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.

 

[AkuMifune]

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

 

[LanceVance]

That's one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen

Apple product?

Bunch of journos happy they would no longer have to write "when will Apple release smart watch" articles every 4 weeks

 

[Polk]

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

it's 42mm but there's smaller version as well.

 

[kudoboi]

the music player looks horrible. and it is one of the reasons why i want a smartwatch. they don't even have album art

 

[Trojita]

Switzerland legit shook



at how ugly this thing is.

 

[TheExecutive]

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.

So we are back to Apple TV (not STB)?

 

[sonto340]

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.

 

[Rad-]

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.

 

[JMDSO]

Over/under on how many of these get swiped right off someone's wrist or ruined by weather?

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Eh, was hoping for a teleporter...

For real. I expected something that looked really good, but seemed pointless. Instead it is both ugly and pointless.

It can be complimentary but it could be much more.

Internet High Five.

 

[DrFunk]

why is it doing so much

 

[unrenowned]

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.

 

[pixlexic]

why is it doing so much

because taking your phone out of your pocket takes time.
Time that you can track on your Iwatch.

 

[lenovox1]

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.

 

[Mupod]

when I was a kid in the 80s, it's more or less what I'd imagined people from 2014 would be wearing

 

[Taco_Human]

How much is it?

 

[Brianimaniac]

Over/under on how many of these get swiped right off someone's wrist or ruined by weather?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use over/under properly on the internet.

 

[H3xum]

Hahahahahahaha the standing O

Oh, you guys.

 

[kudoboi]

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

 

[Bluemercury]

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.

lolol

 

[Wendel Clark]

This is what the iPhone looks like next to my note

 

[Kinitari]

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.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

An iPhone is required?

 

[EmiPrime]

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

 

[tanooki27]

better get used to the "ugly," yer gonna see it everywhere

 

[jett]

Fiercely ugly.

Apple missed the point of watches being men's jewelry.

 

[Renzoku]

GUI and aesthetic design of the hardware look medicore IMO.

 

[Harlock]

This looks ugly like hell. Google wins.

 

[Vanillalite]

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.

 

[I Stalk Alone]

For those times when you don't want to pull a 6 inch phone out of your pocket.

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.

 

[Dany]

hmm. its losing me

 

[Nokterian]

I'd rather just buy a nice normal watch.

And i have a nice normal watch the same one for 8 years now and it cost me 50 euro's. I guess this will cost at least 400 euro's since it's Apple.

 

[soultron]

Nobody is winning with smartwatches yet. So ugly.

The crown mixed with touch seems awful too.

 

[CryptiK]

lol looks fucking disgusting.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Why the fuck would I pick this over the delicious Moto watch with a round watch face?

This looks like a kid's toy.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Yikes. That is not a product that would have been released under steve jobs

 

[PSGames]

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

 

[Renzoku]

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.

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

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

 

[JMDSO]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use over/under properly on the internet.

Sorry for disappointing you.

I will try harder next time.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

After the Switzerland report that is certainly underwhelming

 

[Glasshole]

Yah dat shit be ugly as fuck.


lol at people trying to save face / trying to convince people it looks good.

Real bomzaldroppenton.

 

[R1CHO]

Switzerland legit shook



at how ugly this thing is.

When he said that crap, I was expecting an amazing design that would put to shame other smartwatches, then they show this thing.
