Apple doesn't care if they are first. They only care if they have done it right. Unlike the other half-baked cream puff pastries out of the discount bakery in Mountain View.
Exciting newmours. It would make sense to launch it prematurely this time, since the industry is cookig with "smart watches", and people are starting to buy them. Also, the health app will look mysteriously empty without its device. I hope it's flexible, and that it snugs into place with a design that doesn't scream LOOK AT MY WRIST, I'VE GOT AN iWATCH!
And about non leaks. Perhaps it's being built an assembled in Apple's own facilities on home turf?
I don't care when Apple decides to unveil their next iOS device to the public as long as they are absolutely sure that it is ready. Tim Cook cannot reside over a dud at this point. His entire legacy will be tarnished.
The Mac Pro was made in the US by well paid, professional, grown ups, not underpaid Chinese teenagers with questionable ethics who steal parts.
I would love to learn that the iWatch is being made in the US, but probably not likely.
I will reserve judgement until I see it but it would take a lot to convince me to wear a watch.
Nothing is going to scream fanboy like an iWatch.
its probably hard for many of us to imagine, but think back to before 2007...before MacWorld when Steve announced iPhone. How many people really said they wanted a smartphone in their pocket? Yes, I'm sure there were more than a few who did, but I bet not as many as there are today. I know for one, my dad probably thought it would be a cold day in hell before he had a touchscreen smartphone in his pocket.
So I can kinda see that maybe Apple will create a market like they did with iPhone. Many of us don't see an iWatch as being useful or necessary for them, but like I said, I think there's a large majority of everyone that never thought a smartphone was necessary either before 2007.
I wonder if maybe there'll be a band you wear all the time with no UI - just a small battery and sensors that record data, and then you clip on a square iPod nano that interfaces with it and presents the UI as just another app (or your iOS device interfaces with it for the same). That would be an interesting turn - works with iPod, iPhone, and iPad (and probably Mac as well) - all via low power bluetooth.
I, for one, will be one of the FIRST to order my iWatch, no matter what it looks like or what it does.
My first impression is that this sounds stupid.

And that confirms it. Don’t you have an Android device orgy to attend? Remember to bump safely.
No way apple will dilute the attention of the world by announcing them together!
Apple will keep the focus on each product in its own exclusive event !
Well...maybe. I can also see Cook doing this in a (albeit very different style) "just one more thing" kind of way. I'm reasonably sure he wouldn't dilute a Jobs-ism, but I can see AAPL going at iWatch/iTime as another "hobby." Something like: "we changed the world with Macintosh, iPod/iTunes, iPhone and iPad. But the intersection of technology and liberal arts is a wide city square, and there is room to have a little fun along the way. AppleTV helps bring all your mobile devices to where you want them, and here's another option. Hope you have as much fun with it as we do with Jonny Ive's chili stirring spoons made of aluminium and diamond cut champford edges..."

They're never first because they need someone to copy from.
You seriously believe Dalrymple's going to confirm an unannounced Apple product BEFORE Apple does? Seriously?
Hey, AI went apesh!t when they "thought" that Gruber had "confirmed" the iWatch a few weeks back. Everybody thought he was a mouthpiece for Apple since he would only make such comments with Apple's approval.
That being said, you're probably right. I'm just excited to see the damn thing.
They'll not introduce a product to take the attention away from the iPhone 6. That would be poor marketing on their part. My impression is this is nonsense.
The stock has been on a tear -- witness today's move, for instance -- in large part based on this rumor. I hope Sep 9 does not disappoint: if no watch (or some other new product category), there could be a pretty hard landing.....

This story has been breaking of months.

Here's the latest rumor I heard: Apple may or may not release a watch in 2014 or 2015. Quick, everyone go buy Apple stock line!

Just waiting for Jim Dalrymple's "yep" or "nope"

Double. Dog. Dare.

But please-not that concept render.

lol, no. There’s nothing incorrect about what he’s saying.
And unlike Google I trust you not to sell it.
