I want to thank you for actually responding to the questions, after 205 replies of piecemeal arrogance.

A few observations...

I don’t believe you will give up a $1500 watch over a $500 pile of trash. Nobody will take you seriously. In aviation, a Sturhling or Breitling commands more respect and dignity. I believe you’re lying.

You don’t say what the Apple watch will do for you other than the standard “Dick Tracy” or biometrics features. Another lie because you don’t know what else it will do and it won’t enhance your life anyway. The “Apple Store” is bereft of promises on an accessory which isn’t being delivered on time anyway (ask me how I know).

Next, it’s YOUR job to tell us here on this fine site what the watch will do other than telling time, annoying the hell out of users with notices the phone already does, dying after 10 hours, and any biometrics it does without going under water and frying like a pancake.

Finally, ask 20 of your friends which watch they would wear. A stupid square piece of trendy crap, or a classy, timeless $700-$17000 timepiece. Something like “Would you pick a ROLEX, or an ‘Apple Watch’”. Or in your case, would you pick a Sturhling over an Apple watch?

You’re on slippery slope of lies here.

Try $3400. It's in 14K rose gold. You want a photo of it on my wrist? I wear a $20, 000 15.5 carat Black Diamond Rose Gold ring too. I can afford to wear what I want to wear. On second thought, i don't owe you proof.

The point is that I will lay my Stürhling aside for the functionality my $1200 Apple Watch will afford me. . . even though it was a gift from my girlfriend. I bought one for my girlfriend too. . . and she will lay aside her diamond studded Movado for the same reason.

Apple watches are being delivered to buyers tomorrow. Many people are reporting they have received shipment notices and delivery information from the carriers. Sorry, you DON'T know.

You keep claiming things you don't know at all. . . and expect us to refute your lies. Sorry. Not going to happen. I am not going to dance, tick tock man!

I have at least seven fine watches now. . . but currently I am wearing the Stürhling. . . because I like the looks of it and the Meteorite dial is nice. But I am not married to it. Two of the others were gifts from my girlfriend too. . . and the watch she is wearing was a gift from me. I am more interested in what the Watch can do for me.

YOU insult everyone you post to. . .

Perhaps if you acted like this guy people might take you seriously, honest.
