A smart watch - especially for an early adopter - is likely going to be a paper weight in 2-3 years. |

It looks like they did a nice job with it. Unfortunately, I'm still not convinced there's a real market for smart watches - at least at those price points.

You're right about the price points.. the Apple price points are ludicrous and even the Android price points are too high right now. Watches will take off if/when the price for a decent one is around $200 AND more importantly it actually does something people feel they really need. |

As far as the "what it does" argument goes, I never dropped a hundo on a Fitbit like a lot of people have recently and there is an app I use 20x times per day on my phone which will be a lot more accessible on my wrist. I've seen a surprising number of 360s around and the people that have them generally like them. I'm not an Android person so that's not an option. |

Android Wear is supposed to have iPhone compatibility soon.
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/03...-compatbility/ $400 for something with a 2-3 year life cycle seems ridiculous to me especially given the extremely limited usefulness. Other than fitness(which I care little to nothing about) it doesn't do anything I can't get from reaching in my pocket and pulling out my phone. It would be a different story if the device REPLACED a phone but it doesn't. |

I read that with regular use, you'd have to charge it like 3 times a day. If true, wow is this useless.

But you'd be correct. Charging three times a day would be silly. I think I'll grab the black aluminum one. Eventually a stainless one with that loop style bracelet would be great, but I'm not jumping that far out there on the first generation. |

I just think rectangular watches look awful. Maybe that will change someday, but right now I think it is might just be fanbois who have to have the latest apple mobile gadget that will be rushing to get this. I wonder how they are going to do on getting people to camp out for it. If there are not long lines for it, it could be pretty embarrassing with the numbers they have pre-ordered.
