Apple has a winner! In just ONE WEEKEND Apple sold more units than ALL OTHER manufacturers combined -- for the entire year, in 2014!

And NOW ... Apple has doubled their first weekend's sales!

Apparently they’ve cornered the market on exclamation points as well.

Nah, clearly this can’t possibly be true!

Someone on FreeRepublic stated that no one wears watches anymore!

Apple has enough of a cult following that they could produce rubber dogsh*t and sell a million units. People aren’t that logical.

You’ve got the cart before the horse ... on that one. It’s not the “name” that sells the products ... but rather ... the excellent products (along with customer service and customer satisfaction) that “make the name” ... :-) ...

Apple is the great American success story in our capitalistic and free market system ... in the Apple has 93% of the profits for the ENTIRE smartphone market (all manufacturers combined) ... and now we see that in just ONE WEEKEND they blew past ALL other manufacturers of smart watches for the entire year last year!

Must be a lot of people embracing the left wing fascism of Tim Cook. Does it have an app for ratting out Christians who oppose homofascism?

except for weddings and dinners out w/ my lady, i haven’t worn a watch in over 10 years.

why would i want a watch that is helpless without a phone in my pocket? why wouldn’t i just use the phone?

People buy iPads, iPhones, iPods, iMacs, Apple Watches ... and not a person’s sexual orientation ... LOL ...

It is niche product.

The apple fan-bois will fawn over it and there is money to be made.

Not a choice I would make for myself, but for some folks, yes.

Extremely limited audience on this one.

I’ve got a couple of watches right now that are laying around ... still keeping good time and I haven’t had a watch on in a long while either. BUT ... the Apple Watch is going to get me to change my mind on that ... :-) ...

AND ... what a lot of people don’t realize is that an Apple Watch is not a watch! ... :-) ...

Not right away. Even the LA School District wised up eventually.
