Really disappointed with both the watch and iPhone 6 designs

 

[Gustav]

its beautiful :')

 

[entremet]

Is there something in the water in Silicon Valley that makes these companies think anyone wants these watches?

Has anyone ever seen someone that doesnt post on a gaming forum wear one?

I've seen some women with the Samsung watches.

 

[CrankyJay]

is it even a touch screen?

 

[Social]

it looks like a first generation product alright, reminds me of the iPhone 2G/3G in terms of how bulky it looks.

 

[jmdajr]

Tell me what the senors do? Can they detect cancer?

 

[Jb]

Regardless of whether it's good or not, it is a pretty exciting unveiling from a geek POV. Reminds me of watching the iphone keynote in class in 07.

 

[SgtCobra]

Ugly.

You must be Swiss or something!!

 

[Goldenhen]

Wasn't this kind of the first Apple Watch?

It's actually iPod Nano with third party wristband.

 

[kingocfs]

Is it a touchscreen or not? Man fuck this thing.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Ive was way off base. The iWatch...Apple Watch won't cause watch manufactures to shake more in their boots.

 

[flyover]

It doesn't look the best, but its interface seems pretty great, which is what really matters, long term. The look can be improved.

 

[Altazor]

Design-wise, I think the Moto 360 is still my favorite.

Though the "crown" looks nice. I like its functionality, in theory.

 

[Vire]

The band just looks horrendously cheap and clunky. I don't get it.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Oh god that bubble UI is atrocious.

 

[Fantomex]

A dude with a calculator watch told me this watch was ugly....LOL.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Ugly.

Yep.

 

[paskowitz]

Am I the only one seeing a bit of PS Vita here?

 

[Buzzbrad]

The crowd must be set-up. They yell over everything.

 

[mrhej]

How long will these be taken away from kids in class?

 

[Owensboro]

Wasn't this kind of the first Apple Watch?

And I hope they learned a lot from it. The UI is what's going to make or break this thing.

 

[The Elite]

I like the idea but I'm trying to figure out when I would use it.

 

[freenudemacusers]

LO Fucking L
So much for beating the Moto 360 and the LG Watch R or what not.
I can't believe peeps are acting like it's the most revolutionary thing. It looks like a bunch of older smartwatches.
The only thing I really like is the interface.

Still, funny shit. I'll pick up an iPhone 6 for my mum.

well whatever you may think about it, it's going to annihilate the moto and lg watch sales wise

 

[Krev]

There is nothing unique or innovative on any of the announcements they made today. Seriously.

Everything announced has been done already by other brands. I am not gunning them for making a watch, but it doesn't do things that nothing else can do.

Seriously. I don't think they'll ever recapture the raw shock of the iPhone unveiling.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yeah, it's not terrible looking. Easily the best of the square watches, but the moto360 looks better imo (besides the wristband maybe). But not as good as I was expecting from Apple. I think this is the first of the new smart watches with more than one point of touch though I'm not sure how useful that will be on such a small face. I think the dial is a more important differentiating factor.

 

[Arozay]

Digital crown is literally the clickable mouse wheel.

 

[ElFly]

What if you're left handed and wear the watch on your right wrist? you'll be blocking the entire thing with your left hand pressing that button

You learn to use it right handed like any intelligent person.

SRSLY, it will probably be configurable, so the only problem would be the button and wheel are in the opposite places when you switch the strap.

 

[JonCha]

I will say they have done a very good job with the interface. Very good.

 

[entremet]

Is it a touchscreen or not? Man fuck this thing.

Yes.

 

[Majine]

This is the first good Smartwatch UI I've seen.

 

[Dalek]

"It's just a big iPhone. What's the big deal?"

 

[LordOfChaos]

I see sensors on the underside and the belts. Hm...

Same as the 360, or I think most smartwatches.

Seem bigger on the Apple one though, and perhaps more different sensors.

 

[CastleBravo]

Is this watch actually going to sell?

 

[Breakage]

Apple's mobile products have been getting progressively uglier since the 4/4S.

 

[Bricky]

Credit where credit is due, I like the GUI. Better than Android Wear.

But then again, Apple has always had the upper hand in UI design and slickness.

 

[Somnid]

I think they're trying to do too much with this. A good smartwatch is simple, this doesn't seem like that.

 

[Creamium]

Have to admit, this could be great if you like using the map/gps while walking in a city

 

[Pbae]

Ugh, please stop calling it a digital crown...IT'S ANALOG DAMMIT

 

[m_shortpants]

lmao the design of the iwatch. What a piece of shit. You would think apple designers could do better than ripping off the terrible galaxy gear design.

Jony Ive had the audacity to say that swiss watch manufacturers should've been sweating.

With a square design that looks like an 80s Seiko or Casio digital watch (strictly speaking about aesthetic design). Lmao.

That LG round watch looks way better.

 

[ZhugeEX]

bit late but this actually works

[SirMossyBloke]

well whatever you may think about it, it's going to annihilate the moto and lg watch sales wise

The only people who care about sales are Apple and their shareholders. It's still an awful watch.

 

[PaulExcellent]

well whatever you may think about it, it's going to annihilate the moto and lg watch sales wise

That's definitely true.

which means its 10x better because reeeeeeeeeeeeasons

 

[victreeb3l]

Fuck it I want it in white.

 

[Trojita]

Wow "Digital Crown"

Apple is becoming a parody of itself.

 

[studyguy]

There's the Sapphire...

 

[Incandenza]

Gurl lemme send you my heartbeat

 

[gofreak]

Is it a touchscreen or not? Man fuck this thing.

Good question actually...they seem to be making a big deal of the fact that the screen is unobstructed when interacting with the device so...maybe not?

edit - oh wait, they're talking about touch control now...so yeah...

 

[Shalashaska161]

The digital crown looks neat, but it just looks bad. It's not something I'd ever want to wear on my wrist.

 

[Krev]

Dick pics - coming soon to a wrist near you!

 

[Dany]

brb, gonna vomit
