Default Apple Watch

Not sure if want. It's pretty reasonably priced, and it does more than tell time, so it's basically better than any watch. But is it actually going to be useful and worth the price? Anyway, glad Apple is trying a new market. What say you?

Which is fine for me, but honestly it'd be a thousand times cooler as a standalone device. The next generations are probably going to be independent rather than little iPhone feti.

I'm guessing he doesn't use his as a stupid personal trainer then. Good. Honestly who needs a damn watch to tell you how many steps you took?

What'd the price end up being? I read quite a bit about it today and can't see myself using one regularly. But eh. A couple things about it seemed neat?

More or less. And yeah, $350.

Also in 2 years a new one will come out and you'll look like a huge dork if you have the old one. So the cost to keep upgrading should be considered...

Hey while we're talking about Apple did anybody else wake up this morning to find the new U2 album already in their iTunes? I feel violated.

i cant even think about this shit anymore without dwelling on how the most profitable consumer products company in history as well as all its competitors scramble to fit in as many new amazing incredible features in a never ending series of fantastical gizmos and yet the unprecedented apex of global economic supply and demand and exponentially advancing technology have still failed to even come close to producing a single device with even a tiny shitty optional solar cell, or that is designed to last over 2 years or be somewhat recycleable, or that isn't completely dependent on a suicidal labor force and radioactive rare earth mining

"If you move from one time zone to another, Apple Watch automatically adjusts."

I can't wait to get one! Basic math is a twentieth century skill that needs to go the way of the covered wagon.

now they're used primarily for accessories/jewelry. it's trendy to get digital watches for some dumb reason

expensive watches will never go out of style though, how else will people know you're rich?
