Whatever, optimizing UX with sleek UI is what Apple was all about, and this just betrays it. Just pretentious.

 

[Avixph]

I'm going to make an app where you have a waifu on your arm. Armfu

Why are you ignoring me.

It's not like I like you or anything!

Your arm is the only arm I want to be on.

Do it.

 

[DopeyFish]

Its so sad the best smartwatch is still the damn pebble.

Android wear excels in design but absolutely faceplants itself in function and longevity

This watch is just ugly and cumbersome... the UI? Oh man. That BMW app with the locked text being bigger than the doors text? It made me cringe.

 

[Exile20]

So BMW will have an app so you can find your electric car.

Can we just do a quick show of hands to see who here has managed to lose their car?

Google have a parking app within Google now. Comes in handy.

 

[JacksUsername]

"Hey feel my blood flow"

"Wow, you're throbbing"

"yea"

"Please respond" should be in the recommended replies.

 

[Dalek]

Clap for hotel doors

After meals.

 

[insignia16]

yes they did.

Oh, my bad

 

[pigeon]

Wow, only works with iPhone 6.

That's actually really surprising to me. They're locking this in as an upgrade feature.

 

[ferr]

After seeing that the Apple Watch comes in multiple sizes, with multiple finishes, with who knows how many strap variations.. I think that's going to be the biggest deal that makes other wearables look like they're in the stone age.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Battery time and waterproofing is what i am really interested in (Plus, drain on a iphone).

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Wonder if this will have the same upgrade rate as the iPhone so Apple can sell them in pair every time a new one comes out. It's kinda ingenious.

 

[Antiwhippy]

[Palette Swap]

If you need an iPhone for the watch, then why use the watch if you have your iphone for stuff like twitter, fb, check in, photos? Seems redundant as hell.

I don't particularly get that part. I'm in the market for a fitness tracker and kind of thought/hoped Apple would blow what exists on that front and I'm not super convinced right now.

 

[flyover]

I would use this as my homescreen.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This guy...

 

[Squalor]

"Please respond" should be in the recommended replies.

Second choice "Please be excited."

The Apple watch isn't going to be more than $150 (hopefully) but at this point it's a first generation iteration, it'll probably get better (or worse) in a few years, but for right now it's nothing that's innovating technology.

 

[Gandie]

I don't want to take my phone with me when I'm running/biking.

 

[DJ88]

As always with a new apple product, the initial reactions will be gold to go back and read in 3 years when everyone and their mom is using one.

This same story repeats itself time and time again.

 

[The Elite]

The fitness stuff is honestly the only stuff that has me interested.

Otherwise, the rest of that stuff I can do with my phone.

 

[kiguel182]

What annoys me about this watch is just doing everything for you (train times, directions) and means people won't be thinking for themselves. I can perfectly find know when to get off.

What if you go to some place you have never been? It makes thinks easier.

Technology is all about making things easier so you can focus on other stuff. It's great.

He sounds like Marge's sisters.

[blackaroni]

This watch presentation has gone on way too long.

 

[SpyGuy239]

pretty cool I suppose. Gonna wait a generation or 2 when they slim down that watch and make the screen slightly bigger

 

[Dre3001]

I am confused by the iphone requirement for Apple Watch.


Do you have to carry an Iphone around to use the watch of could you leave your phone at home and just use the watch by itself?

 

[GeordieMark]

Google have a parking app within Google now. Comes in handy.

How the fuck does one misplace something as big as a car? Talk about careless.

 

[Two Words]

Can't wait to see app makers stuff ads on their Apple Watch interface.

 

[LJ11]

I don't particularly get that part. I'm in the market for a fitness tracker and kind of thought/hoped Apple would blow what exists on that front and I'm not super convinced right now.

Feel the same way.

 

[jmdajr]

How accurate is the heart reader

 

[DonDraper]

I kinda jumped into the thread and live stream a bit late. I keep seeing people here saying the 4.7 is gimped compared to the 5.5. Anyone mind giving me a brief summary as to how it is gimped? Thanks!

 

[Junior Mint]

Anyone who's judging this by its looks (and saying shit about how "Steve Jobs would never...") is totally missing the point.

Lol - a fashion accessory that shouldn't be judged by how it looks

 

[MThanded]

I lost my fitbit. This will definitely be used as a replacement.

 

[Divvy]

Uhmnmm... that seems awfully optimistic

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Ok this exercise stuff looks awesome.

 

[Veins]

ROFL the guy with the ropes.

 

[Wellscha]

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!

ROYALS 4 LYFE!!!

 

[Shun]

Isn't it recommended to at least have 1 hour of exercise a day?

 

[DECK'ARD]

Lower resolution and battery life, no optical image stabilisation on the camera.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Isn't it recommended to at least have 1 hour of exercise a day?

30 minutes minimum

 

[Alienous]

Now I want to stand up, dammit.

 

[entremet]

The fitness stuff makes this a must buy for me.

 

[Arozay]

Battery life and screen visibility?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Anyone who's judging this by its looks (and saying shit about how "Steve Jobs would never...") is totally missing the point.

Yes because no Apple product has ever been about looks...

 

[vctor182]

Second choice "Please be excited."

Third choice "Directly to you "

 

[Hasney]

I stand once an hour, woo my health!

Granted, it's for a smoke break, but still.

 

[kiguel182]

I would be totally all over smartwatches if they weren't so expensive. I love the concept but not enough to throw 300 bucks at it.

Still, when they are cheap enough they are going to be great.

 

[JonCha]

What if you go to some place you have never been? It makes thinks easier.

Technology is all about making things easier so you can focus on other stuff. It's great.

Then I'd figure it out? I go on holiday and get a train in somewhere I've never been before and prefer to figure it out myself. I don't know have to rely a watch to tell me when the train time is.

 

[Jb]

That chick is real cute. Damn.
