Unless you're ambidextrous, get used to wearing your watch on your left wrist!
isn't that where most people wear their watch?

Apple really needs to give us some more info on the watch so that this thread can be about something other than the absurdity of modern consumerism.
I spotted an Apple Watch on the train this morning, and now Im a believer
The man to whom I gave a gentle push so that I might fit inside the crowded commuter train this morning was wearing an Apple Watch.
As the train stopped in a tunnel, the man apparently received a reminder on his wrist, and when he raised his wrist I got a clear view. No, it wasnt one of the knockoffs they were selling at CES. This thing looked like a luxury item, and it had the now familiar bubbles Watch user interface.
I saw a text reminder on the screen, and then, briefly, a map. It appeared that the guy had been using the Watch for some time and was pretty used to it. The product is supposed to go on sale in April, but Apple gave Watches to a number of its employees to gather feedback and fix bugs.
On this guy, at least, the Watch looked proportionate to his wrist. The polished metal watch band looked very traditional, and, it seemed to me, made the Watch itself seem less out of the ordinary. Its very much within the wristwatch paradigm, and doesnt scream for attention.
One thing that disturbed me slightly about the device?
Like other blockbuster Apple products, when you see it, something somewhere in the corner of your mind clicks on, and then you realize:
You want one.
. . .
If all I wanted was a notification center, I'd be content with my Pebble, and wouldn't be following this product.What info is really left for them to share with us? We already know its going to be an expensive notification center with limited battery life.
Android, WIndows and Samsung user myself. What you say about not buying crap tech for long term use makes sense to most financially minded people, and each piece of kit I've bought from each provider has lasted me a long-ass time, it really does help to do your research, and I agree 100%.
But there's still that huge subset of people that seem to eat up the whole marketing spiel that large tech manufacturers feed to people about having the newest slightly improved version of a product, regardless of how up-to-date and high quality their current version is. And that slice seems large enough to fuel the want for companies to keep releasing these short-term incremental upgrades. It baffles me, and even some of my close friends purchase each version constantly then complain about owing money to credit companies, or not being able to pay bills and stuff when they keep purchasing these things outside of their means for upwards of a few hundred quid each time.
Glad to see you're going to be using your phone for a long time to come. Kudos!

I still think Apple needs to lay out how the Apple Watch will get upgraded from one generation to the next if they want anyone to buy the steel or gold ones.
isn't that what most people already do?
News to me. I always wear it on my right. Whoops!
Or should I say used to wear it... until smartphones came out!
*hugs my Pebble*
I would have at least thought it was cool if it was like this.

If you wore this "watch" you're gonna navigate it with the non dominant hand?
Does anything like this exist? And if no, why?
This little piece at Venture Beat got the juices flowin' today . . .

Huh? It's like comparing a pager to a phone- one just displays a notification of who called, whereas the other one also lets you communicate back.But it doesn't really do much more than that.
No iPad Pro? Either way I'm excited
You'd think the Apple Watch would get its own event.
Not even the iPhone got its own event.
That would be quite the event if they announced a 12" MacBook Air and a 12" iPad.
What did they announce with the iPhone? I watched the original iPhone announcement recently and I don't remember them talking about anything else.

Tim Cook says the watch doesn't release till April, odd they'd talk about it again more then a month out

Yeah this design is great.
If Apple hadn't decided to push the watch as a fashion item maybe they would have gone this route.
Honestly I think that looks *more* like a fashion item, which makes me like it more.

Id put serious money down on upgrading working just like buying a watch or an iPhone.
you buy a new one.
people online will gnash their teeth about spending, say, 4k on a gold watch with innards that are upgraded in a year. people with the money to buy the gold watch wont give a shit.
no upgrading for the Watch.
Anyway, seems like Feb is a no go. March seems to make more sense. (Although, personally, Im more interested in the new Air and if it really ships with just one combined USB C port.)
I'm trying to look at those screenshots but honestly all I see is the low battery icon (I believe there was a xkcd comic about this too).http://iphone.appleinsider.com/arti...-will-connect-your-apple-watch-to-your-iphone
An in-depth look at the Apple Watch companion app from Apple Insider.
I'm a bit surprised this doesn't go into security options like what happens if your watch gets stolen. I'm assuming especially at the beginning that will be an issue - there's one screen here that shows an option to erase the watch but of course it cuts off what the setting is.
Not Gonna happen.so, my Nike Fuelband just died ...
i sure hope the appleWatch is gonna be released prior to may 3rd, so i can properly field test it during an actual running event
