Putting popcorn in the microwave now while waiting the arrival of the gang of deranged Apple haters who will feel compelled to come comment on this thread. Bizarre behavior from otherwise normal folk.

Pretty good business practice to create a product that has instant demand and then meet that demand.
The Apple Watch is not for me. But I don’t gainsay Apple’s success.

I still think unlike the iPhone and even the iPad, the Apple Watch will be a relatively low-volume business for Apple because it’s such a new category of hardware and nobody knows how to figure out its real usefulness yet.

I agree. I also think that the display is too small. It may end up changing to something more rectangular and larger in the future.

Putting popcorn in the microwave Personally, I can't wait for the iMicrowave to come out. It'll cost $5K and will measure my heart-rate. Too bad it has to be recharged after each minute of use... but it comes from Apple so it's all worth it.
To: RayChuang88
nobody knows how to figure out its real usefulness yet. The whole thing with having to have a cellphone to make it work seems to cripple the usefulness, other than not having to pull the phone out for some things.
Not having ever used a smartphone for anything, I have no idea what those things might be. I was very interested in tablets/ipad until I found you needed a smartphone and data connection/subscription to do most things with them. Those things are not worth $100/mo to me.

That’s not true at all.

Not true. I just replaced my first generation iPad and went with just the wireless model. There is no need for a smartphone either.
I use the iPad with wireless keyboard when traveling. Tired of lugging the computer around and the hassles of TSA.
I honestly don't see the value of the watch yet. I'm happy with my Casio Pathfinder for EDC. If there is something beyond what the Casio has, I have no problem going with two watches.

How many iPhones are in use?
To: Swordmaker
I didn’t buy the Casio watch, why buy this?
not to mention, who needs a watch these days?
I’m sure the fanboys will be all over it, they’re fad driven and will hop on anything deemed ‘worthy’ by those in the media paid to say as much.
