It will not have a “gay-looking polka dot display” unless you want it to. You can make the face look like a standard analog watch, a digital display, a digital display of date and time with three buttons underneath...I even saw a display that looked like a Mickey Mouse watch.

There is little visual difference between the $350 version and the $10,000 version. Different materials and bands determine the price difference.

I never knew everything that I could do with an iPad until I owned one. I wanted one primarily as a reader and web access. I didn’t know just how indispensable it would become at work. The Watch strikes me as the same kind of thing. It will change the way we do things in ways we do not even know.

I strongly suspect that in a year we will laugh at your comments like we now laugh at the naysayers of the iPhone and iPad when they first came out.

Gay? Of course you'd claim that. . . but there are Apple Watches for both women and men:


Do you think this version of the Apple Watch in stainless steel looks "Gay"?

I don't think it looks "gay", not at all.

Mostly you wouldn't even be able to tell someone is wearing an AppleWatch, so exactly how would it say "I have arrived"? Most of the time it will look just exactly like a normal watch with your choice of dials.

In 2001 there were hundreds of MP3 players out there with no one company dominating. Apple introduced the iPhone and changed everything.

In 2007 there were hundreds of cell phone models and the Blackberry was king. Apple introduced the iPhone and changed everything.

Companies had tried to make a practical, popular tablet for years. No one had hit that sweet spot of useful, portable and price until Apple made the iPad in 2010.

There were cheaper MP3 players, but Apple succeeded where so many had failed.

There were (and are) cheaper cell phones, but Apple dominates the industry.

There are cheaper tablets, but no one company comes near Apple’s sales of the iPad.

You may hate them to the point of delusion, but Apple has become the most successful company OF ANY KIND of all time.

If you have a problem with Apple, I suggest the source is you, not them.

It is the perfect tool for the Lear jet liberal, made under duress in China, for lecturing us on how we are not doing our part to save the planet.

No Jobs, no ideas. Although cash-rich, Apple is now entering its own Microsoft phase.

500 dollars for something that looks slightly less like a toy, still needs to be charged after 18 hours, and practically useless for much more than getting texts and sending doodles to other Apple watches?

Still about as gay as it gets.

Have fun navigating a tiny screen full of gumballs. The only thing missing is a complementary “sucker” sign to go on the back of whomever shells out money for yet another thing the feds can track you with.

Trust you to not know anything about the AppleWatch. Always negative about anything to do with Apple. . . and positive about everything to do with Microsoft or Android. You suffer from a severe case of MAPS:

Swordmaker's and Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new ICD-10 addenda:

90210 iOS Munchausen's Apple-Plexy Syndrome (MAPS), The overwhelming compulsion to post negative, judgmental, aggressive, and false commentary on any website thread related to Apple products wherever found, including phobic reaction to projected Apple user euphoria. First and subsequent encounters.

There are several OSs but Microsoft made them work for everyone!

There are lots of laptops, but Lenovo has showed us how it’s done right!

You can get different Phone OSs, but Android has mastered it!

You can use lots of things to watch videos on TV, but only Chromcast makes it work!

You can use any web browser, but Internet Explorer is the gold standard!

Yeah you can buy an Apple server, but only real companies use Microsoft’s offerings!

Obama got more votes in the last two elections, Should we shut down FR and never question anything that comes out of his mouth?

Seriously, what’s your point? That Apple sells X amount of whatever, so shut up and worship them?

Bwahahahahah! Are you kidding me? Does it look like my name is Swordmaker the biggest Apple kiss-ass this side of Cooks left cheek?

I've read about you precious Apple Watch. It is underpowered, overpriced as hell, virtually useless as 99% of all smartwatches, looks like a cartoon representation of a "luxury" device, and is nothing more than a goofy gimmick for idiots willing to pay extra because Apple told them it was special.

If this thing was from Microsoft or Android, I wouldn't touch it either. I can say that clearly. You would rather light yourself on fire before doing that!

Oh, I know. Not to mention that ‘half dead’ feeling you have for nearly a week. (in my case anyway)

I HATE DST!!!!!

This morning my wife and I were getting out of bed an hour before we normally do, and was wondering why in the hell we do this to ourselves intentionally. There is NO good reason for it!

As a country, it seems like whenever a bad idea is implemented, it NEVER goes away.
