LOL! I dont think so.

The cheap one is the sports model. To even get one that doesn’t look like a kids toy, it will costs you 500+ dollars and then you still have that gay-looking poka-dot display that looks like some sorts of game for children.

And that’s assuming there even is a point to have one of these! Smartwatches are about as useless as it gets!

I can get if it costs 100-220 dollars that it would be maybe justifiable as a blow-off buy. But this is highway robbery.

It will not have a “gay-looking polka dot display” unless you want it to. You can make the face look like a standard analog watch, a digital display, a digital display of date and time with three buttons underneath...I even saw a display that looked like a Mickey Mouse watch.

There is little visual difference between the $350 version and the $10,000 version. Different materials and bands determine the price difference.

I never knew everything that I could do with an iPad until I owned one. I wanted one primarily as a reader and web access. I didn’t know just how indispensable it would become at work. The Watch strikes me as the same kind of thing. It will change the way we do things in ways we do not even know.

I strongly suspect that in a year we will laugh at your comments like we now laugh at the naysayers of the iPhone and iPad when they first came out.

I'm holding out for the bluetooth smartpen.
