And honestly, that's all you need from a smart watch. I don't need to check Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. from my watch. Just give me notification when someone texts/emails/calls and I'm content with that. Are people really going to be sitting around and scrolling through Facebook on their watch?
This product has been in the works for the better part of 6-7 years....longer than Apple TV
I was reading papers on this thing in 2007.
the estimates are huge
Those watches are nice. I anticipate a resurgence of watch wearing amongst the young people.
Well, he's not wrong. Problem is you can sub in just about any company in this country and he'd still be right.

I feel the same way. I think I will only use it for running because I don't want the attention from others either. I know there are other far cheaper options, but I like Apple and figured I'd give it a shot.

That's like saying your handheld tetris game does a great job of playing games, I'm not sure why you'd want a MacBook.jawbone 3 ships april 20th.
Does everything you actually want in a fitness tracker if that's your primary goal in getting something on your wrist.
lol, except the jawbone Up uses a more advanced/accurate calorie tracking technology and doesn't need to be recharged every 15 minutes.That's like saying your handheld tetris game does a great job of playing games, I'm not sure why you'd want a MacBook.jawbone 3 ships april 20th.

Does the jawbone 3 have music? The main reason I'm getting the watch is because I can put a few songs on it from iTunes and head out and run with some wireless headphones. I don't really need all the tracking and stuff, just something small that plays music.That's like saying your handheld tetris game does a great job of playing games, I'm not sure why you'd want a MacBook.jawbone 3 ships april 20th.

Have been waiting for mine to get delivered for months. I think they made changes based on the iPhone. Looking forward to it.jawbone 3 ships april 20th.

I'm not getting an Apple watch because I have not been able to find out if iBooks is even on the watch. When I go running or biking, I like to read and if the Apple watch cannot have books on it, then it doesn't work for me. A clear overlook by Apple to not include iBooks on the watch. Terrible.Does the jawbone 3 have music? The main reason I'm getting the watch is because I can put a few songs on it from iTunes and head out and run with some wireless headphones.

lol, of course the jawbone up has great battery life.. it hardly does anything. I hardly ever have to change the batteries in my alarm clock either.lol, except the jawbone Up uses a more advanced/accurate calorie tracking technology and doesn't need to be recharged every 15 minutes.That's like saying your handheld tetris game does a great job of playing games, I'm not sure why you'd want a MacBook.jawbone 3 ships april 20th.

If you want to wear an early generation iphone on your wrist, by all means get the watch.
I ordered the same at like 3:01. My ship date is the 4/24-5/8. What time did you place your order?
Accurate.... though the $10k version is more of a publicity stunt than a viable product IMO. I'm envisioning far more of those being given away to celebs to wear visibly than being actually purchased.... At least I hope so...
I don't think it's criticism is purely on price.Don't worry fellas, other companies will make watches for poor people, too.
Pssst... those watches are all round. Everyone knows that only out-of-touch IT dorks wear round watches these days.I don't think it's criticism is purely on price.Don't worry fellas, other companies will make watches for poor people, too.
The LG Urbane is going to be just as expensive but much more functional and stylish....

... considering you won't need to have a smartphone with you.
Of course, if a person was looking for a "dumb-smart-watch" that requires a phone to be in your pocket you are right there are much more economical options already out there. At $180 I think the Moto 360 is a good "dumb-smart-watch"....

... or if you have a .edu email address you can get one for $155...

Both look better and are either just as functional or more functional than what apple is offering.

About the only line of logic I've heard from those buying this.Don't worry fellas, other companies will make watches for poor people, too.
The funny thing about it is that what you are trying to play off as Schtick is real Apple loyal mentality.So many will buy this because..... Apple. Just as well because, as so many times before, it doesn't hold up beyond that.shtick detectors need recalibrating up in here... And maybe take this stuff a LITTLE less seriously.

dude I've said repeatedly in this thread this thing is not worth it and I won't be getting one. It's cute that people actually get personally involved in / offended by the success of a product. Why do you care if it sells or if someone prefers it to the "better values" out there?
Wouldn't an obvious answer be that it just looks a lot nicer and its more of a status symbol. Like why you'd by an entry level bmw or mercedes instead of an accord or camry.About the only line of logic I've heard from those buying this.Don't worry fellas, other companies will make watches for poor people, too.
Half dozen friends quite seriously can't even give an answer to why they would buy this over any single alternative out there.
Apple cult loyalty is impressive.
Haha, you could only afford the Apple Sport!Wouldn't an obvious answer be that it just looks a lot nicer and its more of a status symbol.

The only thing more ridiculous than The cult of Apple is the folks who deny that Apple products in general are superior to their counterparts, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.The funny thing about it is that what you are trying to play off as Schtick is real Apple loyal mentality.So many will buy this because.....
