This is how a smart watch should look.

So they giving the 5c away for free. Apple is awesome.
It would be nice but I have my doubts.
First glance I like the watch but not that much. I've had to make enough concessions in my life being a south paw...
I suppose I could learn to read upside-down?

Phones on contract. Tablets, laptops, PCs, watches COD. Starting to think less trolling more just really that thick.
Round does look better but sadly it's horrible for displaying anything. You essentially just have a narrow horizontal band where you do all the reading - the top and bottom are useless.
It the same price as a OnePlus One.

I went back and checked. 6 plus is 399 cash and 299 on contract. I stand corrected.
There is a difference between trolling and just being wrong. I was wrong.

Not if things are designed for round...

Sure. Are you planning to read books on your watch? If yes, then you have a point.

I am sorry but I don't get this thing. You have to keep your phone in your pocket anyway to make calls. Why does anyone need it? It doesn't matter if it looks cool or not, there needs to be some functionality on it that makes it worthwhile to spend R4k+.
It's not the money - R4k for a watch is peanuts. The problem I have is spending R4k on a accessory that is part of an upgrade cycle.

It's part of the upgrade cycle if it's not good enough. My Note 2 is going into it's 3rd year now, it's so good. I have colleagues with Note 1's. I sold my iPhone 4 to my housemate, that was the 1st iPhone that was good enough.
My day to day watch is 50/60 years old, my dress watch at least 25. Do you think the technology in the Apple Watch is going to be compatible with phones four or five years from now, because I don't.
