Thanks to those with reasonable replies. I realize now that inductive was the wrong terminology. I think I meant passive induction, if there is such a thing, and that Moto dock is exactly what I'd pictured.
I'd figured Apple would come up with their own Qi-esque scheme and call it their invention. It would be nice to place it on a power mat at any angle.
Those accusing me of trolling might want to look at my join date and post count. Trolls are transient here. There are few if any trolls who have been here 8 years with 7K posts. Just because I don't have an Apple watch doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion about them. I'm sorry if that opinion isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
And if you really read the posts I've made about the Aplle watch, there are few if any truly disparaging comments. But once people see the word Rolex, good old knee-jerk internet snark becomes far easier than actually reading, for some people.
I have been a watch collector since the 1970s. I've owned hundreds watches; far more than the vast majority of people. I wrote for Timezone.com from 1999-2003. I've done freelance design for Microsoft SPOT and Audemars Piguet. I worked in a watch repair shop. For the majority of my life I have lived, eaten, slept and breathed wristwatches.
I'm also a massive Apple fan. I've owned tens of thousands of dollars worth of Macs, iPhones, iPads, ATVs, routers, keyboards, monitors, etc.
NO one wants to want an Apple watch more than me. EVERY single person I know has asked me multiple times which one I ordered, when it's arriving, etc. People I haven't spoken to in years emailed me when the watch was announced.
The fact that I am not getting one shocks everyone I know including me.
So yes, I have been hanging around here talking about the watch, even though I have decided to give it a pass for now.
Part of the reason I'm not getting one for now is that having seen what can be done with watch design, screen technology, charging, etc. over the years, I'm a little underwhelmed by many of the design choices Apple has made. Especially given how overwhelmed I have been with nearly all their other design choices, in the many products I've forked over cash for happily.
As the amalgamation of the very top two of my biggest obsessions, the Apple watch for me was a let down. And I'm sad about that. No one was rooting harder for it.
It's a watershed event for me to NOT own an Apple watch. And I will continue to prod and question and discuss it here like everyone else. To those who consider that trolling, you'll just have to deal.
