An excellent read treatise in Wired on the creation of the Apple Watch. LINK ONLY per copyright complaint that nothing from Wired may be posted on FreeRepulbic.
iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch

Thought the watch needed an iphone to connect to.
Looks like something only a faggot would wear.
SUPER FAGGOT Tim Cook is in the process of destroying Apple.
LOL
Do you need to be a faggot to wear it? I don’t want to get in trouble with Tim Cook, ya know..
Read the article to understand the concept of the headline. . .
Not buying anything Apple until they fire their anti-Christian bigot CEO.
I wouldn't wear that one. . . It's a version aimed at a woman, or possibly a homosexual of either stripe. There are MANY variations. I put that one up there specifically for you.
I might be wrong.
But my logic is that it is far too expensive for what you get and people simply do not wear watches.
My brother who is a fully vested 30 year member of The Cult of Steve is not planing on getting one for those two reasons. His daughters are also not interested.
Oddly enough I would actually like one because I was a fan of Dick Tracy. But how many people like me are there around that have the money to spend on what is pretty much a toy?
Read the article. You may find that it will sell quite well. It is far more than a toy. . . and actually does fulfill a needed function that we really didn't know we needed until the AppleWatch was created.
Not real sure that the watch is the next great thing...it may do ok but I really don’t think it will be a market buster or an iphone killer....Obviously someone had an article to write
Well you probably shouldn’t be buying ANY technology of any sort then....Check out Bill and Melinda Gates
You can get one with bands as nice as your Rolex.
It's not so much a watch, but more of a second display/touchscreen mounted to your wrist. It's for people who are too lazy to pull their phones out of their pockets when they need to do something with it.
From the article (emphasis mine):
"Along the way, the Apple team landed upon the Watch’s raison d’être. It came down to this: Your phone is ruining your life. Like the rest of us, Ive, Lynch, Dye, and everyone at Apple are subject to the tyranny of the buzz—the constant checking, the long list of nagging notifications. “We’re so connected, kind of ever-presently, with technology now,” Lynch says. “People are carrying their phones with them and looking at the screen so much.” They’ve glared down their noses at those who bury themselves in their phones at the dinner table and then absentmindedly thrust hands into their own pockets at every ding or buzz. “People want that level of engagement,” Lynch says. “But how do we provide it in a way that’s a little more human, a little more in the moment when you’re with somebody?”Our phones have become invasive. But what if you could engineer a reverse state of being? What if you could make a device that you wouldn’t—couldn’t—use for hours at a time? What if you could create a device that could filter out all the bullshit and instead only serve you truly important information? You could change modern life. And so after three-plus decades of building devices that grab and hold our attention—the longer the better—Apple has decided that the way forward is to fight back.
Apple, in large part, created our problem. And it thinks it can fix it with a square slab of metal and a Milanese loop strap.
And made in 18K gold. . . with price tags to match.
Yeah, a bunch of twigs from an apple tree.
The thing that most people “don’t get” about the Apple Watch is that it is not a watch ... :-) ... If you understand that, then you understand the Apple Watch!
This watch is the first of a series of mega failures precipitated by the super homosexual Tim Cook.
Sorry beginning of the end of a truly innovative corporation led by the genius Steve Jobs.
I have 5 I phones and will replace them all with non homosexual technology over the next year.
If I had Apple stock I would get out now.
