Maybe. However, the Apple Watch is just an aluminum, SS or gold square slab, most people wouldn't like twice at it. Its nothing eye-catching like a Rolex, Cartier, Montblanc, Jaeger etc...

One of the employees at the Apple Store said he had only seen a few non-employees with them.
Cashier at Whole Foods was actually talking about them with the customer in front of me, then started asking about it when I used it to pay.
At Panera the cashier looked extremely confused when I used it to pay.

I know it's off topic but thanks! I think next time we go we may try Kauai. The older we get the more we are looking for complete relaxation and the experience. I'd hope we're the kind of tourist that don't ruin it for locals.

The waitress I had in Friday's on Friday night must have asked at least five questions on it, she seemed really interested, I told she ought to order herself one
I've also had some comments from people at work, including my boss who said he didn't understand the point of it, to which my response was you wouldn't your phone is made by Sony. I also got asked about it by a friend on Friday night and he literally lost his mind when I used it to change the song in the car

I got busted using it to send a crudely drawn cock to a team mate after roller derby training today 🙂 My other team mates had a laugh and called me a geek in a friendly way.
That's it so far 🙂

If you take a watch off at night what's the difference between letting it sit on the counter vs attached to a cable.

Actually if you use the Apple watch just as a watch and nothing else you can re-charge it just every 60 days...Not so bad.

I went to the supermarket today and overheard someone say "Look, that guy has got an Apple Watch". I just looked over and smiled 🙂

Well me experience has been interesting.
My UPS driver was about 2:30 hours later than his normal delivery time. Apparently someone changed their mind, decided at the last minute to turn from the right lane in front of him and he had to slam I his brakes and got hit. He apologized profusely for being so late.
Then I got stopped at a landscaping shop yesterday by the employees and had to show off my watch to everyone working there, and explain what apps I had been using- all less than 24 hours after receiving the watch. They were shocked I received mine on Friday. "How did you manage that?!" Lol.

Antiques of the past? You should probably look at the list of best selling watches last year and years prior. All of those makers are on that list. I know this is an Apple forum and we love our tech but seriously, an Apple Watch is a toy compared to those brands I mentioned above. The Watch is what it is, a cool new piece of tech for tech lovers and Apple fans but thats about it. Also, your Apple Watch will be a thing of the past in a year when the new one is out , anyone still lust after first gen iPhones, iPods or iPads? Those are only a handful of years old and already irrelevant. A Rolex, Cartier, Jaeger etc...hold their values incredibly well and will still be relevant and lusted after 25 years from now. Its not even a comparison.

It was an ill advised response by someone who obviously knows nothing about classic watches. Great post, but I wouldn't have wasted a minute responding to that 🙂
It's not just about the watch. It's about the attitude and creepiness of it making a customer feel uncomfortable. Maybe you need to put it into another context and not just the watch. Replace watch with your significant other or something/someone important to you and see how you would react. No one in CS or public roles should be acting in that manner.

Since I haven't got the Apple Watch yet, I can't speak of real-life situations. However, I would definitely like the attention once I have one. Not for every day, but the first few days. When I had the iPhone 6 back in September and used it at school, everyone was saying things such as "Hey, you've got the iPhone 6!" or asked me if they could try it out a bit.
Anyway, if anyone is going to ask if they can try out my Apple Watch once I have it, I will refuse. But I wouldn't mind at all if people are asking things about it. After all, I am kind of 'the iPhone guy' at school. And once I have that beautiful watch from Apple, I will become 'the Apple Watch guy'. xD
By the way, I'm not the only one who has an Apple device in class. But since I'm in training to become System Administrator, about 75% of my class owns an Android device. Last week someone told me how crappy the Apple Watch must be. Well, you're right. I'd rather have an Android Wear watch. *not*
To come back at the story, I will love the 'public attention', as long as it's not going to be something that occurs every day. 🙂

Actually, I think the Milanese loop will be one of the harder ones to steal. It's continuous, and a snug fit over your hand (mine at least) to get it off. It does NOT just fall off when the magnet clasp is released.
By a very small portion of the population. I know people think their small circles are larger than they are, but they really aren't.
