What demand? I haven't herd of anyone wanting to buy one let alone a gold one. Also 2 ounces of gold per watch?... come on I really doubt that.

 

Don't they have to make a watch that works well first? And has a battery life of more than a day?

How about you wait until it's launched to jump to conclusions about how it will actually perform?

K, thanks.

But thats how the old one worked, isn't it?

 

How about you keep it about the watch and not make it about other people?

 

K, you're welcome.

Considering the Watch as the power of the iphone 4s, I won't be surprised  if the battery life is terrible. 

Sound: Custom one pros, Audioengine A5+ with S8 sub.

That British tech show had it and did a review about it last year...the one with Amy Williams, olympic skeleton-er, and the spiky, grey-haired guy. They said they couldn't keep it charged for more than 6 hours, and the transitions were really juttery.

 

This was back when it was called the "iwatch." I think now they're going with "apple watch."

This? Although i'm assuming that you're talking about smartwatches.

 

That looks like it. But how smart is it really, if its just an extension of you phone and tells time? I have something that does that in my pocket, my iphone.

 

 

BTW, next item to be faked in china and sold for 300 US, containing nuts and bolts for weight to make it feel real? the apple watch.

 

Edit: used "phone" where it says "watch" because my phone range while typing...lol

The apple watch actually does stuff...it's not like a pebble, which is just notifications.

the Apple-Hatred is strong with this one.

No, no. I like apple. You can't pay me to use android...well, it would take more money than most people have...if you could get bill gates to support the financing required...then I would consider using android. I just don't see the point of the watch. But then, I also dont understand the nature of the "consumerist culture" we have in more developed countries, either...this culture of needing things just for the sake of having them.

 

Example: 60% of the people who buy the watch will wear it just as a watch and not actually use the functionality of it.
