Apple Watch is official

Found this - water resistance - I doubt it will survive rain, if you can not wear it in the shower:


Who here still wears a "non-fitness watch" (i.e. anything but a watch you use for running, cycling or other sports)? I get the feeling that watches are disappearing and are being replaced with mobile phones, since you have it on you all the time any way. I don't get the point of getting notifications on your wrist because your phone is in your pocket - really?

Me and I'm having serious doubts about trading in my analogue for a smartwatch of any brand.

I'm not the only one apparently - http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-watchs-time-isnt-up-2013-07-01
 
The pictures thus far do not seem that visually appealing. I hope the actual watch looks awesome!

It's a pity that the chart only goes to 2012 - i.e. before smart-watches came to play. I also think that most watch sales nowadays, are luxury watches for investment purposes / collectors (at least that's what we are seeing on our marketplace).

But that's like saying that smartphones were only useful for businessmen and only if they had a qwerty keyboard, 8 years ago. You can't dismiss the potential market for a new device because the market doesn't currently exist. It's up to Apple/Google/Samsung to show people why they suddenly would want to start re-wearing watches and generate an appetite for a new class of product.

And the only thing different between the apple watch and my Gear 2 so far is the fact that the Apple Watch has a molar stuck in it from when they tried to take the bite out.


On a side note, I wonder when apple will start suing Samsung for gear 1 innovations.

Even though your comments are valid, I will refrain from commenting on it or adding my own thoughts, before I get accused again of trolling.

:D

You forget, Apple invented the Smartphone, tablet and now smartwatch. It simply did not exist before them. :D

Edit, oh and personally I am holding out for Sony's SW3 (Technically its 4th generation but someone somewhere lost count)

LOL i hear you. Did you listen to them do the presentation? I hate how condescending they are and pretend how everything they reveal is new.

And the crowd went wild everytime they announced something. I first thought, o lots of support for apple, crowd wasnt as lively for the recent samsung event. But at the end i realised that half the crowd was apple employees when they were asked to stand up LOL praising themselves, so vain...
