What does it do?
Tells you the time.
Honda. Tesla Someday
Ok after seeing the live demo I wrote this:
Feeling overwhelmed with the Apple Watch. I love technology, I really do, technology is what I am about. Watching the Apple watch live demo - I can't express how seeing technology as incredible as this makes me feel. Some said that Apple was a dying brand after Steve Jobs, and I feared that too. However seeing the innovation that has gone in to this product alone, I will never doubt Apple again. This thing isnt just functional in more ways than I can list, its a thing of beauty. Technology coming to life in a way that only Apple can imagine - I feel so damn happy to see something like this coming to market. Whether you love gadgets, innovation and technology as much as me, or you don't care either way? I can't see anybody disputing that this is more impressive than 99 / if not 100% of what we have seen from anyone else. The things you can do, I couldnt have imagined. Love technology, you can't help but love Apple. Could go on forever but no words can express how impressed and blown away I am. This is simply "insanely great".
You can use Apple Pay with it, you can do pretty much anything. Honestly, this thing is incredible.

There need to be a few lukewarm iterations of these designs in order for the World to start adopting technology into modern living.
So whilst this Apple Watch may not be a great seller, the potential it can eventually unlock is huge. As Apple set the standard and make sure everyone else develops technology that's Apple-proof. A small wearable device as an extension of your phone is a great idea, it just needs to develop to the point where the two devices can talk, reliably, hundreds of miles apart. It'll be there soon enough.

The fact Apple maps is worse than cat s**t does not make it that exciting tbh.
The wireless charging is required to make a watch that needs charging daily acceptable anyway, is it even waterproof?

Yeah I still prefer Google Maps, but do prefer the layout of the Apple maps when navigating.
I like the watch feature than gives slight vibrations so you know to turn left or right without looking.

Definitely agree, just wish you could rely on it.
The fact it had Blackpool and Luton 5 minutes from Cornwall up until recently doesn't fill me with confidence.

Yer, but Chester is nice!! Haha
Some nice ideas that I would genuinely use. It will do the full fitness tracking thing without messing around with my phone, so useful for my cycling. Also the possibility of live view from my Sony a7 camera (my iPhone/iPad already has an App to livestream what my camera is doing, and then allows me to fully control it and take photos etc, so presumably no reason why this can't do it either). Will also control Apple TV, so probably 3 very distinct things I would use it for.
Would I buy one? Probably not, but as a concept that will no doubt develop into something far more interesting with various apps in future, it has potential.

It's interesting to look back at the iPad announcement thread here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...ent-27th-Jan-Apple-iPad/page11&highlight=ipad
Lots of people saying, 'I don't get it', 'What's the point' and 'I'll stick with my laptop thanks' etc....
I'm yet to be convinced i need one of these, but I expect in a few years we might be looking back in the same way.

Except that the iPad filled the needs of 95% of computer users, people failed to see that in the post back then. You'll find most people use their laptop/computer for email, facebook and surfing the web. The iPad fills those needs perfectly, it's lightweight, battery lasts ages - i.e it's a superior user experience.
This on the other hand, takes something that's sole purpose is for telling the time, adds crap to it and turns it from being something that you change the battery every 3 years to something you have to remember to charge otherwise it's a nice paperweight. (I suspect the joke will be that if you ask a Apple Watch user the time they'll have to pull their phone out of their pocket)
Plus you'll look like a grade A **** wearing one, 5 minutes of Jony Ive talking about the innovative pin should be enough reason to convince you of this!
I stopped wearing a watch a couple of years ago as all it did was tell the time and I had my phone for that.
This is the return of the watch, times have moved on, the ability to have lots of functionally on my wrist rather than having to get my phone out of my pocket is going to mean this is likely to be a winner for me.
And im a watch person, but I only wear them for special occasions now.

Is it not just a watered down version of the phone already in your pocket?!

On the one hand I really like this idea of this a lot, but tbh it just seems a lazy response to taking your phone out of your pocket. It may be useful whilst driving to quickly read a message or see who's calling but how long before it become an offence.
I see this product only useful if you wear it all the time, I however quite like my watches for their design so would rather stick with them.

I agree with Nik, a few years down the line I think it likely we'll all be looking back believing them to be the best thing ever.
I don't get the hate for the appearance; compared to some of the vulgar monstrosities in the watches thread they look quite elegant and refined. The Moto X for Google looks spot on IMO.
As for use...I regularly, as it 5-10 times a day, voice control Google now to get information on something. Being able to do this without needing to remove phone from pocket, unlock, speak, read, lock, replace in pocket...instead just speak and read is something, just like the instant convenience/gratification that comes from using a tablet, is a great thing that I think will become the norm.
Similarly, reading texts/emails, controlling audio, checking weather, all will be simply instant.

I've been using a pebble watch, and the notifications etc are genuinely useful. But I like watches, and all of the smart watches (including apples) do nothing for me. They look s**t. I'd rather wear a proper watch and look at my phone when needed.

Controlling atv
showing callers/texts at a glance
looking better than some watches at the moment
allowing third party apps
are all reasons I want one and that's not even the top of the iceberg yet.
Wait it until they're released and third party developers get hold of them.
