Apple will fail in their watch. History is not on their side. Casio failed. Citizen failed. Microsoft failed. All wearable computers failed.

You've not been paying attention. The Apple Watch on-line pre-sales SOLD OUT in under ten minutes in every country in the world where they went on sale for delivery on April 24th. They are on back-order for AUGUST already. That is later than any iPhone has ever been put on back-order. Sorry, you are wrong. Hours long lines at Apple store formed just to LOOK at the Apple Watch which was not even being pre-sold for later delivery in stores, except by appointment.

Go back and review your history. Pre sales does not equal total sales. The hype will end fast, and the party will be over.

I’d get one if they were waterproof.

I swim a lot and an Apple watch that was waterproof would be perfect to keep track of laps, show me emails, etc.

I like the idea of just looking at my watch to see texts, emails, etc. and to have short conversations over it, rather than trying to dig into my pocket to get it...and to hold it near an Apple pay sensor to pay for things.

I’d buy it now, but it’s not waterproof, so no go for the nonce.

See ya’, Sword! Thanks for all the Apple pings, we sure appreciate ‘em!
