Looking forward to the event, even though I've already bought the iWatch from an insider at Apple :D :

I'd be very surprised if there were anything but the Watch.

He needs only 2 slides for the :apple:Watch:
- Pricing
- Availability

I'd expect filler content with notable updates to other devices, things worth spending time on but not demanding their own event, like: :apple:TV4, 12" retina MBA, 5K Cinema display.
 
If you think the Apple watch sucks, not considering buying it GREAT we're not interested in your whining.

Wow, opinions different from yours seem to really bug you. Must be terrible to have to suffer through so much of that every single day.
 
The front page of apple.com is a live blog. Did they do that for the iPad event last year? Might signal how Apple is treating this event in terms of importance.

no, but they did it for the september event. that's when the stream sucked and we could only hear a Chinese translator..hopefully that won't happen today! :rolleyes:
 
The silence is deafening. Less than an hour before the event, and still no leaks. Tim really has doubled-down on secrecy.

but we keep hearing all this stuff about what the developers have learned about an Apple Watch.
 
The price of the gold verison is going to come in way lower than what people think. People predicting $10-20k are trying to compare it to a regular gold watch that has a gold band as well. The Apple verion doesn't have a gold band. A regular 18k gold band alone costs around $5,000.
 
Still holding out hope for a new TBD. :(

Doesn't have to be an announcement. Just a quiet update on their site.

Yeah, that was horrific. The loud Chinese translator talking over the speakers - it was like being tortured. I actually think someone should have been fired over that one, and I'm usually very forgiving of mistakes. It was very bad.

Apple needs way more than that. How does the companion app work? How do you set your watch up? How does Apple Pay work on the watch? How do you store music or photos on the watch? Where are they going to be sold? Are way too many things we don't know about this device. Snow sense for Apple to polluted with random other stuff like a Cinema Display.

What you say makes sense. Some recent rumors (I have lost track of the source, since every tech and financial site seems to have an opinion) have suggested a base price of maybe 5-10k and go one to say that they think there is a surprise unnanounced gold band to kick it to the 20k price, as an option.
 
10:30 is what I think I read somewhere.

So based on this, my going to bed at 10PM to get up at 1AM in order to study and gather dissertation research before work is categorically considered unhealthy lol... all in all a good thing to know!

That being said, you would be surprised how well your body and mind can execute at a high level, as well as function with optimal performance, when properly trained to do so over time. My regiment now required the 3 hours a night during week and I treat myself to 6 hours per night Fri (Sat) and Sat (Sun). Anymore hours of sleep committed per night during the week, or the weekend, and I feel like I am hungover without the alcohol lol. Too much sleep for me is a negative.

Also, many sharp minds have proclaimed that the time of day when the mind achieves maximum clarity, understanding, balance, peace, imagination, etc., is between the hours of 2-5 AM.

Who really knows for sure but it does work for me!

Thanks for the effort Mr. Cook; can't wait for the announcement!

Yeah. That would make sense and according to the Ive they are using "special gold" so maybe it could be $10k+ but I doubt it.
