Anyone getting the new Apple Watch?

[ICEBERG]

Just wondering if anyone here will be getting the new apple watch? My wife realy wants one but for $520 I just don't know if it is worth it? And I noticed the SS band ones are like 1250 bucks. Anyways just wanted to see how many beyonders will be getting one?

Voted no but might change my mind if I get hands on with one. But still, probably not.

[shakalaka]

Nope, no interest in it.

It comes in a two case sizes: 38mm and 42mm. I'm assuming the 42mm is for $520

People still buy apple products?

Seriously though, I have no interest in another device being attached to me. What is the point of these watches?

[Thales of Miletus]

I won't buy one on moral grounds.

Hell no, stupid Idea IMO, watch this thing flop big time. This is apples fire phone

[taemo]

nope, i don't see the need.
if i'm carrying a smartphone already with me that can do almost anything already, why would i need another one with lesser functions.

[rage2]

Nope.

[ThePlaymaker]

Nah, never.

Waste of money.
LG just came out with a new watch that looks substantially better.

What is the point? Unless it's everything your phone is, including a phone, so you don't need to have your phone. Is it?

Being a 100% phone /smartphone watch could have uses, it would be awesome for camping /hiking /biking where it's there without having two things. But if it's just an accessory TO your phone, then a fool and their money.....




I'd likely judge someone for pointlessly having one of these worse than someone wearing pajama pants to the mall.

No desire to get one

Traditional will always win over tech when it comes to watches. Apples multimillion dollar marketing company should have known this going in.

while i do like the idea of smartwatches... apple's arrogance shines though at charging 2.5x the price of the average smartwatch.

As much as I think this watch is retarded, arrogance has nothing to do with it. Well, maybe for the 5 figure ones haha.

The Apple watch brings in a lot of materials and designs from traditional watch designs. That's what makes it cost more than its competitors.
