Apple iWatch Do you want?
Looks solid, but i must say.......it looks like an attractive way to get yourself mugged if your walking around with $500 to $1000+ on your wrist. Thoughts?

Because there's not currently a market for watches more than $500.

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.

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

You read incorrectly. 18 hours was what they said yesterday with about two hours to recharge.

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.

Even if I thought this was a cool idea, which I don't, I'd still wait a few years and get a better version for 1/3 the price.

They did an OK job with it but it is no different than the Android watches ... and NONE of them have any game changing usefulness yet.

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.

I love the idea of it and still toy with the idea of grabbing a Moto 360 just for fun, but I just can't justify paying that kind of money for a disposable device.

Same here. If you like the 360 check out the new Huawei when it comes out. It has the same form factor without the annoying black notch... full round display.

I don't know...$400 doesn't seem that insane. There isn't any difference in the electronics or software between the collections so if you go beyond the Sport you're choosing to be fancy.

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.

I'd buy one if it were < $200 and worked with an Android phone. Otherwise, no thanks.

$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'm on the same page if it also looked good (most of them including the Apple Watch are ugly as shit to me)

But do you think we'll ever see Apple make a product compatible with Android? Hell no.
