That photo of Johnny is just haunting. Wish he'd crack a smile or something. He always looks like he's having war flashbacks.

Speak for yourself. Apple Watch and Airpods are revolutionary. iPhone has also made leaps and bounds improvements under "bozo era." iPad has made respectable improvements... but Mac let's not speak about.
When I listen to him, I can no longer tell if it’s him or a Saturday Night Live skit.
Johann Sebastian?
Wilhelm Friedemann?
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach?
Anna Magdalena?
Or…?
I agree, but now we’re going to be reading articles about all the false positives and visits by the “worried well” to the ER. The tech is interesting and will be a game changer for a small group of people. For the rest, it’s unnecessary and will likely only appeal to hypochondriacs.
Exactly, which is why you don't really rely on it, unless you're just relying on it to take a guess that something might be wrong.
Again, it's better than nothing, but the decision is whether it's worth buying the Apple Watch for this or some other wearable.
How about some "very significant" innovations on the Mac platform Jony Ive?
Johann Sebastian?
Wilhelm Friedemann?
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach?
Anna Magdalena?
Or…?
It’s a M*A*S*H reference. I like that you got the humor though!
YOU Design it, then.

Um, you DO realize, of course, that this is an APPLE-Centric Fan Site, right?
I love his voice and ability to describe things in intricate detail. Most people don’t have that capacity these days.
It’s nice to see a person with passion rather than “blah” or “its whatever” and dullness from everyone.

Absolutely untrue. Try to be in a room full of young kids. You’ll see that fake vomit will help your sanity distracting the kids much more than a parked Ferrari. (Unless you want to play real life “Carmageddon: Kindergarten”, but then you’ll have different issues)
I absolutely agree. I am so sick of these presentations filled with phrases in which only the product name is replaced.
"Most ... ever" / "amazing".... I finished my ******** bingo in the first five minutes of the presentation.
Indeed this marketing-gibberish is just so annoying... The same lame phrases over and over again. They overstress it massively, so any credibility is lost. Totally lost. The Apple execs sound like puppets merely memorising phrases as taught by their marketing coaches
In fact, the "new"watch is just an iteration, featuring no exciting new features to speak of (minus the ECG for someone with heart conditions, perhaps)
First and foremost:
- Its still ugly and looks like a cheapo fashion watch. And its still rectangular (yuck)
- Its still isn't as programmable as I'd like it to be
- Way too expensive for what it is

You could have done a better job minimizing its impact, because it really is not just a watch.
It's NOT just Ive or Apple that is saying that about the Apple Watch. It's a large portion of the press!

Apple's chief designer, Jony Ive, recently discussed this week's reveal of the Apple Watch Series 4 with The Washington Post, stating that "Every bone in my body tells me this is very significant."
Must be your funny bone talking, Jony.
IMO, most people who complain about the watch are only looking at it from the perspective of being a watch. I've worn mine daily now since the first iteration, and aside from the abysmal battery life of AW1, it has been fantastic. From navigation to reminders, to silent notifications of phone calls, etc., to being able to monitor heart rate during workouts, to tracking running distance with Runkeeper, etc., the watch is remarkable. Beyond that, what has really been great for me is the fact that the silicon watch band is unbelievably comfortable. I hate jewelry and didn't wear a watch since middle school until my wife bought me an Apple Watch. I truly forget I have it on.
Yes, it's a whole lot more expensive than a Timex, but it does so much more. I'm looking forward to the larger face and enhanced abilities. Think of all the people who spend SO much more for something that is ONLY a watch. I'm very critical of Cook's leadership, but I do believe the AW is a great product.

I think it's about time old Jony stopped stuffing cakes in his mouth, started to wear the watch he keep promoting and uses the dam thing to get some exercise done to shift all the fat he's now carrying.........
Hardly an example for the product is he?
From this:
To this.........
With the help of "his" Apple watch in just a few years.

I’m wodering/hoping whether some clever researcher can develop other algorithms for the electrical signal sensors to detect othermedical conditions?

Exactly, the time keeping aspect is marginal compared with all the other things it can and will do.
Yes, wonderful answer. It is not about the product anymore, it is only about the stock. What sad decline of a once leading creative different thinking company. Not expecting real innovation under Cook. So sad!
