Support NeoGAF

[Breakage]

Isn't that around when steve jobs died? Probably isn't a coincidence.

Yeah, although I remember Apple saying the iPhone 5 had input from Jobs.

 

[studyguy]

The new strap attachment mechanism thing is like, you had HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE APPLE SHOWED UP, WATCH INDUSTRY

hahaha

 

[mercenar1e]

and in 7 years the iWatch 8 will be 50% faster than the original!

 

[gofreak]

No GPS? Useless for running then.

Yeah, slightly surprising. Do other smart watches include GPS? Would be nice to ditch the phone when running etc.

 

[mreddie]

Convince me this is better than the 360, you're not doing a good job so far.

 

[totowhoa]

No GPS on the device itself?

What the hell are you doing, Apple?

Re: all the GPS comments, I'm sure they're intending you to have your iPhone on you for that. It's very much going to be a complementary device, so it makes sense to me even if it's less ideal for running. Still not hard to carry your phone while you run, though.

Edit: whoops didn't hear them mention this in the stream already

 

[Downhome]

Is there no other stream where I can watch this other than what is in the OP?

 

[Soulstar]

I actually like how it looks but I'm afraid to admit it because I'll be called an apple fanboy or a hipster.

 

[Einbroch]

No one has mentioned or confirmed either yet.

There's little LEDs to read your heart rate. It uses the GPS from your iPhone.

If it had GPS it wouldn't need the phone.

 

[Dalek]

I'm fucking sold on this. Looks amazing.

Spoiler

Please don't be 500 bucks

 

[gimmmick]

Man this gizmo is going to make apple a lot of money for the next 5 years.

 

[whatsinaname]

"We have worked closely with horological experts" to understand timekeeping, Ive says.

lmao

WTF? It is a digital watch. It syncs with a server to get the correct time. What timekeeping is involved here?

 

[EviLore]

Honestly, I think I'll get one just for fitness tracking, not for day to day use. Accurate heart rate monitoring in a watch would be nice. I don't like chest straps.

 

[helloresolven]

It'll be interesting to see it in a year, when it is thinner.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Nap time.

 

[Toki767]

Love the reactions here. You'll be walking around with one by the end of 2015, haters!

Maybe when they make the second model better.

 

[MThanded]

How much is this going to be?

Ridiculous i assume.

I'll get one for the heart rate monitoring. Worth if for that alone. I assume they got it right.

 

[njean777]

I have a feeling it is coming out October 9th every slide has that time posted.

 

[nib95]

That looks better.

Not that I'm buying any of these devices, but the Moto 360 looks considerably more sophisticated.

 

[Gandie]

No one has mentioned or confirmed either yet.

Yes they have

"GPS with your Iphone"

 

[DopeyFish]

two sizes?

 

[sixteen-bit]

they gonna sell hella straps

 

[T.O.P]

It's pretty good looking


Awaiting for the price now

 

[SyenceLabb]

The more I watch this video, the more I like the watch. I will reserve judgement until I see it in person. The UI is slick though.

 

[kaskade]

Those bracelets are going to be expensive. I wonder if they will use them to offset the cost of the watch.

 

[flyover]

It's growing on me actually.

The UI looks amazing.

This is why it'll be good, despite its looks. Its so well designed.

 

[Gamerloid]

Apple's excitement for this thing seems high. What could that mean for the price? ha ha

 

[R1CHO]

That may look worse, but at least is an independent device I can use to replace my phone while doing sport or shit like that... which to be honest is the only useful thing i can see about an smartwatch.

 

[HighResTomato]

Anyone want to guess the price? Has to be reasonable right? Don't see casuals spending 400$ on a watch.

 

[Wiktor]

That's one butt ugly watch.

I like how the new iPhones look, altough I'm sad they don't seem to have anything new in smaller sizes. Will propably stick to iPhone5 for another year.

 

[Squalor]

Yes we all hate it because Apple not because it's another hideous rectangular smart watch that only nerds will wear.

You're on NeoGAF, and you're using the word "nerd" as some kind of epithet, right...

I'll be sure to ignore everything you have to say.

 

[AstroNut325]

I like the way it looks. Just not sold on the functionality!

 

[RevoDS]

So what's the price? $199?

Multiple prices. They talked about a product range, and there are aluminum and (actual) gold versions which I somehow doubt cost the same.

 

[jts]

Put me up for a Plus and a watch, maybe.

SHUT UP WALLET

 

[friskykillface]

XL watch to match with iphone 6 plus


wonder how much the watch is

 

[VeeP]

I'm reading theVerge right now and...

That Patel guy wrote this:

"The new strap attachment mechanism thing is like, you had HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE APPLE SHOWED UP, WATCH INDUSTRY."

He knows you can change straps on watches right? Right?

 

[The Real Abed]

No GPS? Battery life better be stellar.

It'll work in tandem with your iPhone. The phone will include the important stuff so the watch can have less running at once.

Too bad I don't wear watches.

If only the 6 had that induction charging though.

 

[robertsan21]

release dates for the iphone 6 in Sweden?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not that I'm buying any of these devices, but the Moto 360 looks considerably more sophisticated.

It does, but the round screen also cuts off a bunch of the UI/apps and the battery is awful.

 

[kharma45]

No wonder the keynote was short...

 

[Dany]

guess apple watch sports is for me...

 

[phaonaut]

The bands are nice.

 

[AlexMeloche]

I wonder if it's waterproof.

 

[JohnsonUT]

Does the screen go to sleep?

[NotBacon]

Ugly.

HE HAS SPOKEN

 

[insignia16]

No GPS? Well I guess I'll be sticking my Nike+ watch for my runs and regular watch usage

 

[Rafy]

I am really worried about that magnetic clasp. This thing is going to be very easy to steal!

 

[SeanR1221]

All these knee jerk reactions bring me back to the iPad reveal
