Apple/i Watch reveal! what do you guys think?

[magicpimp]

Just watch the iPhone 6/6 plus and apple watch presentations. Some cool stuff, gyro camera that can shoot 120 frames a second etc.

 

The iWatch or apple watch. Looks smooth and futuristic, with some old school touches. They knew a 'crown' was one of the most important parts of a watch and used it.

Hey that apple watch was real nice. They actually made one in 18k solid gold. That's nuts.

[Nanuq]

Crown guards look a little off and don't even get me started about that rehaut!

It's really ugly and has no purpose. I can't get over just how ugly and useless it is. Shame on you Apple! The only part of it that caught my attention was the face they used in the first part of the presentation was basically a rip off of an audemars dial/hand combo... Not cool

[kcawsey]

They are absolutely cool, have to get one and junk all my reps. Love the butterfly with a digital time, always wanted that, nice

How can we live without one? not. only when hell freezes over.

4get the Iwatch i have a dozen GENS of various Brands , as for the 2 iphones ill be getting both of them.  6 and 6Plus.  about time they made a bigger screened iphone.

Its exactly what other manufactureres make but with apple log on it. will fail for the same reason others are. Who wants a watch you have to have a matching phone to use, and that you have to charge every night, that tells you what your phone does, and you look like a douchbag wearing it.

I'm a young guy who is definitely into technology but I have never seen the appeal of a smart watch. A nice watch on the wrist that doesn't make me look like a geek is great and all of the things this watch can do is already in my pocket.

Two topics on this subject (http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/172897-i-dont-think-rolexomegaap-have-anything-to-worry-about/)
 
But like droptopman said: "I do like some high tech stuff but not in a watch."

[pcardoza]

Very cool, but not for me...........

[Ezio]

Im not buying Call me old School

[droptopman]

No thanks, I will probably upgrade my phone though....or I can wait for Rolex to make a phone. Oh wait they make watches..... that work without being connected to a phone.

Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

There is also the Moto 360 and the G-Watch R running android.

You are kidding, right?

Why would someone who drives a Porsche or Ferrari want a Prius or Leaf?

[Bc1221]

i really dont see the point of these except for fitness features.

it basically does what the phone in your pocket does but on your wrist...

 

idk.. i think its silly but curiosity will have me visit a apple store soon im sure.

 

if it was a $100 or $200, maybe id get one just to play around with but. almost $400 ($600 for a gold plated one), ill pass.

if i had to have a smartwatch, id prob be more interested in the mechanical/smart hybrid kairos is working on. 

thats a pretty good looking mechanical watch with a touch screen.

It's just one more thing to take our attention off the road or whatever else we should be doing. Our smart phones do it all, a Nike band or shoes can do the fitness stuff so there is very little point of this gadget. It's one more thing you have to charge at the end of the day (or mid day maybe.. yuk)

[jcrystal23]

I like it.... Does it work with my Galaxy S5?

[fraggle42]

I do like the looks of the Galaxy round watch, and this apple watch looks OK.

 

But every time I consider should I get one, I remember that they are NOT smart watches, they're dumb watches with a lovely screen that can't do much without a phone to connect too.

 

I think ALL manufacturers of these have missed the boat big time. I want a smart watch that syncs the alarms, calendar, phone book, diary, a few hundred songs, with a battery that lasts a few days at least, so I can use it usefully without it having to be in contact with the phone all the time.

 

I don't want the watch to tell me I've got a call / text, I don't particularily want it to have a mobile data connection, just bluetooth so it can stream stereo audio to my headphones whilst I have my lunchtime walk. The rest, it can remind me of appointments (as it's synched the calendar the previous evening), alarms, yes, it's a phone book that I can look up numbers on to dial them on the office phone. Fitness things would be good too.

 

And a watch, a damned good watch, accurate to very accurate. Calendar for the next 1000 years. Multiple alarms. Sleep audio music player. Stopwatch. Kitchen timer. Haptic feedback and also vibration for alarms and diary entries.
