Some folks have major problems with “the vision thing”.

Well, a "watch" which Apple admits they don't know how to mass produce, needs an iphone in your pocket to work, may or may not be available sometime later this year, and is manufactured by a company promoting the queer agenda.

No thanks.

How many do you think they have to produce for you to consider "mass producing," 86? Since Apple will be delivering more than 2.5 million on April 24, and no other maker of smart watches has ever produced anything more than a couple hundred thousand and sold them over the space of a year, that sure looks like mass production to any person not suffering from Apple Derangement Syndrome. Apple had stated they had already manufactured two million in the middle of March . . . and you really don't think they stopped making them then do you?

Apple had sold out their stock on hand for April 24th delivery in the first TEN MINUTES of going on pre-sale on April 10 at midnight Pacific Standard time. People kept ordering them and ordering them for DAYS afterward and are still ordering them today. No one except Apple knows exactly how many pre-orders have been made.

You keep pushing your claim that Apple is promoting the "queer agenda" when it is only the CEO who is promoting the queer agenda. . . Apple the company has merely joined Microsoft, HP, Google, FaceBook, the NBA, NASCAR, Walmart and now 60 other companies and organizations in giving lip service to the Gay Legislative agenda. . . and all of them except NASCAR have been doing it far longer than Apple has. . . and even put corporate funds and effort toward advocating that position. Microsoft has been backing it for ten years and Google even longer. . . yet YOU will ignore every one of their long term egregious conduct so that you can bash Apple for its much shorter term egregious conduct. . . because the news media focused on Apple. It gets more clicks and media attention. . . and its CEO is homosexual. It makes an easy target. . . and it makes you a hypocrite for being so selective in your bile.

Why aren't you also on the Microsoft threads claiming that Microsoft is promoting the queer agenda? After all, they've been doing it for ten years longer than Apple. . . (Sorry dayglored. . . )

needs an iphone in your pocket to work,

That's a bug or a feature, depending on your perspective.

If you are thinking of it as a standalone watch, then obviously, it's broken. Lousy battery life, bulky, needs an iPhone to work ...

On the other hand, if you are used to carrying around an iPhone but are annoyed when it rings at inopportune times, and you have to take it out and check it, then, suddenly, the iWatch is a win!

It does what that Swiss relic did, only more accurately and without needing to be "set" (a quaint term having to do with calibration of a timepiece). And it lets you monitor most of the functions of your phone merely by looking at its face. Of course, it does need to be charged daily. But so does your phone (and you), more than likely. So, you just plug it in, alongside your phone, and that's that.
