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?

I think it was just some over eager idiot who wrote the press release. Since Jobs died, crap like this slips out far more often than it should.

SoC goes back all the way to the early 2000s, hell you could claim even earlier but it's a bit of stretch.

I'm one of the minority that just feels naked without my watch but there is no way in hell I would fork out the money for something like this. Android or iOS. Now, get one down to under $200 that doesn't look like a cheap $25 plastic watch and lets talk.

The design factor of these watchs just looks cheap unless you are going for the super high dollar ones. I don't want my watch to stand out. Just want it to do the job I need.

EDIT

My last sentence probably seems contradictory so I'll adjust a little. What I mean is, I want my watch to look presentable but not stand out. Apple loves their colors and they don't want to be unnoticed. They want this watch to scream "I'm an iWatch"

No if they ever make this work like they plan to... I would totally fork over $300+ for one...

Here is where they are now...

Here is where they plan to go...

Going to YEARS away but in that time span the phone tech may miniaturize enough that a slightly larger version of this could replace your phone entirely.

EDIT: HA, just noticed the gay french dude has a basket on his bike.. wtf???
