So today's the day. Whatever you think of iPhones, I think this thing will shake up the watch market. Interested or not?
Will it shake up the watch market?
I don't need to know instantly that a friend is going to the toilet or any other banal facts either, in any case, most of my friends don't feel the need to share every instant of their lives either.
I don't doubt it will have an impact, for some. For others, who don't need to share everything contemporaneously, no it wont....
I'm much more interested in finding out about its health monitoring aspects.
Really? I can get far more information, and reliably from my Doctor, that is far cheaper to. Of course when he tells me that I am dying not in fact suffering from Ebola, although the symptoms are similar in early stages to flu, he can also re assure me I am not suffering from a how host of other illnesses to. iwatch going to do that?
I have asked him what time it is when seeing him, so he can fore fill that function as well. But it is true he doesn't take messages for me.

I thought the health monitoring capabilities had been removed or reduced significantly?
Really pleased for you. While you're there get him to check out your overactive smugness gland.
I really cannot see the point in this at all, honestly of you seriously need a heart rate monitor or any health monitor far better to get one that is actually made for that purpose...honestly if anyone believes this will have an affect on the actually watch market they're seriously deluded....mainly as phones have already killed the watch market for those that wear them purely as a time piece, the watch market now is purely a style choice market for people that wear a watch because they like how it looks
People said the same about the iPod, and that is the product that turned Apple from a near bankrupt company to one of the most profitable in history.

I don't think they did at all...
See my other post. I was seconded to IBM at the time and I remember the derision it was received with by 'techies' very well. People thought it was miles behind the Creative offering of the time (Nomad I think).Did they?
When?

I thought that was arranging their tax affairs so they didn't pay any/much....
I'm constantly amazed how fast threads are wrecked on this forum lately.
A friend at work is eager for one so I am happy for him.
I wear an analogue watch so its not for me but the technology is funky.
I created this thread about the Apple Watch. How naive of me.
I'll be watching the announcement and are very interested in getting one.
I've been using my pebble a fair bit, but do notice the limitation in being an output device only. Besides the time/date it is great for getting directions when walking in unknown areas, or the latest update on tubes, or seeing that text message. All without having to whip out your phone in a situation where it may not be safe to do so, or weather conditions don't allow. I really like the complementary nature of such a device
However, for me battery life needs to be five days minimum. I wouldn't want to have to charge it every single day.
We will see later.
Charging - needs to be wireless charging really. Cable tethering on such a small device means bespoke connector or mini usb, I doubt it'll be lightning. If it was wireless then charging wouldn't be an issue. leave it on a pad/holder overnight, perhaps next to the bed so you can use it as an alarm.
I'm happy with my seiko though. Just jumped ship from Apple to Android
Well, they didn't have to bother before - they didn't earn much profit before the days of the iPod / iPhone!!
It would see the obvious choice, but won't that push the watch to be thicker, or is iphone thick ok for a watch. I put a lightning connector up against my normal watch and it looked large.What makes you think it won't be lightning? It seems fit for purpose - small durable and reasonably environmentally sealed.
