Not ignoring you I have other things to do. I would have to have my iPhone 6 with me to use the watch and my iPhone screen is way more pleasant to look at than a watch face.

I get it. It's for kids. Have fun with it. It's just not for me.

Yes as adults always embrace new technology first :)
 
I find some amusement in the comments. Like the comment about saying it's for kids. No actual backup for that comment. Clearly the watch serves the needs of many for various reasons - at least mine, which is all that matters. That some feel it doesn't serve their needs doesn't make it "for kids". In fact, that kind of outlook is rather childish. As in, "If I don't like it, no other adult should either. Everybody must think like me".

Then there is the comment about the iPhone screen being better. Kinda depends, doesn't it? To give just one pretty obvious comparison, which screen will be easier to read to see the time? That isn't the only example either. Sure, if I want to read a webpage or something, the bigger screen is better, but that just reaffirms my point - it depends on what you are using it for. For that matter, has the critic actually seen the watch in person? Maybe so, but if not, then how can they be sure it isn't better for at least some things?

Next we have the P.T. Barnum reference. Which, surprise, means absolutely nothing. Without a rational argument to back it up, someone can make exactly the same remark about just about anything and anti-Apple Fanboys (or anti-whatever the subject being referred to) will just love the snark because they at least as bad as the Apple fanboys they ridicule, just in the opposite direction.

I guess some people don't care if they offer anything of substance. They just want to stir things up. I never understood that, personally. Even when I was a child, such things seemed too childish to me. We have this great ability to communicate with others and it tends to be mostly wasteful crap.
 
Failure is your mentality and ignorance. Those are units to be in stuck, no actual units sold to people.

If you ever understand the news, Apple and Microsoft always used to have a battle of units sold, one thing are units sold to distributors and another to costumers.

I saw the Apple Watch today and ended up with the same feeling... I do not need one nor saw something of value. If someone give it to me it will be collecting dust on in a drawer. And people were more interested in the iPhones at the store any way.

So what you're saying is that its a success only if you like it.

So what he's saying is that it's a failure only if you hate it. Conditional statement: Write x --> y as a sentence.

Similiarly, someone mentioned that:
As in, "If I don't like it, no other adult should either. Everybody must think like me".

If x != 1 and y=1 -> x!=y

Just chirping in. I am bored at work. :p
 
Certainly sounds like the Apple Watch is a success... confirming what P.T. Barnum once said. :)

...That's it is better to steal someone else's cliche'd put down than your write your own? Guess so!

Apple users may be "suckers" (sic), but at least they're not unoriginal...

I remember that quote. "Nobody should have to live without an Apple Watch". :cool:

Apart from anything else, people have been repeatedly talking about how watches are not for teens, they are for older people say 30-50. Pretty sure U2 have still got a following in that demo.

But but but... Apple watches are for older people if Pharrell Williams or Kate Perry wears one. When Bono wears an Apple watch, then Apple watches are for kids only who never heard of him.

Huh! There will be about 425M compatible phones released by the end of ten year. If even 2.5% of Iphone users buy the watch by the end of this year, it will sell 10M units. Even the most pessimistic analysts' opinions are over 10M, with the most optimistic being 40M in the first year (about 30M in 2015). Average 15-20M.

It has already sold seemingly more in 5 days than the first Iphone did in its first 6 months (and also more than the Ipad which sold at its peak 26M per quarter)). So, care to revise your illogical conclusion.

Will you eat your word when it sells 10M by September?

You are right. My assumptions where not.
