This looks like what you would get if you asked someone in the early 70's to design what they thought a computer watch would look like in the year 2000.

the music player looks horrible. and it is one of the reasons why i want a smartwatch. they don't even have album art
 
I see no point to this if I still have to take my phone with me everywhere I go. I like the concept but no GPS is a deal breaker for me.

This. What can a watch do that a phone can't? Why would I want this over a phone?
You don't. Thisnisnt a replace!ent for your phone. An iPhone is REQUIRED to use it. Its a supplementary device. The benefits of a smart watch are a quick Google search away, my friend.

Someone posted a pic of this in another topic. I thought it was a mock up. I searched for this topic to find a real pic... and that first pic was the real pic. Haha. Horrible design.
 
I think it looks good (much better than the Android watches) but I am not convinced I need one.
Do you honestly think it looks better than the Moto 360 or LG G Watch R?
Personally I find the design of this watch extremely disappointing, looks like 99% of smartwatches released before it.

It's a health band with a screen and a notifications device, a modern pager. Secondarily, it's a second, smaller screen for the smartphone. For those times when you don't want to pull a 6 inch phone out of your pocket.

imo they should have just followed IOS 7/8 design in terms of UI

the constant black just looks so bland compared to android wear

I've never been on the smart watch train, and android fanboy-ism aside, I was kind of hoping for something interesting from this watch. I am pretty disappointed so far, but who knows, there's probably more we haven't seen yet.

Also... please let's just use round faces.

I would have to see the Moto 360 with another wrist strap. It looks too masculine in the shots Motorola have released.

Save up, and go to a nice jewelry store. Buy say a Breitling. Look like your 35 not 10 and take care of it and wear for your life.

but instead wear a hideous watch to let everyone know that you have a six inch phone in your pocket anyway, but are too god damned lazy to fucking take it out like a normal person would just to look at the fucking time.

as long as it works as a normal watch when the battery runs out and i only have to charge it once a year then its great.

Why does a smart watch have to look like a regular watch when it does far more? Makes no sense to me.

My father gave me this iWatch, son. He carried it with him in the Ukrainian Interventionist War in 2015.

It only has iOS 8 on it, but it meant the world to him. You can even see his archived tweets.

Oh, it can't be useful and aesthetically pleasing at the same time? I thought that was Apple's entire modus operandi.
