more like - great, circuit board is working fine, software is almost done, now someone find a nice small enclosure for the pcb, oh, and don't forget it needs a strap, oh- and sapphire glass or something so it doesn't get scratched. And hurry up, I hear apple might try to do their version soon....
LOL
Yeah, I think your description of what probably happened is most likely right around the mark. heh.
Okay, I just want to know how the model got his hairy arms tanned while keeping his hands milk white?
Only a guess, but he looks like a lefty golfer to me. In that case, he would have a glove on his right hand for hours at a time, except when he is putting (unless he's like me -- and Lexi Thompson -- who just leave the glove on).
Actually, it's pretty funny following some of the LPGA players on Instagram and Twitter. When they're on vacation and posting a pic in a bikini, for instance, their arms are tanned down from where the sleeves would end. One hand is tan, the other isn't. Feet not tan. Legs tan from where the skirt or shorts would end but not otherwise. They always are making fun of themselves and how ridiculous they look.
I doubt by looking at it was designed per se....

You just described the creation story of every iWatch wannabe out there. I seriously doubt most of them would exist had the rumor mill not been relentlessly grinding out the 'what will Apple come up with' stories daily for what seems like forever.

Thanks! I would never had thought of that not being a golfer. It just looked weird to me but obviously it was a deliberate model selection to send the subliminal 'Look even a left handed golfer wears one' message to golfers.

Just one more OT, golf-related comment. Phil Mickelson, clearly the most famous lefty on tour these days (well, Bubba Watson is up there now too, I guess), is actually right-handed. For a golfer playing lefty, the dominant arm is the right arm, with the opposite being true for righty golfers, obviously. Oh how I wish all those years ago when I picked up the game that I had taken it up playing left-handed.
OK, done with the golf comments now, promise. Heh.
not even as nice looking as the pebble steel, and that should not win any design awards for looks
I have to admit - i have a pebble steel - the gps when I'm on the water, and the texts and notifications are excellent - means i don't have to take my phone out of its waterproof box a whole lot less.
i even find the steel useful enough at work - I hope that apple gives me a reason to replace it very soon.
SO far, despite wearing it a lot, even when fixing boat engines, and performing other manual duties, its not scratched at all - whatever they use as glass its very very good.
If you lose more than 4 fitbits a year, this seems like a break-even product! If you lose 5, you come out ahead. NB: this assumes you never lose your watch.
Sleek interface. Impossibly fat. Does it even fit behind a sleeve? What were they thinking? "We gotta get this thing out before Apple! No matter how thick it is!"
So that's how not to do it. I don't see people that are prepared to pay serious money for a watch buying something like that in preference to a conventional watch made by an experienced watchmaker - many of them are beautiful and there's so much choice.
It's got to be the battery determining the size and the biggest power-consumer is the display. I don't see any versatile colour display being able to meet always-on and a sensible battery life, a watch can't demand a smartphone-like charge every night regime (I flew long-haul and my watch stopped - I don't think so). So the answer is to dump the display? Perhaps it will have to "say more" instead but I'm sceptical about that too.
Lol. I had a good laugh when saw this thing. That's my only reaction and comment about it.
there has yet to be a half way decent looking smartwatch, let's see if Apple can pull it off. Still somewhat skeptical, but Apple has a better eye for design. ..iOS 7 aside that is.

Others: "We had sapphire first!"
Apple: "We had 10,000,000 of them first."

looks a bit like a Pebble, but with sapphire.

Fortunately for them, they won't have any problem producing enough sapphire to make the 15 Wellographs they'll sell this year.
14, Im not buying one.
sorry but Wellograph is a really awful name, might have been a good name later on in the last century.
gas face that watch
That watch is ugly. It reminds me of an ankle bracelet used to track criminals out on parole.
