iWatch - why do I want this...

[Marc Anthony]

I dislike the overall look, especially of the "crown" knob interface and the charger. I don't think the stock market will like it either, at that price. This thing is such a niche device with so few features that I strongly suspect it will soon sit beside the boom box as one of the few Apple products that totally bombed.

I liked just about everything about it.

Except: why no inductive charging yet?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

My first idea for a new app. "Find my amputated iHand."

[DRR]

I'll wait for version 2.0.

I expect lots of bugs in this version. Not to mention that the thing looks thick and bulky as hell.

I haven't worn a watch since I got my first cell phone. Why have two devices that tell me the time? But I suppose I'm not the target audience.

This seems to translate to "toy".

Not in my language.


I have always loved watches, but I had no idea I would want this, but I do.
I think there are so many cool things that it looks like it will do.

I pretty much knew I'd want it.

The more people whined that they had no idea why anybody would want this, the more I hoped that Apple would make a product that was anything but "me too".

And they did.

As far as I'm concerned, and really, I'm the only one that counts, they knocked it out of the park.

$349? Chicken feed, for what it is. I get that a lot of people won't want or need the AppleWatch. What I don't get is how so many people fail to appreciate just what it can do and that there are people who will really, really, like this watch.

And I won't be embarrassed to wear the a year from now.

I can't wait for it to ship!

[RAMd®d]

The 'Phones don't.

That's too bad, but I can live with that.

Maybe in the 6s.

[Gareth]

Yea, $349, ouch. I think $149 would have been awesome and $199 would have been an acceptable "Apple" price.

[decay]

why does it have to magnetically attach to charge?

it should have a pad you can lay it on.

[Paul F.]

More than I can justify... but I still want one.

Maybe by V3.0 the price will have crept down a bit and it'll have enough added features for me to consider one.
