I knew the watch was an early announcement like the OG iPhone.

Tim Cook a "zen master of hardware and software?" I thought that was Steve Jobs?

Ok I like the apple sport watch. Looks waterproof... it damn well better be for the price they are asking.
The only thing that would make it awesome (dunno if they said it) is if it can store music on the watch and play it via bluetooth to headphones while running.

I can't even describe how disappointing it is for it to not be round. After the LG R and 360, square is a step back, plain and simple.
iPhone 6 and 6+ are tits, and are really tempting. The watch is ugly in comparison to it's competitors.

I've been considering that exact issue since I am considering a smartwatch and, for me, it boils down to being able to walk away from my phone and know that I can still get my notifications and messages. Since I work from home, it offers me more freedom to walk around and deal with other things without needing to keep my phone on me all the time, especially since my new phone is huge and a bit unwieldy at times.
plus you won't have to pull your phone out as much anymore in social gatherings - you can just glance your watch.

I personally think the 6 plus is too big. Next thing they will be getting into ipad size and then tv size screens.
I dont mind the 5 I have now. But when need be, I'll update to the regular 6 since it won't be too big but will have faster processor, better battery life, and i need more than this damn 16gb!

True but thats what the Apple folks like. If they want bigger, they can go Plus. It is a .7" jump from 5s to 6.

AppleWatch Sport on left looks like a toy watch you'd get from a Happy Meal. Not a good pic.

$100 for 48GB 
. Meanwhile every other competitor except Nexus allows 64GB cards which lately have been on sale for $30.

Is the watch like other first gen apple products? Will the Apple Watch 1 be more or less abandoned when Apple Watch 2 comes out in 2016? What must have feature is it missing? The first iPhone was missing 3G, the iPad 1 was missing a camera.

Aside from maybe better/sharper screen and faster processor down the road, would Apple update a watch year after year? It's just a watch. What else can they put in it, a bigger screen? Does Apple expect people to buy a new watch every year?
