It hasn´t started yet ... i think.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Maybe on the bright side traditional luxury watch manufacturers will feel the heat and I can get that Omega I want for cheaper.

lol nah.

[Deleted member 22576]

Just got some coffee. Feeling slightly hungover.
listening to some warmup jams

Excited this coincided with my day off.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Is anyone else curious what the inevitable third-party Apple Watch bands will look like and cost?

YBCA is Yerba Beunos Center for the Arts. Maybe he wants to change the A to Apple? I don't know.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Stream is up.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Stream is live.

 

[Majine]

Phil Schiller called TDK "The Black Knight", let's give this crazy old uncle a break.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Stream is live.

Lol

 

[LyleLanley]

Final prediction: I think the prices will be cheaper than what Gruber predicted and he was just a plant to make the Watch look like a deal.

 

[Majine]

My wrist is ready.

 

[Cavalier]

My wallet is ready.

You don't want a bigger tv?

 

[Betta Lines]

Great stream quality.

 

[jts]

>immediate streaming

>song from FIFA 15 playing

 

[kiguel182]

So, will the stream be really bad like last time?

5 minutes to find out!

 

[LyleLanley]

So, will the stream be really bad like last time?

5 minutes to find out!

Psst, the stream's already up.

 

[Hasney]

Great stream quality.

For now. It was last time until it got hammered. Hopefully they learned lessons from the last stream!

 

[thenexus6]

I am watching now, I have absolutely zero interest in this watch but hey, I enjoy Apple conferences.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

some really smooth camera work goin on right now

 

[3N16MA]

Apple sold millions, made billions, cue ad, pie chart, joke or two.


Now get to the good stuff.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Final prediction: I think the prices will be cheaper than what Gruber predicted and he was just a plant to make the Watch look like a deal.

No way Gruber has any inside info on what the watches are priced at. He's speculating like everyone else, although I buy a lot of his underlying assumptions as valid.

 

[cjp]

What's this song? It always plays on an advert on TV but I've never bothered looking it up.

Edit: the one before Disclosure.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Trent Reznor spotting?

 

[Betta Lines]

For now. It was last time until it got hammered. Hopefully they learned lessons from the last stream!

True. At least no Chinese translation or TV truck schedule this time!

 

[Chris R]

Anyone know what lower bitrates Apple uses? The 1080p stream looks good but I don't need something that isn't so bandwidth intensive...

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Trent Reznor spotting?

if so maybe something beats related? he was/is part of that.

 

[nikos]

Been waiting a long time for this. My wrist is ready.

 

[iNvid02]

hope the stream doesnt fucking collapse like last time, seems nice and smooth so far

 

[piratethingy]

My wrist so ready

 

[oti]

Hoping for SCEE gamescom mega ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM
