Have they revealed the price? Either way I'm probably going to stick with my Pebble now.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Still seems like a waste of money. It's basically android wear, but with a different style

 

Edit: By that i mean feature wise

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

While I believe we're discussing here, here's what I have to say.

 

It's nifty, well put together and aimed at the right market. However, I still don't like it. It's square/rectangular, looks more like tech than a watch and it is just not what I want in a device. However, I think they're doing a better job than a lot of companies out there.

It starts at $349 for the aluminum model and tops out at $10,000 for the 18K gold model I believe.

Hm, $350 might sound reasonable (although I'll take a good look at the specs), but 10k, holy crap.

It's ugly, overpriced, has unnecessary features (photo app?) and only works on iOS products, which makes it useless for me.

Who wants to look at a photo on a 1" screen? Who is going to use the haptive feedback messaging app after a few days? it's just like that gimmick siri, at least cortana is helpful on windows phone. And really, apple? They love to say they are "innovative" and "refined" and then they dump a square screen on a smartwatch. This ain't 2013 apple, wake up and realise it's round that people want, at least be modern and not use 2 year old designs.
