Consumers in Australia flocked to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) store in Sydney on Friday to get the world's first up-close look at the tech giant's smartwatch, which the company expects will be its next runaway hit.

You don't have an iWatch? Your life is meaningless.

The thing that confuses most people about the APPLE WATCH is that it’s not a watch ... :-) ...

It’s not just a monitor, it’s a more visible way for people to show off their hipness. To many people, that’s more important than anything they could possibly do with the watch.

So you don't have one? You're totally uncool. No wonder nobody takes you seriously.

He is a full-fledged nut. I seriously cannot believe that this type of person actually exist on FR. You almost have to feel sorry for him that he has to degrade himself this badly for some company.

The mods should seriously consider giving this loon a vacation.
