LOL is redundant if you have an iPhone...... Requires and iPhone...... and costs more than an iPhone. AppleWatch Dead on arrival.

 

[JaggedSac]

Works with Apple Pay too. How does it authenticate?

 

[Seth C]

Just imagine, that's $350 for the smaller watch none of you want, with the cheapest band and lowest quality build. The big gold one is going to be at least $600.

 

[bobawesome]

I thought he was gonna say it's iPad time.

 

[Fantomex]

Totally gonna get this. $349....HEEEEELLLLLOOOO Ol Trusty G Shock.

 

[The Real Abed]

So ApplePay works with the watch. How? Do you hold your thumb on the home button on the phone or does it somehow know who you are? Someone could steal both your phone and watch. I assume it has to know who you are. With the phone you use the Home button. Can the watch tell who you are from your skin contacting it or something?

 

[GitarooMan]

Insanely expensive for a secondary device. Don't think I can justify that, even though I like a lot of the features.

 

[smuf]

I really want to like this but it just looks awful. Here's hoping they fix it with the next revision.

 

[victreeb3l]

*iPhone not included

I already have one. I was legit expecting $5-600+ for the budget one

 

[Maninthemirror]

watch the price fall to 199 in a year just like the original iPhone and original iPad did

 

[Alienous]

350 dollars, and it's gonna sell like butter.

Apple is a religion.

 

[Brinbe]

Lol dre

 

[Radec]

U2 Time ?

Im out

 

[quickfire13]

Can not believe $350...I was just telling my friend that I would be getting a 4.7" and an iWatch yesterday...

I was completely wrong...gonna have to get a 5.5" and definitely NOT getting the Apple Watch

 

[studyguy]

DETOX

Bruh

 

[blackaroni]

No Apple TV updates?

 

[ramuh]

People going to be jacking watches in the street.

 

[ShowDog]

A decent Timex runs 150-200 and people y'all are balking at 350?

 

[CrazyDude]

Why do people think that $350 is expensive?

For a redundant product?

 

[LordOfChaos]

Since the UI is so dark I didn't notice how fat those bezels are...I think the 360 made the better tradeoff with the tiny sliver at the bottom rather than fat bezels all around.

 

[MThanded]

Works with Apple Pay too. How does it authenticate?

Through the phone.

 

[Oxirane]

So you hold the watch to the NFC terminal and press the home button on the phone with your other hand for TouchID?

 

[The Elite]

I thought he was gonna say its iPad time.

If iPad gets an update without an event it will be a quiet one on the site.

 

[TheAdventuresofSteph]

staring at about three fiddy

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I think it will sell well. But a large part of that will be because it's the only smart watch that you can use if you're in the Apple ecosystem. Everyone who had an iPhone and wants this will have to get the Apple Watch. But it's ugly.

 

[FloppyDelux]

So new no Ipad announced?

 

[RedShift]

I think I'll stick with my <£10 digital watch for now...

Maybe second gen.

 

[helloresolven]

U Playin' U2 To Me?

 

[giga]

I'm not sure if people are serious when they say it costs more than an iPhone? Are you guys serious?

 

[Ambitious]

I'll stick with my 20€ heart rate monitor.

 

[Flunkie]

U2 performance. Lol.

 

[JaggedSac]

Through the phone.

But you have to use Touch ID when paying with the phone.

 

[DJ88]

$350 for a glorified walkie talkie?

Haha yup that's what this totally is.

I hope someone is saving these.


I want one, but fuuuck. That price is rouugh

 

[Social]

U2, can only think of south park when I see that douche.

yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!

 

[phxxBullet]

Battery Apple how long??

here you go

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

lol at people applauding for the watch to ALSO work with pre-6 iPhones. It'd be fucking insulting if it didn't.

Also, lmao at people expecting this under $200. Are you kidding?

$350 will get you a Atomic chronograph that actually looks good.

I really wonder if anyone defending apple right now wears watches.

This is ridiculous.

 

[General_Frags]

No Apple TV updates?

Not even the Xbox One could redefine TV.

 

[victreeb3l]

Ugh U2 concert

People really go nuts for them like that?

 

[Raistlin]

Lol U2 playing ... that explains their pricing on all this shit

 

[zeroOman]

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.

So u are going to buy something that will cost alot of $$$ just for the fitness tracking...

Edite: 350$ ......

 

[WaffleTaco]

This is an excellent analogy, Android Wear and Apple Watch are to watches what iPad and Android Tablets are to ebooks.

I got an iPad because I did not want to buy an e-reader that could only read books.

 

[Plasmid]

why are people cheering for u2

is it 2004?

 

[sixteen-bit]

iPod is dead
This is sad

kinda wish they dropped a 128 GB Classic w' flash memory as a send-off

 

[The Real Abed]

RoundHouse, huh?

Whenever my life gets me so down,
I know I can go down,
To where the music and the fun never ends.
As long as that music keeps playing,
You know what I'm saying,
I know that I can find a friend,
Down at the Roundhouse

Reprise the theme song and roll the credits. We're done.

 

[Renzoku]

It's pretty obvious that the Watch is just the Apple Slave Collar.

They had to disguise at something since Apple Slave Collar would have been a slightly harder sell.

 

[TheBanditKing]

While I definitely think the watch will be the best smart watch on the market and one of the first fully fleshed out pieces of wearable tech.....that $349 price is wallet shattering

 

[entremet]

I'm not sure if people are serious when they say it costs more than an iPhone? Are you guys serious?

They're ignoring the subsidies.

 

[mreddie]

So if you want everything, Phone and watch costs you around 400...nah.

 

[studyguy]

Does U2 require an iPhone 5 or higher too?

 

[JonCha]

New song incoming?
