The competition seems more refined...

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

No solid gold band? I am disappoint.

 

[Majine]

I think it looks cute. But also it does looks like a first-gen Apple product.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

TheVerge is going to be fun to read later today. At the same time, I don't want to even give them any views for a bunch of garbage

Oh, did they decide that they were gonna be a tech gadget blog today?

 

[Auctopus]

two sizes?

Men and Women's. Standard with most watches.

 

[Sapiens]

Like, can it like, always have the like, display on?

 

[MThanded]

18k gold.

i said what...

 

[MXRider]

please be water resistant or atleast sweat resistant.

 

[Arozay]

They were all wordy until it came to the smaller watch. "Dis is a smaller watch...."

 

[JaggedSac]

This is a gold mine for the teens. Holy moly they are going to sell so many of these different bands and casings. Profit margins are likely quite great with these things. I am sad they have brought credence to this silly market though

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

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

My digital integration with Android suggests otherwise.

Was hoping Apple brought a premium product to the table that made everyone step their A game up.

Instead it looks like a Toy.

And the UI doesn't look the slightest bit practical.

 

[dem]

Jony Ive narration is so wankerish

 

[victreeb3l]

Sport collection for me

 

[richiek]

I'm more hyped on the Apple Watch than the iPhone 6 now.

 

[GeordieMark]

This thing will sell fucking boatloads.

It's irrelevant whether it's good, bad or ugly. It's Apple.

Unless it kills kids, it's a winner.

 

[f@luS]

No price without contract yet ?

 

[Sigma722]

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

My only problem with the moto is that black bar at the bottom. Apparently that is a physically dead portion of the screen. I can't get over it. LG G watch has a full round one i believe. So I may have to go for that.

And for those complaining about "digital crown". You guys all realize that that part of the watch has always been called the crown, right? And you guys realize that it isn't analog just because it spins, right?

All this being said, I'm not really impressed with this watch.

 

[Squalor]

If only the 6 had that induction charging though.

A phone with inductive charging would be incredible.

 

[Social]

Apple truly is KING at product videos, waw. They can make anything look amazing

 

[thenexus6]

TheVerge is going to be fun to read later today. At the same time, I don't want to even give them any views for a bunch of garbage

Thats always the problem with the verge...

Not into watches but the Moto 360 is easily the best looking one by a mile

 

[ZeroX03]

The competition seems more refined...

It does look good. I think Apple Watch has better functionality, but darn if that isn't good design.

This announcement is good for all smartwatches or whatever you want to call them though. Like the MP3 player, smartphone and tablet marketplace before them, Apple open the door by making it a desirable product to the masses.

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

Or you know, people just like the look of it.

 

[Guess Who]

Yeah, how nice this looks depends heavily on the band and model.

Sports edition looks cheap. Metal bands look great.

 

[kaskade]

It's going to look really good in person. I'd hold judgements.

 

[Pastry]

They're going to make a killing off of this.

 

[Toki767]

Is the conference over? This is one of the longest Apple videos I've ever seen.

 

[Price Drop]

Shocked to see that after all this it looks this fug. The functionality seems nice but the bubble UI looks wonky and the gold version paired with other straps looks awful.

 

[Maninthemirror]

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

function wise Apple craps over the that.

 

[ReAxion]

i thought being an in apple store was frustrating before... bunch of people trying shit on now. ugh.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

The competition seems more refined...

Fuck that's sexy! I need one of those.

 

[Vyer]

some sort of new method for changing bands?

 

[NYR]

I'll wait until apple watch 2. You know this one is a beta test.

 

[Gustav]

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

I think it looks a little too macho.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Apple now selling gold and sapphires

 

[iNvid02]

It's going to look really good in person. I'd hold judgements.

i think so too with the customisation options

 

[Mashin Haters]

that's actually a parody account

yes i know that

 

[Veins]

Gold watches are sooooo tacky. Only old guys want them.

 

[gofreak]

Clever. Fans of the watch have every incentive to maybe pick up at least 2 of the models. A sports and an edition watch, for example.

Very curious about pricing now...

 

[The Elite]

Sport collection for me

Budget watch.

lol.

If I go for one it will probably be that.

 

[snacknuts]

I wonder if everyone who hates it ever had any intention of buying a digital watch (by Apple), anyway...

I wonder if everyone who claims it isn't fuck-ugly was going to buy an Apple watch no matter what it looked like...

 

[Radec]

This shit gonna be expensive.

 

[entremet]

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

The UI and fitness tracking are what is selling me on this thing.

I wouldn't use it for a job interview or wedding date.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I honestly believe Johnny Ive is the worst thing to ever happen to Apple.

 

[Vire]

The red and gold one is alright.

 

[Exile20]

Wow Apple convinced me I need the Moto 360 more.

 

[Squalor]

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

Remind me, how did that work out for Apple?

Haha.

I wonder if everyone who claims it isn't fuck-ugly was going to buy an Apple watch no matter what it looked like...

I'm not buying it. I said so pages ago.

There goes your wonder, troll.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

That looks considerably better.

You really have to be massively into drinking the Apple kool-aid to like this thing.

lol.

 

[Phreaker]

Can't wait to get my Apple Watch!

 

[EroticSushi]

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

This is exactly what comes to mind. Don't think this is something that will be accepted right away but will kick off and become the norm soon.

I like the interface but the design could do with some tweaking. Curious on the price.

 

[jediyoshi]

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?

What's the simplest strap changing mechanism there currently is? What watches use it?

 

[Junior Mint]

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.

Oh no what will I do now
