Or its actually a genius product that we just haven't gotten to try out yet. Gotta keep an open mind. I thought the iPad was a stupid idea until l actually used one. 

According to one of my former physics teachers, laser technology was initially meat with great skepticism

The product just doesn't offer much. It feels more like a prototype to a final product.

 

I'm sure it'll improve greatly but don't feel like I really need one to make my life easier.

I'm actually quite surprised, from what I heard this was the Apple product that people have least cared about, and their stock hasn't exactly been going up either.

Their stock is a bizarre one, but at its current rate they'll get to a trillion dollars by the end of the year. which is hilarious. Some firms project 200 a share, others around ~170. 

It is absolutely insane that a TECH company is beating out OIL companies. Apple is going to end up barking up Saudi Aramco's ass, and thats saying a lot.

They're already the most valuable company on earth, what's a little more going to do? ;)

 

I would be surprised if they hit $200, unless the new iPhone is crazy different. $170 makes a little more sense to me.

And if they did, no doubt people on the internet like you would waste your time to complain about it even though you're as far from the target audience as I am from Beijing.

 

Not complaining. Just making an exaggerating comment on their marketing. I don't hate Apple. I own an iPod classic because it's hands down the best portable music device.

There is still the iPod sock. 

 

Or the stupid keyboard they used to include. The one that showed the world your lint, chips and hair collection because it was see through. Oh, the one that also turned yellow after a moments notice. That was pretty damn bad too.

I am really sorry for the dumb people that will blindly go and buy it just because it's Apple. This is a smartphone on your wrist, not a watch. Battery life is poor and so is the general usability. How shallow do you have to be to buy and show it off saying it's the best and nothings compares to it. Fuck Apple, fuck the Apple Smartwatch. This really gets my blood to a boiling point- the utter stupidity of mankind.

Apple sheep will buy apple products .

SHOCKING RIGHT?

Who figured that a company that resembles more a cult than anything now will make customers buy everything they sell.

Apple could make a gold turd with the apple logo that functions as a watch and it would sell.

Everything they do , no matter how crap it is it sells.

They made a computer that looked like a trash can and it sold lol.

Last year 6.8Million smart watches where sold, and that was when they were practically new tech and only marketed to the general population later in the year.  Most of those sales would have been tech enthusiasts and geeks.  Apple who have always made tech popular to the general population come along and some people are surprised that sales boom?  People seem to have forgotten what happened to the smart phone market after the first iphone release and sales campaign.

You didn't. I just can't see a person like you buying one? Just why?

 

A person like me? a tech enthusiast, its a new gadget to play with, and I like Apple gadgets

A worthless gadget to me- but still  a gadget. I'm a tech enthusiast too but Apple just doesn't speak to me in terms of "ground breaking tech".

Does it have to be ground breaking? I like the design I think it looks cool the interface seems really neat, it will work with my  iPhone 6 and iPad... so it suits me perfectly fine

 

Just because a product does not suit you, does not mean you can go around telling everyone who buys it is an idiot

It's a stupid product to me- that's my opinion.

That's fair enough, I just get sick of people dictating how people should spend their money...and I am buying it.. because it is Apple.. I like their stuff.. I barely even have  a use for one, I just want one because I think its cool

 

not ashamed to admit that

Weird how people go all up and arms about others buying multiple Apple products. Do you do the same thing when buying clothes? "how dare you go to the same store to buy your clothes when this other brand clearly has a different weave which enhances comfort by 13% and reduces sweat while in the sun by 21%!!" "You guys are all sheeps for buying your favorite clothes when there are clearly better alternatives!!!"

Here is my question is what are the most common ways the watch it going to be used and does that justify the cost.

I think this will be like the first gen iPhone, neat product limited almost gimmicky uses.

People of this so-called tech forum hating and hating on this product and the people who buy them, my goodness. It's like the words "target audience" just passed by you. You all call people "stupid" for spending hundreds of dollars on a smartwatch when you know nothing about them other than they purchased a fancy watch; it's their right to buy whatever they f*cking want.

 

What if I called you all idiotic for spending hundreds of dollars, even thousands on the latest GPU or CPU or obscene amounts of money for a keyboard that lit up in RGB just because such products didn't appeal to me, huh? This hatred on mainstream product culture, especially Apple is really freaking toxic.
