So who's getting one then. They're advertising them like mad which I've not known Apple do before with a brand new product which makes me think they are worried.
I personally think they're a bit too niche. i.e. You need to have an iPhone AND need a new watch. Me personally thinks they're going to be a flop (I could eat my words in a month!)

I'm umming & ahhing about getting one. I've not got a watch at the moment & do like the idea of Google maps on my wrist when heading about on foot as its annoying having to pull my phone out of my pocket endlessly. Also seeing who's ringing/texting me for the same reason as above as sometimes don't hear the phone go off if it's in my pocket. I'm not so keen however on the fact the watch may make me look a bit of a knob to others! The styling looks good in the pics but I've yet to go see one in the flesh.
I've had a Pebble Steel for a while.
This has convinced me of the value and utility of a smartwatch.
I'll be getting Apple Watch as it promises significantly superior functionality - and I'm already used to what you get out of one.
Battery life is crap in comparison to the Pebble, though. There again: I charge my car and my phone each night. It's not a problem to do the same with my watch.

I couldn't be arsed having to charge it up every night. The last watch I bought is solar powered so I didn't have to worry about battery replacement.
I don't understand how these work really? Are they any good? My watch doesn't see the light of day underneath my shirt etc. Ok in summer it does but that's only 1 week out of 52 Most people I know either don't wear a watch or have a nice one already (i.e.Tag/Rolex/etc) which they wouldn't change. I really don't think they'll take off.
For the first time I can recall, I've not bought an Apple product on launch day - Either I'm getting old or the Watch just solves a problem that doesn't exist!

So whatever happens, I will get to have a good play with one shortly with any luck.
I have warned her that it will require charging every day, and that she will get sick of that, but as usual... women won't be told!
I love Apple stuff and have pretty much one of everything of theirs, but the watch just isn't attracting me that much for some reason. I think it's because I have a nice little watch collection anyway and buying a Apple will mean not using what I have.
I am very interested to see the health and fitness features though as that could change my mind.
