If you go back on Macrumors and look up comments (be warned, its scary) right after the first iPod, first iPhone (actually, every iPhone), iPad, Apple TV......um, basically any announcement no one is every happy and as soon as the doors open for launch the lines stretch around the block and Apple has record sales.
Basically what I am trying to say is I don't know why I come to MacRumors, this crowd is already judging and saying they will not buy a product that hasn't even been announced yet, we can't even wait for it to become a thing for us to hate, we just hate it preemptively.
No, Seiko.I am VERY excited for this watch. Ill take this watch over the new iPhone if it comes to that (money). Cant wait!

That's awesome! Wouldn't be a Casio would it?

Overpriced, gaudy, status symbols - got it.
Might I interest you in a Vertu phone?
I still haven't bought an iPad... won't be getting this.
'Overpriced'? Don't buy one. Rolex and PP somehow manage to sell all the watches they can make.
'Gaudy'? There are some gaudy watches out there - my wife wears a Michael Kors watch fgs - but a Rolex Sub or a PP Calatrava are hardly gaudy.
'Status symbols'? Trust me, if I bought something to show off as a status symbol I wouldn't choose a watch! Nobody ever notices what you wear on your wrist. And even if they did notice the watch, I can guarantee that over 99% of people wouldn't recognise a Patek if it bit them on the ass.
why do you want an iWatch for if you are not interested in health data?

What is? You mean the android smartwach depicted in at the top of the article?One word.
Hideous.
Is it really possible to surprise people anymore? People have such high expectations today it's almost impossible to satisfy anyone. When Apple finally reveals the "iWatch" will people be in awe, or just...What? that's it, that's all you got? Meh!
As long as the iWatch is waterproof I am all over it.
If it isn't, no thanks.
Last thing I want is a gadget to break because I might forget to take it of when washing hands, taking a shower or going for a swim.
By the way, we swimmers need something to track our activities. I hope Apple can come up with something cool.
It would be nice to have a 10ATM rating, which shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if the devices utilizes inductive charging and has no openings in the case.
I was not planning on even considering buying this but now with all these health sensors, I'm looking forward to it. I would love something like that to help me stay healthy. I hope there's something for lifting on it.
Right, and then they'll sell in the millions.
as one who owns a large amount of apple stock i hope you are right.
