Can someone please explain this
Ok. Call me a dunce. What is the point of a watch that supposedly does fancy things but will do nothing unless you are carrying around an iPhone to which it must be tethered????? All the fancy things are on the phone. The watch is just a limited supplemental display device. What's wrong with just using the phone, which after all is doing all the work? Call me dumb, but I think the whole concept is daft.
Apple Watch
Who is going to buy one? What do we feel about the design, size, straps, features?
It's better than I thought it would be...

I have and iphone, ipod, ipad

Very Interesting...
My Right Wrist in Free and sometimes while driving or multi-tasking, dealing with a clunky smartphone is just a pain, would be easier with a wrist based device. S
I find it interesting that the time is displayed with ...
... a sweeping analogue second hand when so many today are used to the jumping quartz displays. I like the fact that there are two sizes, the quick change straps system seems very well designed and the range of straps and bracelets and the magnetic buckli...
Thank you Andrew, what you wrote ......
Echoed my thoughts . I spent a lot of time reading and looking at the pictures on the Apple website. A lot of features like the display , the use of DLC , Milanese mesh strap and the different bands and clasps shows a lot of thought and design work being ...
Interesting article in todays NZZ, 3 features first introduced around 15 years ago...
by Swiss brands: 1) Bracelet from the Ikepod watch from the 1990's 2) Press & turn button for menu navigation etc. from the brand Ventura 2003 3) Touch screen first introduced on a watch by Tissot 15 years ago. Don
So, so - ephemeral, time bound, fashion accessory with multiple roles to fulfil
I'm not particularly impressed by the design, although the materials and execution look nice, as in well made, well put together. It looks dated from the outset. A square screen with rounded edges. The quick disconnect straps enable the fashion accessory ...
Excellent !!
Just when I was thinking about quitting this place for good, you show up with great comments down to the very point. Please carry on ! amerix .
