I like the watch. It is stylish, and if it functioned in the real world I would buy one. Probably immediately.

I really do. But I do not have an iPhone and do not intend to get one.

I believe there are quite a lot of people out here, who are ready for a watch which is a cell phone, but don’t need a pc except for the watch. I really do.

There are a couple of Chinese manufacturers making such a watch right now, with a Linux operating system.

Once one of those takes off, Apple will have lost this market.

I give it one year, tops.

Apple you are (badly) blowing it. I won’t buy the watch because I would need an iPhone to make it work.

I am not alone here. There are a ton of people like me out here.

Correct this Apple. Soon.

iPod started similar. Locked into a tight platform, expanded later. This is common Apple product development.

Nobody except geeks wants them. They've been on the market for at least six months and have gained no traction. The Samsung Gear S does it too. . . and is falling flat in the all important desire to own demographic.
