So this watch seems to be giving solutions to problems that simply don't exist. hmmm

Steve Jobs could sell that type of product; not sure Tim Cook can.

nah my girlfriend is doing that from her apple watch at work

Cock rings will truly be the next revolution in wearables.

 

[Fliesen]

So this watch seems to be giving solutions to problems that simply don't exist. hmmm

they HAVE to show random shit like that.

Jobs spent 20 minutes navigating the iPod app when presenting the original iPhone. There's no apps, no real-world usecases that have developed over months of end user experience.

They have to try to sell you on the watch somehow

 

[Namikaze]

I like what they've shown of the watch so far but I'm concerned that I'll start convulsing when I see the price.

 

[Corgi]

i love how everytime the camera cuts back to the crowd there is at least 2-3 guys that are clapping but have the most 'eeehhhh' looking face going on.

 

[DrFunk]

..why wouldn't you just do all of this on your phone?

live feed of garage door... smh

Poor guy booking a hotel in Times Square

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Pretty much. Makes a few things ever so slightly more convenient.

Same thing Android Wear, Android and iOS all did.

 

[betterhalf]

Watch out dad, maddy brought her BF home

 

[WarMacheen]

Damn, his house is set at 85 degrees

 

[Toki767]

How long until drivers start getting fined for looking at their watches while driving?

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

LOL someone photoshop that and put the one scary bitch from P.T. in there.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

This is boring.

No paradigm shift here, you can save a few steps by stealing someones' keys. Or better yet, a rock.

 

[Einbroch]

Break windows, walk in.

Yeah but that's not cool.

Most of those features would presumably be disabled if it breaks contact with the user's skin, like they've announced for Apple Pay.

 

[flyover]

Wonder if Disney is working with Apple to allow Apple Watch to be used instead of MagicBands.

#AppleWatch can unlock your front door. Great! Now if someone steals your watch they also can rob your home! gu.com/p/46en8/stw

There's some authentication thing going on. It detects it left the owner's wrist.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

I don't think that's a great analogy. Unless you are a US Senator you need a cell phone. No one needs a $1,000 watch. It'll be for uber rich people and tech nerds like us.

I don't think they'll succeed like phones, but the analogy is good to me.

 

[samn]

Oh great, so everyone's getting this Apple Watch app even if you don't have an Apple Watch.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

so this just happened

I'm assuming it will have iCloud's security features that let's you lock it if it connects to any wireless connection.

 

[3phemeral]

Waiting for a gif of that garage door opening only to find it's a burglar dragging someone inside.

 

[Majine]

oo, iOS 8.2 today.

 

[DrFunk]

18 hours? riiiight

 

[Maninthemirror]

18 hour battery life . WOW

1a. Find out where watch owner lives?

Wonder what kind of info can be accessed from the watch if it's not connected to the phone, or if there's any sort of lock functionality if it is.

 

[Deku Tree]

8.2 today?

 

[Namikaze]

Not even a 60fps garage feed? Poor mans Cerny

Nah, It's okay, even remote play is only 30FPS.

 

[LyleLanley]

I thought all day was 9 hours.

 

[silentQ]

Apple Watch App? Great now I have to put another useless undeletable app in in my Apple useless app folder.

 

[Timbuktu]

There's some authentication thing going on. It detects it left the owner's wrist.

So you might get your arm chopped off.

 

[freenudemacusers]

18 hours? ehh I know this was all but confirmed but gimme more brehs.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I don't think that's a great analogy. Unless you are a US Senator you need a cell phone. No one needs a $1,000 watch. It'll be for uber rich people and tech nerds like us.

No one needed $800 smartphones with $30-40 data plans but look where we are now.

 

[hwalker84]

18 hour battery life... Why does that get claps?

 

[juicyfruitas]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[ReAxion]

How many people can complain that it only works with iPhones complain from the other side of their mouth that your house can get broken into in the next 24 hours. Go.

 

[Einbroch]

18 hours is pathetic. I'm already annoyed by my Band having a 48 hour life.

 

[Radec]

lol, so even can't get a day without charging huh..

There's some authentication thing going on. It detects it left the owner's wrist.

Update:

1. Cut owner's wrist with Apple Watch
2. Unlock house door

[Ignatz Mouse]

Does anyone actually do this stuff?

I've used Siri for reminders a few times, but does anyone really check the weather forecast?

I use Google Now (aka "OK Google") to do this on my phone, and now on my smart watch. So, yes. Very handy, especially if you live in a place with variable weather.

I've been following this and really, it looks like the Apple Watch is more functional than I was expecting.

 

[kami_sama]

Hahahahaha 18 hours battery life!
Even the Android ones with less battery (Moto 360) have almost double that.
