WTF, I just bought a Moto 360 yesterday and they come out with something new? This is such bullshit.

+1

Dare I say this watch looks like something Samsung would put together?

 

[threetri333]

How's the battery?

 

[kudoboi]

EXTREMELY disappointed

I was hoping apple's smartwatch would have a watch that looks as good as the moto 360

it just looks so bland... everything.. from the UI to the overall outer design

this is moto 360 for comparison

 

[wenis]

can i display pornography on it?

 

[Guevara]

I don't get it, so it will probably be a huge seller.

 

[vagabondarts]

I don't get it. I guess I can expect everyone to be wearing these soon though. Apple could make a refrigerator with an iPad in it and tech journalists would hail it as this transformational device.

 

[Darkangel]

Anyone remember this?

 

[Bboy AJ]

The hardware doesn't look surprising but the interface blows Android Wear out of the water. Apple Watch's interface was clearly thought out very carefully and not half assed.

 

[diamount]

What is the point of this? I'm being serious here can someone explain why anyone would want one?

Fashion piece, brah.

 

[Blood Red Sky]

Ew. WTF Jony Ive?

 

[magnetic]

The very concept of a smartwatch just dies for me at the point of being too tiny to actually use it for anything that couldn´t be done more efficiently on your phone.

I´ve been wrong before with my own judgement - for instance, I really love tablets, first my iPad Mini and now my Nexus 7, while I initially thought that the iPad would be a massive flop - but I just don´t think a watch like that can be revolutionary if you phone is just a couple of seconds away anyway.

 

[Arkos]

Square face lol. Ok.gif

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Dissaapoointtteeeeeed.

Actually I'm not allowed to wear smart connected devices at work ... especially when they have internet access ... cameras ... microphones ... hell even been electronic is bad ... and it's made of metal?

I will wait for iteration 5000x when I change career path.

 

[pants]

can i display pornography on it?

sure, wenis

 

[Santiako]

I honestly can't think of any use for a smart watch. But then again, I didn't see the point of tablets when they started coming out so what the fuck do I know lol

 

[C.Dark.DN]

It needs to be round to really take off.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Why does the watch have to be round? I don't understand why anyone who doesn't want an analog timepiece demands this.

 

[Vanillalite]

Look if your over 30 in a professional setting save up some cash and get a nice watch that looks classy, works with your look, and can last you your whole life if you take care of it vs trying to jump on the Casio smartwatch bandwagon.

 

[PSGames]

I think the watch will grow on you guys. Looks great to me especially with the metal bands. And the interface is on another level.

The hardware doesn't look surprising but the interface blows Android Wear out of the water. Apple Watch's interface was clearly thought out very carefully and not half assed.

Exactly.

 

[rekameohs]

I understand the potential of smart watches, but the hardware just looks so bad here, not fitting of Apple at all.

You must have security clearance at your job. A friend of mine has a job like that at a company with gigantic government contracts.

 

[Aesius]

I like the idea of a smartwatch.

I need something to capture my attention between checking my smartphone, tablet, television, and laptop.

The Moto 360 would be perfect... But the battery life is shocking due to the TI OMAP that they use. It's inefficient, plus the battery itself is tiny (300mah). Design wise? Beautiful.

 

[Ikuu]

I'd rather just buy a nice normal watch.

 

[Con_Smith]

Laughing as I see some people who shag on the square design justify this as good. Friend bet me Apple would shit on android and now he's hyped over this shit.

 

[magnetic]

So that you can fit less information on it, duh!

 

[Toparaman]

I think it's good that they didn't call it "iWatch".

Design wise, could be better, could be worse.

Functionality wise, the verdict is out until I see video.

As with the iPhone, I'll wait a few years before deciding to bite.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Well that's forgettable.

 

[Singaporn]

Hahaha it looks so ugly

 

[Symphonic]

Looks waaaay worse than imagined.

So much for that.

 

[AkuMifune]

I'm disappointed how safe Apple seems to be willing to play it right now. And an ugly design too.

Gross.

 

[sgjackson]

The biggest issue I have with the idea of smartwatches is I'm not sure why I want one. There's not really a huge difference between "getting phone out of pocket" and "turning wrist", especially when the phone provides a significantly better experience. I wouldn't mind being convinced otherwise, though.

 

[a916]

God those look ugly... Apple usually puts design/look pretty high on the list.

 

[Mortemis]

Damn not even apple can make a smart watch that looks good to me. No thanks to smart watches I guess.

 

[Jzero]

Looks as shitty as the G Watch and Gear Live yet people are excited as shit for it. WTF.
That bias.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

I don't think I've seen anyone with a watch since the 90's. I just don't get it.

 

[SliceSabre]

That is just about the ugliest watch I have ever seen in my life.

Like, that's one of those things you see that a person has and it is clearly for show and status and not for actual use.

 

[Soulscribe]

I want it but I also don't. Does that make sense?

 

[Maxim726X]

It looks almost exactly like the Sony Smartwatch... Though somehow I'm sure this will be lauded as the next great gadget of our time.

The Moto360 is a million times more aesthetically pleasing.

 

[Radec]

Apple announces Apple Watch (Requires an iPhone)

 

[EmiPrime]

I think it looks good (much better than the Android watches) but I am not convinced I need one.

 

[waypoetic]

Its not waterproof is it?

 

[Permanently A]

You need the iPhone for the watch? Lol

 

[pixlexic]

It looks too big. maybe everyone wearing it is just tiny?

It's not so much about the looks but the functionality compared to android wear watches.

 

[Dilly]

Switzerland is shaken to its foundations.

You tripping buddy.

 

[- J - D -]

This certainly looks like a first iteration would.

DIGITAL CROWN.
ZOOM WITH FINGERS!

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

What's with the standing ovation? The audience didn't know anything about the watch at that point.
