Honestly, if the watch is something they're updating every year then I'll probably go back to traditional watches after my first gen becomes outdated.
How many people are going to buy a new watch every year?
As almost everyone who wants an Apple Watch has bought one by now, I question the demand for a new one next year.
My current watch has lasted me for about 30 years and is still going strong. I trust that current Apple Watches will last their owners as long.
I wish Apple would put this much focus into their computers.
But but... Steve would never make a watch without 2 GB of RAM.
This thing needs a file system to be productive!
This toy needs a USB port!
If it can't run OS X and full apps then it's a failure of a watch!
Am I MacRumoring right?
Oh yeah? Well, screw you for saying that!!You see a trend on MacRumors. That's the first problem with your post. This site is faaaaaar from an Apple enthusiast site. It is nothing of the sort. People here will hate on anything.
I really hope Apple adds utility and rethinks the price. I have only seen one in the wild, and current the Apple watch section in Apple stores is always dead. I think with some added functionality, I might be inclined to pick one up.. maybe..
I see a trend happening in Macrumors, people are becoming more critical of Tim Cook and skeptical of the path Apple is taking. If 2nd generation isn't a jaw dropper, then someone should get the boot!
...and nickname the project "Escobar"You may want to buy stock in Norelco...
Dunno about an Apple Watch, but I've bought about 7 watches so far this year. Not including theHow many people are going to buy a new watch every year?

A perfect illustration of the problem! Financial RESULTS say nothing about where the company is going - only where it's been.Hmmm....

I hope you are right on this. I would hate for my watch investment to last so little.
You mean how the first gen iPad should have had a back camera?A Facetime camera should have been on the first release.

Apple is slowly sinking because they have no truly new ideas in the pipeline. And if anyone should know this, it's MacRumors readers!
"Hey, let's create a watch! How about an auto?" These products are so old and established we haven't even had to specify "wrist watch" or "automobile" for 30, 40, even 50 years or more! Talk about a lack of imagination. People had already conceived of Dick Tracy watches and self-driving cars when Tim Cook was a boy. Perhaps Apple should partner with Disney - at least they'd get a little farther!

Since the Apple Watch was announced and "in the wild" in September 2014, if the Apple Watch 2 is release around September 2016, isn't that technically a 2-year cycle?
Why would you laugh at the first gen owners. I will just walk in to an Apple store and replace my first gen with a second gen without giving it a thought. Its called disposable income.LOL @ people who own a 1st Gen Apple Watch Edition when 2nd Gen releases.
Very interesting!I would bet a lot of money on it being waterproof. I'm developing a tennis app for the watch and came across this page, which lists all of the sports that developers can use to tag third-party workouts. As you can see, swimming, water polo, surfing, etc. are all on the list!![]()
