Will I wear one? Fuck no! But, I can't wait to laugh at the people that do

[EddyTheDog]

I will wait until there is a decent Android alternative...

[420]

Yo, my phone has a clock on it and a bigger screen.

[ShowMe69]

nope, Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave looking at that half ass design

[VikingMan]

Apple has officially "jumped the shark". I think a better name for the iWatch will be "iAmStillaVirgin". You gotta wonder if a former Microsoft exec was hired on at Apple and came up with this fuckbrained idea.

[CAHEK]

Fuck that ! Iwatch its for only for nerds and kids lol

[Sly]

Most of their products are pretty sexy. This is not sexy. I can't even think of a way to make a digital watch sexy. Not sure that it's possible? Should have stayed away for that fact alone, LOL.

[phypon]

What's next? Cologne?

[Jman]

I will wait until there is a decent Android alternative...

They do it's called the S5

Make it bigger and wear it around your neck. With optional gold chain.

[VSKevin]

Fuck this. The Moto 360 shits on this and looks beautiful:

Oh, and it's $100 cheaper.

[thegreatestporn]

Won't the letters be super small? That can't be good for your eyes.

[fitzmulti]

Squint much??

[NaughtyRob]

Stock will rise, Apple will make tons.

[Scott McD]

Will I wear one? Fuck no! But, I can't wait to laugh at the people that do

I'll join you...

[MaDalton]

Stock will rise, Apple will make tons.

well, it does go up and down like crazy today - if you deal in large volumes you could have made a nice profit

[The Porn Nerd]

iWatch....Apple go down the shitter.

[DVTimes]

i would have one.

but i have an s4 phone.

[Rochard]

So basically at this point it's official - Apple is no longer the leader, but now trails behind by about a year. They finally have a bigger screen, and now they are launching a new product - a watch - that Samsung already has out.

[LongBucksVip]

Never. Won't change my swiss watch for that.

[djroof]

Who cares for Apple... when u have Android...

[Ross]

I'm getting iPhone 6 but I doubt I will buy the watch, I just don't see the need for wearables yet. I prefer my nice watch that my wife bought me or the ones I like to buy myself that I can keep for a long long time to come. I'm not about to get into the smart watch market and continuously upgrade my watch as new versions come out.

[czarina]

Never had an i-something... not about to start now!

[Rochard]

I will wait until there is a decent Android alternative...

If you are talking about watches.... There is the Samsung Gear 2.

[greg80]

I think I will stick to my Rolex

That photo just got me rock hard.

Who needs that Apple shit when you've got this that came out last week:



Moto 360 baby! Runs primarily Google Now and is freakin' gorgeous as a first time round smart watch.

[_Richard_]

come a long way..

[DVTimes]

The big question is battery life.

If it lasts 24 hours or less, then your going to get fed up charging it each day.

[2MuchMark]

LOL to all the hating Sheeples. I don't think any of you really paid any attention to the presentation or read anything at all about the new products.

The Apple Watch is pretty interesting. The Nike Fuelband came out a couple of years ago and it is a pretty good product for people who want to excursive and stay fit. I credit this product to help me get started to get out of bed earlier, job or bike, and draw attention to the slob I was becoming without it.

My Fuelband died somehow though and surprise, I'm getting sloppy.

So the new Apple iPhone takes over for this and seems to have alot more features than the fuelband and with better integration too, with the Fitness app and other apps.

But so what, ok, its a fitness monitor. Check out what else it can do. It's a remote control for your Apple TV. It's a remote viewfinder for your Camera. You can read an email on the watch and then hand it off to your iPhone 6, and its backward compatible with the iPhone 5's. It gets its power from inductive charging.

Oh and this is cool: The Apple Watch works with Apple Pay. Pay for things just by swiping your watch. Awesome!

Now granted, the sales pitch is tiring. Clearly they are talking and walking just like Steve Jobs did and YAWN it's dull now, and I think the price of the watch is pricey at $349, but so what I'm sure it will do well.

The iPhone 6 looks amazing too. 1920x1080 Resolution. 7.1mm thick. 64 Bit. A8 Chip. 1080p HD Video at 60FPS and 240FPS Slow Motion. Fingerprint security, blah blah.

Of course you can still prefer Android and thats fine, but anyone who thinks Apple is going down the tubes just has their head in the sand.

All that is nice but would you really wear one out in public?

[SplatterMaster]

It looks like an old Casio with fewer buttons

No one under 60 wants a watch. I don't care what it does.

LOL the Apple subreddit has this as one of it's top threads:

[2MuchMark]

All that is nice but would you really wear one out in public?

I would of course wear one if I was to buy one. Then again I don't plan to until I see more apps for it. I'm not much of a watch guy but I guess I would if I found it useful and if it looked good. I have a $100 watch that I like because my GF bought it for me a few years ago. It's just stainless steel, not Gold or anything like that, but I like it for more than what it is. I don't think I would ever buy a rolex or similar big brand name.

[ErectMedia]

Not a watch guy, got 2 nice watches and a spy watch but rarely wear them. Will buy the iPhone though.

[anexsia]

I would not be caught dead in public wearing that abomination

[Joshua G]

i would be searching for short positions in anticipation of disappointing sales. Just the lightest dash of letdown will cause an avalanche of selling.

apple stores will smell like sears by christmas.

[Brent 3dSexCash]

This is just as stupid as Google Glass.

[NETbilling]

No way - those things are cheap and look like they came out of a gum ball machine.

I have a feeling the Apple watch will have a killer interface and the motion technology they have been discussing and other features seem really amazing.

You are wrong. Nice watches are appreciated by millions.

[Markul]

I will wait until there is a decent Android alternative...

The new Samsung Gear Watches is far more superior technically than the iWatch, the Galaxy S5 also seems to beat even the new iPhones.

I guess every empire starts to crumble when their dictator dies

That Moto 360 looks interesting - I actually like the round dial - The main problem for me with watches is I have a severe nickel allergy - Almost all have some nickel in them, even the so called solid gold ones...

[Seth Manson]

I'm not crazy about how it looks. But it's features and integration with the iPhone make me want one.

[AdultKing]

When the original iPad came out everyone ridiculed that also.

I think the Apple Watch will sell in the millions.

[Lykos]

I will, me like it
