How is this requiring an iPhone a big deal? Ya'll act like Samsung smart watches will work with iPhones and Windows phones.

You act like the new one isnt stand alone

 

[CountBlack]

This is something i'd expect out of Nintendo smh

 

[The Elite]

Apple reinvents morse code.

I always thought morse code was lacking.

I'm glad Apple tackled the problem.

I mean seriously, it's the 21st century.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Feeling some one else's heartbeat? A bit creepy, no?

 

[kaskade]

Really curious about the price. I have a feeling this isn't going to be cheap.

 

[General_Frags]

Did I miss the UK price on the iPhone 6?

only US pricing.

 

[CastleBravo]

Stock is going up, Cook's laughing all the way to the bank tonight.

It has been dropping since the announcement of the watch.

 

[Krev]

That statement can apply to dang near anything to do with this new class of smart watches.

I can see the convenience of maps on your wrist. When you're walking somewhere you don't want to walk around holding a phone. I like the tap communication too. But certain functions they're showing off are just really impractical on a watch, no matter how great the UI.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I do like the "taptic" feedback and live draw messaging. That's good stuff.

 

[Seth C]

So, the watch pulls all of its data from iPhone's bluetooth?

It just seems so pointless. Pull your phone out of your pocket and do everything the watch can do...

If I kept Bluetooth on I'd have to charge my phone about 4 times a day. It's useless.

 

[silentQ]

This watch is the kinda of uninspired thing that gets made when the founder and innovator isn't around anymore. This watch literally has no reason to exist when they have a product that does every single thing this one does better and is most likely cheaper.

 

[Arozay]

Jeff is his dog, and he wants peanut butter.

 

[Bricky]

Funny how they went through years of perfectioning touchscreen gestures and responsivity, revolutionizing the smartphone industry, only to go back to analogue scrolling for their flagship device in 2014 and acting like it is something special.

 

[ZeroX03]

So many drawn dick messages will be sent to watches.

 

[Divvy]

i'm 30 and why is this a feature for adults? Drawing stuff and sending tapping?

Well presumably Apple hopes teens and kids will want these watches too.

 

[Einbroch]

Is Apple sponsored by Whole Foods? This is the second or third time in this presentation they used them as an example.

The Venn diagram (for the people in the audience) is almost a perfect circle between WF and Apple.

 

[see5harp]

Not sure if serious....

Young people and gamers infuriate me. How does someone not know who John Candy is?

 

[Dartastic]

Interface looks good, design looks very meh. :/

 

[jmdajr]

I find very uncomfortable relying that much on a watch, I would only use it for a few tasks, and maybe only sports related, but for the shopping list? no, thank you

Fit band type thing would be more my interest. This is whole other level.

Wonder what MS is gonna do.

 

[fantomena]

The photo app is giving me a headache,

 

[JABEE]

Morse code back in vogue

 

[Oxirane]

PIctoChat is back

 

[BarrenMind]

finally, was wondering about third party apps

 

[wetflame]

The Venn diagram (for the people in the audience) is almost a perfect circle between WF and Apple.

Plus whole foods is a partner for Apple Pay.

 

[GeordieMark]

I hope they make a grandfather clock next. That'd be really cool

 

[Wellscha]

Drug dealers would love this feature.

 

[bedlamite]

That UI just reminds me of all those tryptophobia pics

don't google it, just...don't

 

[Shouta]

All I see from that interface is the PS Vita...damn bubbles.

 

[Nakazato]

So many drawn dick messages will be sent to watches.

I just said the same to my gf

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I raise you with this

This is currently my most likely watch.

I just don't like the way the numbers round the dial look make it look cheap.

The biggest plus is it works with any 2.5mm strap. That goes a long way to improve its looks.

 

[DedValve]

Feeling some one else's heartbeat? A bit creepy, no?

M-my heart is just beating fast because I was running! And my watch sensor is broken! I don't like you baka!

 

[BowieZ]

Moto 360 for me..

Dude any watch would look good on that guy's arm next to the scotch...

 

[freshair]

Even though I like the design of the 360 better, I'm really impressed with the hardware of the iWatch and the software.

Just so much more refined than Android Wear. Let's hope the 2.0 update adds more features

 

[corn_fest]

This is some of the ugliest, dumbest shit I've ever seen.

 

[Moff]

I am geniunly suprised.
I think its the first time apple is among the worst of its competitors designwise

 

[The Elite]

Can't wait for someone to get Linux running on it.

And Doom.

 

[Gandie]

What if you are busy?

It's just ridiculous to fall back on pre-agreed gestures and "rhythms"

 

[rekameohs]

Can you just plug earplugs on the watch to listen to music?

Omg that would just look ridiculous.

 

[Two Words]

The active ideas? I'm not sure. The passive ones are very useful though.

Taking out your phone isn't really a chore. The experience sounds lousy on a tiny screen.

 

[victreeb3l]

Damnit Jeff

 

[The Real Abed]

All right. Enough about the watch. Let's get to the U2 concert now, please! /s

 

[Squalor]

Sending a heartbeat seems to weird, haha.

 

[CambriaRising]

inb4 $400

 

[Kysen]

So many drawn dick messages will be sent to watches.

Is it bad that this was the first thing I thought of?

 

[quickfire13]

The only good part I see about this watch is that people wont have to hand their phones to people to show pictures...so upset that this isn't appealing to me.

 

[Victory Red]

The watch is getting less impressive the more I watch.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I want to like it, but god the UI is so ugly.

 

[Dicer]

inb4 $400

$399

 

[mreddie]

Ohhhh, Watch open things for you. The NFC future!

 

[see5harp]

You act like the new one isnt stand alone

And who would be buying one of these standalone? What would be the point?
