It looks like a generic watch from that pic
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!
it's a casio watch. seriously
square face. plastic strap. fairly useless gizmos.
i guess 0bama is the 2nd coming of carter. now we're moving into the 80s
This is the sort of thing that keeps me from being an Apple Fanboy.... it's just too stupid to join in with.

Do you know anything about that rumored "hidden" and "undocumented" connector that lives where the wrist band connects to the body? The one that some band company claims they can charge the watch through?
Is that connector mentioned in the patent application?
What, that red isn't patented? My God, man, it -should- be. That's RED.
OTOH, it's a very good thing you mentioned what that picture is of. I stared at it for half a minute thinking it was a bizarre USB Flash drive, or possibly a tequila bottle from Hell, before I read your sentence.
They are going to develop a band that charges the watch off the body’s voltage and/or micro kinetic motions.
I am going to copyright the letter T!
Then they will patent the color and shape. lol
lol
Well they could patent the band charging system.
Of course my guess is only a guess. It might even be later on for a iphone-free capability to make phone calls without the iphone. Dunno.
Human sweat and all fine motor motions of the human body, including but not limited to translations, rotations, stretches, tics, spasms and all other movements voluntary and involuntary patent applied for by Apple Inc.
Sit very still or talk to our lawyers.

If it could make phone calls without an Iphone in your pocket, it might have a point - a reason for living!
Well right now it’s smart for them not to have it that way.
They have to establish a large watch user base first. To get people used to it and then to push for it to be a standalone device.
They need a better battery life ability and that’s why I think that port is for being body powered one or more ways.
See they want to get people used to paying with things electronically by their apple watch.
Apparently there’s some big move on credit card merchants to upgrade their systems to take more secure ways of payment. Apple is getting in right now as the upgrades take place. they have till october 2016 to get the new systems in place. Other wise merchants risk liability of fraudulent charges if they don’t and some customers’ accounts are hacked and if they find it’s due to the merchants’ in any way.
So there’s that.
Personally i think it’s paving the way to cashless society which I will not be a part of, 100%.
You'll be thrilled to know that you don't have to be an Apple Fanboy to enjoy Apple products.
Thanks to a radically new, dramatically improved way of looking at things available from Apple since March, you can now own as many as three Apple products without having to register as an Apple Fanboy. All you have to do is like a few Apple products better than their competition enough to purchase them instead.
Of course, this sometimes comes with a responsibility to pony up a little more cash than for the competition's products, but that's because you can't produce high quality products for the same cost as producing lesser ones. Apple charges only what the traffic will allow, in small unmarked bills, delivered to me, Ralph Icebag, in a plain brown wrapper, by a brown-shoed square in the dead of night!
No, wait, that's Firesign...
