Some people like round. It's called choice.
This is the G Watch R.
I can see LG design is acceptable, but Moto 360.
It's unbelievable how naive some people are!
History have teached them absolutely nothing!!
My wife has an iPod nano. Does just as well.
Sony has a really nice sports walkman. You can even go under water with them and listen to the radio and all your MP3s. It sounds crystal clear under water. Try doing that with an apple watch.
There are so many other better choices out there for a lot less if you just want to listen to music during a workout.
Most people can't blow $1,000 on a Tag Heuer watch. But you are the sort of person apple is aiming at. They know you'll buy it. Because you blow $1,000 on a stupid watch anyway.
Since development began three years ago, Steve Jobs was no longer around to oversee the development, but he was around when decisions were being made to define their goals and start the development. We can only speculate whether theWatch would have turned out differently with his direct involvement during development.
Sure, if we're into living in the past.
As long as they are making a "Sport Watch" that I can not swim or even shower with and have to pray that the battery lasts a day..... I will not buy that thing for $100.-, What good is it?
I think the debates about thinness and ram on this site have told us that most people don't understand product engineering is about balancing compromises.
Looks smaller than my Garmin Forerunner 405 (these are not my pictures but they are pictures of Garmin GPS watches that I have owned in the past or do currently own/use daily for running). I might decide to buy an Apple Watch to replace my 6 yr old 405. I may wait until the Apple Watch 2 comes out though before spending that kind of money.
Garmin Forerunner 405 pictures.
Next to the Forerunner 305 that I had before the 405 (305 was stolen from my car).
People should re-watch the keynote. Huge cheers and standing ovation from some of the Apple employees in the crowd. Bob Mansfield was in the front row for this event. Do people really think someone like Bob Mansfield would come out of planned retirement to work on a dud, to work on something he didn't believe in? And how can anyone dismiss the technology in this product when we know very little about it? I'm fascinated to know more about the S1 chip that powers this thing.
