It's a watch

 

[EroticSushi]

Apple Watch Edition: 18K Gold, metallurgists have developed to be twice as hard as standard gold.

Apple Watch Sport: Ion exchanged cover glass, anodized aluminum case that's 60% stronger than standard alloys, incredibly light and durable.

 

[hivycox]

wait...you can't use the watch without an iPhone?!?!?!

sorry but thats bs

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

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 and think it looks just okay.

That moto one posted above is sex though.

 

[McHuj]

Really curious for the battery life on this thing

 

[soundahfekz]

Fair enough, but then even Samsung's new watch looks better imo.

That's ugly too.

Only good looking watch so far has been the Moto 360, and by all accounts beyond looks it sucks.

I think i'll wait a generation on the wearables.

 

[Dominator]

Vita bubbles were ahead of their time.

 

[Krev]

iPhone required with watch...

I love how they just stealthily dropped that bombshell as an aside.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Welp, Apple forced me not to buy an Apple Watch since it requires an iPhone. Not unexpected, but now confirmed.

 

[Two Words]

Over or under $201?

 

[Hasney]

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

The iPad 1 wasn't great either. This might get there with some generational refinements, but it ain't there yet.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Disappointed in the phone design. No 4 inch iPhone 6. It still has all that boarder area. The camera stuff is great. iOS8 stuff is cool but that's not what everyone was here for today.

Would have been excited to see something like this mockup

Now THAT would have been amazing.

Curved anodized aluminum? Bleh.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Everyone already has an iPhone so nbd

 

[kitchenmotors]

Fair enough, but then even Samsung's new watch looks better imo.

If Apple move away from the bubbly look, and back to the slick, machines, straight edged chamfered look, it'd be more appealing for me personally.

That's the first Samsung watch... they're on the 3rd gen now.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

confirmed not standalone (requires iPhone)

Not that i would buy one, but that is fucked up somehow...

 

[Pachimari]

So iPhone is required for the Apple Watch.

I'm out.

Until next year.

 

[Backfoggen]

Hearing the words "digital crown" is like getting stabbed every single time

 

[The Real Abed]

So apparently you can use the watch as a remote for the camera shutter on your phone. I guess it'll have a timer. Really neat.

 

[Kathian]

It's a watch

A digital watch!

 

[friskykillface]

Over or under $201?

$299

 

[Opus Angelorum]

A smart watch requires a phone to function properly.


Read that a couple of times over.

 

[MThanded]

OK that face is sick.

 

[e_i]

iPhone is required for the Apple Watch.

Wow...so surprising.

 

[clem84]

Fair enough, but then even Samsung's new watch looks better imo.

Both of Samsung's phone and watch look way better IMO. For the phone, who cares but a watch's look is important.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Looks a bit industrial in design but seems to actually control pretty well.

 

[Einbroch]

Over or under $201?

Over. $249 for the bigger one (the one you want), $199 for the smaller one.

 

[StuBurns]

I want one, real bad.

 

[ScepticMatt]

.

it looks much better with one of these bands.

 

[Mysterious]

Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave at this shit show.

Apple joining the ranks of Microsoft and Nintendo now.

 

[freenudemacusers]

hmm with a metal band it kind reminds me of my casio a158

 

[jediyoshi]

The UI really is just terrible.

So you're saying it's a watch

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Everyone already has an iPhone so nbd

They have an 18% worldwide market share.

 

[Guess Who]

Flyyyy me to the moon, and let me play among the stars~

 

[victreeb3l]

Budget watch.

lol.

If I go for one it will probably be that.

Pretty much lol. The rest look too dressy for me.

 

[Gandie]

So without contract it is likely way more than 1000 € for Phone + Watch.

 

[maxiell]

Isn't it a bit scary that the guy demonstrating AppleWatch has to take it off his wrist and use two hands to operate it successfully?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

iPhone required?

 

[mreddie]

iPhone required? Nope.

 

[subrock]

Black stainless allllllll day. These are really growing on me.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Pressure sensitive!!! You know the next Ipad will have that now

 

[HighResTomato]

You "fly to the moon", crowd goes "wooohh!!!"

 

[CharminUltra]

Is this thing going to be like $500+?

 

[cebri.one]

...did he just say iPhone is required with Apple Watch?

Apple fanboys will love this, the feel of exclusivity.

 

[DrM]

So without contract it is like way more than 1000 € for Phone + Watch.

Probably twice that price....

 

[Hasney]

Please tell me there's folders for apps.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Over. $249 for the bigger one (the one you want), $199 for the smaller one.

Smaller one?

Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave at this shit show.

Apple joining the ranks of Microsoft and Nintendo now.

Looks like a Fischer Price toy, kinda, with the whole square/rounded edge design.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave at this shit show.

Digital crown? not by Steve

 

[Maninthemirror]

Watch screen is pressure sensitive!!

 

[studyguy]

iphone reqs automatically knock me out of the running.

 

[NotBacon]

Not even close
