Same. I have a Suunto watch + chest strap for riding and invariably I end up taking the chest strap off. Does Moto 360 have HR monitor?

Yes it does, heart rate monitor, pedometer, waterproofing to 3.3 feet up to 30 minutes

 

[insignia16]

Moon phases!!! #gamechanger

 

[VeeP]

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

Ah, good point. I guess its easier to change straps on Apple Watch. I didn't read carefully enough I guess. I was just surprised because I change the straps on my watches occasionally.

 

[fantomena]

iPhone required?

 

[clem84]

what are the prices of Apple's new phones and the watch?

 

[victreeb3l]

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

Apple joining the ranks of Microsoft and Nintendo now.

You knew Steve Jobs IRL? Thats pretty dope man

 

[SpasilliumX11]

The competition seems more refined...

So beautiful. The only thing holding me back from getting that is the upcoming release of the G Watch R.

 

[Marty Chinn]

So is there no option for people who wear watches on their right wrist?

 

[ScepticMatt]

It will sell, Apple can sell almost anything.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Not a fan of watch design

 

[Einbroch]

Smaller one?

Yep.

 

[braves01]

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.

basically my thoughts

 

[Breakage]

I wonder why they didn't call it the iWatch.

 

[jyoung188]

Allergic Contact Dermatitis

I couldn't wear this watch even if I wanted it. Can't wear any watches with metal bands or backing. I break out and itch like crazy.

 

[shwimpy]

did they announce the release date for the 6+?

 

[sometimes i game]

Why did anyone expect it wouldn't rely on the iPhone?

 

[GeordieMark]

Did they mention battery life yet?

 

[Sai-kun]

Whoooooo! Coldplay promo!!!! Yassssss!!!

 

[Vire]

Why is the iphone required?...

 

[nib95]

Thank god fashion is subjective... because that is ugly as fuck too.

I agree. The only one I personally like the look of is the Moto 360.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Smaller one?



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

So does ios7/8. That's the Johnny Ive influence. It's nasty.

 

[AirBrian]

iPhone required? Oh that's rich.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wow "Digital Crown"

Apple is becoming a parody of itself.

No, they've always used terms like that. Reminds me of Dysons "digital motor" though, there is no such fucking thing, it's an analog motor with a digital controller.

 

[The Elite]

did they announce the release date for the 6+?

I think it's the 19th.

 

[18-Volt]

So iPhone is required for the Apple Watch.

I'm out.

Until next year.

Is there a smartwatch that doesn't require a smartphone to use it? I believe even Moto 360 requires a Android phone.

 

[entremet]

So is there no option for people who wear watches on their right wrist?

How so?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

shit I want one.

 

[DJ88]

The way the interface will work in tandem with the haptic feedback I'm sure will be one of those thing you won't get till you try it yourself. But when you do it'll be slick as fuck. The whole thing looks crazy slick.

And they aren't boasting about creating a dial. It's the way it integrates with and navigates the UI intuitively. The same way the click wheel made the iPod so great.

 

[Trojita]

The "live" tweets on the Apple Livestream are pretty gross.

 

[wetflame]

The watch reminds me a lot of the OG iPhone. I wonder if we'll have one as slim as the 6 in 8 years time?

 

[Bricky]

iPhone is required for the Apple Watch.

iPhone required ?

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

Android Wear needs an Android phone too to work. What did you expect? That it was a fully functioning phone on your wrist?

It's a glorified notification display. Really neat, but nothing more.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Smaller one?

 

[Kathian]

Why is the iphone required?...

Watch is probably going to be very cheap with good battery life.

 

[RoKKeR]

Smaller watch is a godsend. Based Apple.

 

[dc89]

I'm just putting this out there, I can't see this being less than £349 in the UK.

 

[Divvy]

Do people not understand how smartwatches work right now? They all require a phone to have full functionality.

 

[Two Words]

Poor Pluto.

 

[General_Frags]

Why is the iphone required?...

Apple.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Wrist tap for notifications., thats cool

 

[Orbis Tabula]

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?

A watch is designed to face the user. For him to operate with it on his wrist, he'd have to wear it upside down or have the camera over his shoulder.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Why is the iphone required?...

 

[sometimes i game]

Is there a smartwatch that doesn't require a smartphone to use it? I believe even Moto 360 requires a Android phone.

Yes Samsung makes one.

 

[rezuth]

I just find it amazing that the same guy who Jobs told to fuck off is now showcasing the AppleWatch

 

[wmlk]

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

Apple joining the ranks of Microsoft and Nintendo now.

You sound like an expert. Would you mind elaborating?

 

[zeroOman]

Over or under $201?

200 i think

 

[Somnid]

iPhone required? Oh that's rich.

Android Wear requires Android which is one reason I don't understand how there is any discussion of decision unless you own two phones.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Moto 360 for me..

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Is there a smartwatch that doesn't require a smartphone to use it? I believe even Moto 360 requires a Android phone.

Yes. The new Samsung watch.

 

[BFIB]

Moto360 looks a lot better than this. But knowing Apple, they'll find a way to make the battery the main attractor.

 

[Squalor]

Why did anyone expect it wouldn't rely on the iPhone?

The only people freaking out about that are people who don't have iPhones who weren't going to buy an Apple wearable anyway.
