You must have a really busy life... On a side note, I think you're kidding yourself if you don't have an iPhone by now, you obviously have some subconscious Apple envy or curiosity going on.
Just think of Slurpy; good night's sleep restored.
I'd love to donate you an Apple Watch as soon as it comes out, if it could improve your quality of life. It's clear you're desperately craving one. Just like many of those who spend all their time bashing gay people secretly hate themselves because they have homosexual tendencies, it's clear you're utterly obsessed with the Apple Watch, since you bring it up at every opportunity.
Seriously, send me your address and I'll get one shipped to you when released. Maybe it will add a small morsel of joy to what seems like a very desolate, sad, hateful life. Any other products you desperately want but can't afford? Maybe we can start a fund for you.
Good for you. I learned my lesson when I missed out on investing in Apple the first time around. I was heavily invested in a business selling Apple computers but never bought Apple stock. When Steve came back I said .. 'this time!'
As to Ben, he is such a looser it is amazing he wants to keep parading his ridiculous comments. Outside of of his hatred of Apple, his bigotry does seem odd for a Brit, we are mostly open minded, well the educated ones are in my experience at least.
Rest assured that he's not tarnishing the sterling general picture, at least the one I have of the national character. The exception proves the rule, and all that.
Your suggestion in another thread that he's a transplant is persuasive. His line that "God is an Englishman" and other such puffery sounds like "the lady doth protest too much" methinks. If he is a fake Brit, he's then likely to have a little stipend to sustain his trolling, and he's got a British editor to get the spelling and the vocabulary more or less right, but a little overdone, in my opinion.
Biggest question I keep asking myself, is will I want to be wearing this watch 10 years from now? Might be a bit outdated, firmware, software, and stylewise by then. Might not make a difference for the $300 watches, but sure does with their luxury watches. I've been wearing the same Rolex Submariner for the last 30 years. Guess I am old fashioned.
^ i'm guessing that the Apple Watch will be so compelling that some will leave the Rolex on the left wrist and wear the communicator on the right. Might be easier for payments anyway.
I'd say it's the best one by a large margin, but I wouldn't say it's the best looking one I've seen. Although the best looking ones I've seen so far don't seem to be shipping products and probably won't have the utility that makes it a great product. I think Kairos makes something that is stunning looking.
Just curious why whenever AI reports a story on Jony Ive or some other middle-aged Apple exec, we have to see a life size image of them but when we get a chance to see at an attractive woman in a story all we get is a thumbnail?

Definitely high on the "cool" factor, but besides that, the concept looks like an absolute mess- impractical, gimmicky, and probably the most inefficient thing you can produce. Pretty sure the last thing Apple would have wanted to make is an actual watch with a million internal moving parts.
The website is also a slow, stuttering mess. Something tells this thing works best as a concept and fantasy, than it will as an actual product.
That thing is gorgeous. And an 3/4" thick! Are they kidding?
It is not 3/4" thick.
The Kairos website states that the watch is 16.5mm thick, which is 0.65 inches. That's actually in line with many nice diver's watches/chronographs, including some of the wider Omega Seamaster models.
The Kairos watch is 46 mm in diameter, which is a bit outsized compared to the classic 42mm watches from the late twentieth century. Men's watches have gotten bigger over time and thickness has increased as well. Men's wristwatches through the mid-Fifties had cases around 33-35mm (diameter), but then the new fashion became 42mm cases.
My own 42mm Seiko diver's watch is 13mm thick, but Seiko has thicker models, again ones with a larger diameter.
The classic mechanical movement Omega Speedmaster chronograph (the "moon watch") has a 42mm case and is 13mm thick.
I find the Kairos rather unappealing (and definitely too wide), I'd rather have an automatic Omega Speedmaster myself if I had five grand to throw on a wristwatch.

No disagreement here. They even have some different display options and note they couldn't do the useful inductive charging, like ?Watch, because it affected the operation of the mechanical quartz watch.
What I like about Kairos is they were trying to bridge the gap between why people where watches and consumer electronics. I think they failed, but I think they failed in the most beautiful way possible. I don't see how it will ever turn a profit, even if it does ever ship, but I commend them for thinking about a solution in what I consider the correct way. As I've stated before, I don't find ?Watch very attractive, but I think it's on the right path and laying a solid foundation for the future of wrist-worn wearables.

True. It is a cool approach. As for ?Watch, I agree the actual physical look doesn't take one's breath away. However, I believe their goal was something neutral, inoffensive to all, versatile, and approachable- and I think they achieved that in the best way possible. The design is not supposed to bring attention to itself, yet at the same time being attractive and customizable. Taking practical considerations into consideration like screen size and shape, insertable bands, battery life, input method, etc- I don't see an obviously "better" solution and shape than what they came up with.
I don't care what anyone says about the ?Watch's design. I think it's beautiful and a very good design, considering its function.
It's pragmatically rectangular because it needs to display lists often which would get too cut off is its shape were circular or oval.
Its edges and corners are rounded for comfort and, I think, to pay a bit of homage to legacy watches such as pocket watches. Also, there are no straight edges in nature. So, the roundness is there to better integrate the watch's shape with its curved wristband and with the curvy natural human form.
Those pooh-poohing the probable high price of ?Watch Edition along with the "foolishness" of buying one to see it become obsolete in a couple years are simply envious of those who will buy it in large numbers. For one thing, the gold itself—especially 18K gold—will at least retain its value as it will be eminently "recyclable." For another, the watch's case design is elegant enough to survive at least several new versions.

"She told SELF, "I'm an athlete. I use every single muscle, especially my core and arms, when I pose."
Ditto. You left out the best bit: "It's so important for me to feel strong!"
She's disappeared up her own twattery.

Do you realize you just said the ?Watch won't turn on? :no:

Sorry, but I can't help but finding this amusing:
"She told SELF, "I'm an athlete. I use every single muscle, especially my core and arms, when I pose."
If you make me laugh, I give you a thumbs up.
I second that. A drop-dead knockout.
Just curious why you need a life size picture of an attractive woman.

"is the first woman to be featured wearing Apple Watch on a U.S. magazine cover."
First "woman"? So who was the first man?
What's so amusing? You can look at her and tell she's an athlete. She is phenomenally gorgeous.
