How about new Apple TV that would have been even better than the iWatch.

 

[yesnek]

hm. switzerland is going to sleep veeeeery tight tonight.

 

[weave]

This thing better be waterproof... :-(

 

[Grolubao]

So the Apple Watch has the same dial as the Blackberrys?

 

[snorkelman]

"a whole new interface around the crown - you wont need to swipe and obscure the display" "Now heres a demo" swipe ..swipe ..swipe

 

[rovex]

Does Watch come in 5.5" version? Watch plus?

Sure it does. It'll run down your arm like something out of Star Wars.

 

[crossix]

it should be called iwatch and ipay dont like the apple name first.... and dont like that the watch REQUIRES iphone.

overall i getting the iphone 6 or 6+ because is the best phone ever made since the first iphone.

This watch it going to be Apple's first big failure in while, that thing looks dated and so does the interface.

it's so over personalized that it's almost a burden to use - I'm watching this guy give the demo and it's almost tiring to follow

who the hell has the time to do all of this **** on their wrist

 

[Stanick]

I watch has no touch screen?

 

[roosta]

AAPL is rising fast btw.

aapl has dropped $2 since the watch appeared

 

[lookatchu]

This is becoming beyond embarrassing. Never thought I'd say this, but it's time to explore Android phones.

 

[TsMkLg068426]

If Apple Watch only looked like a Rolex

 

[Romy90210]

lol Samsung is in big trouble.. Everybody at the office is going nuts about this watch and the new iPhone... I can't really tell you how many people said they are switching back from android..

 

[KPOM]

AAPL is rising fast btw.

It's tapered off a bit. Probably because the longer the Watch demo goes, the more it means that it probably won't go on sale in time for the holidays.

 

[Sokratesagogo]

It would be really funny if the battery ran out during the demo

 

[rovolo]

Absolutely and extremely pissed about Apple because of the epic fail fka "live stream".
So, so grateful, MacRumors, for your live coverage. Will send Tim an E-Mail. Apple f###ed up. MacRumors didn't.

 

[denisvj]

Where is the new iPad ?

 

[jrswizzle]

Tons of overreaction to the thickness....it isn't any thicker than that guy's finger.

While I would prefer a circular watch as well, it looked extremely understated on Tim's wrist and UI is far more important. I'm extremely interested in playing with one.

Also - the mechanism for switching out bands if phenomenal. Digital crown plus pressure sensitive touch interface seems really great.

The Moto 360 kills me with that black half circle at the bottom.....if it ever comes available though, I'll probably get both. Apple Watch looks thinner and smaller.

 

[bmacir]

wtf is Bill Gates doing on stage??

 

[myrtlebee]

This thing better be waterproof... :-(

It's not. Ive said the speaker was water resistant, not water proof.

 

[kdarling]

Why isn't he demonstrating the digital crown while wearing it? It seems cumbersome.

I just realized that the "Digital Crown" reminds me of the "Digital Conveyer" from...



I bet Cook's a fan.

 

[heartlegs]

Samsung, Android and Windows phones are fuglier fan boy.

What an ignorant comment. There are some that are, and many that are not. Who's the fanboy?

 

[topmounter]

"a whole new interface around the crown - you wont need to swipe and obscure the display" "Now heres a demo" swipe ..swipe ..swipe

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[fallenjt]

You'll be wrong because it beats the **** out of every single smart watch out there.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

Iphone 4 wasn’t so nice for lefties…

How so?
