    2) I have paid a tailor to remove belt loops from suits pants that I'll specifically not use a belt because I think it looks better. If I won't need a belt why should I wear one? I do use a belt with jeans but that's because they are more loosely fitting than my bespoke suits.

    Why do you need a belt if your pants aren't falling down?

     

    To thrash your children; why else?

    Apple may make them redundant. ????

    Get my credit card info onto the phone before I buy? That would be a trick, wouldn't it?

    *sigh* Were I a different man, this statement might make me happy. I know better than to be happy, so it just makes me upset. How stupid can people be, not just going for the lowest expectations possible?

    To attract mates via lying. Short story. My mother once was worried about my ability to pick up women my own age, given that my hair is rapidly turning white, so she bought me spray dye. I tell you, I felt like a cheap whore traipsing around with a solid hair color again. I like my hair like I like my women. 

     

    “12 years old?”



    No, without anything done to it.

    How will it charge then, are you thinking inductively?


     

    Are you thinking inductively? Then I’ll begin... ????

     

    I've never thought inductively; must give it a try one day.

    I think they're going to be sitting there in awe for more than a few days trying to figure out what they can copy... and still make it even half the worth in functionality, let alone design and style... than the iWatch***



    *** I'm still not convinced that it's going to be called that. But everything you've posted thus far I'm backing 100%.



    NOTE: too bad it's not easier to see "up-votes" at a glance on this forum. Down votes for stupidity might also be an upgrade to the quality of the threads.

    If Apple bring out a smart watch not called iWatch, all these articles and comments will become a historical curiosity of the fabled Apple Smartwatch.

    If they have a wrist-based wearable at this point it probably better be called the iWatch... Oh, I just noticed that my iPhone's dictionary knew the word "iWatch" and corrected the capitalization. PROOF POSITIVE!

    The fabled Apple iWatch may not specifically be a smart watch.

    If it's a real thing, it will be to a watch what the iPhone was to phones.

    You misunderstand my meaning.

    The iWatch may be a PAN of devices.

    I wear an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (for blood sugar).  The insulin pump looks like a motorola pager from the 90s and its connected with a tube to an infusion site. The whole device is super awakard and needs a lot of babysitting and calibration and maintense.  It also requires me to interact with the device about 20 to 40 times a day in one way or another.  (testing, dosing for meals, calibrating, reviewing, etc)



    iWatch will not likely have a built in continous glucose monitor.   But, if iWatch could control my insulin pump, i could just leave the insulin pump in my pocket, and quickly set doses for meals and check blood sugar patterns in a classier way.   I know that insulin pump manufactures like medtronic are thinking in this direction, but if they actually made the leap of partnering with apple to make the connection, it would make managing my diabetes more confortable.

    Since the fashionistas are showing up how could this only be about a watch? Does the fashion industry really care about watches and tech bling?

    Hmmm. Now I'm wondering what other fashion accessories we'll be seeing.

    We can safely assume there will be no iBelt?

    Apple created ecosystems, not just products. I expect that we will see several current and new Apple partners from the fashion/sports/exercise/home products and retail (aka mobile payments, iBeacons) sectors on stage Tuesday as Apple unveils its iWatch. Every product/service - clothes, sneakers, thermostats, loyalty cards, etc. - will feature Healthkit- and/or mobile payments and/or iBeacons and/or Homekit-compliant technology.

    Why do you believe the Apple iWatch will not feature a (continuous) blood glucose monitor?
