I believe that everyone would like to have an Apple Watch. But...wait! We all had watches and tossed them off our wrists when the iPhone came along. The buckles bit in to our wrist when typing, we sweated through leather bands, the bezel of the watc…

Too cool. An $800 phone, $500 watch/phone accessory, $1200+ a year for carrier service and a few more bucks for apps and in-app purchases to say nothing of AppleCare contracts, etc. brilliant! Guess I'll need more than a paper route!

We are being pandered to as would a flock of lemmings! (I am completely aware lemmings do not travel in flocks, btw) Wouldn't we all wear our Apple watch if given one? Certainly. You can't yet buy one. It would have been way better to give one to P…

It doesn't matter what Apple's profit margin is on their watch, nor how much Apple employees regularly get as a product discount. There are two salient facts here; Mr. Cook's email wasn't for employees as much as the general public. He knows the wa…

This article or story is setting the stage for what appears to be an expected "slow start" for the AW. I love, admire, applauded and am delighted with Apple products. I use and rely on them every day. I have at least one of every category of Apple'…

No, we are specifically addressing the Apple Watch!

Let's be clear. Apple has NOT entered the watch business. No one, Tim Cook said, needs a watch if they have a smart phone. The Apple Watch is this generations' " the Kings new clothes" gimmick!
-
Well, of course an Apple employee isn't going to grab the watch out of your hand and inform you "time's up!" (Assuming, of course, they were reminded of the time by their Apple watch) The point I was, and still am, making is that all of this extre…

This getting more rediculous as the product launch unfolds. The iPhone itself doesn't require this type of " personal" marketing. Either you need it or you don't. And if you don't like it can you trade it in for the next ten or so iphones to come? …

I will toss in my 2 cents for what it's worth; this issue and most surrounding it is a matter of money. Apple has found a way to turn the iPhone and soon the Apple watch in to another type of change box. Funny, for all the potential money that can …

This is an odd sort of story indeed. And, it would seem Apple would certainly have a chunk of product all ready to deliver to stores. But the public reaction, if you can call it that, to the aWatch, has been little more than a yawn. Why? The number…

As it might seem. What fascinates me is how so many of the "systems" or established tech is not included in current and up-coming products. Two that come to mind immediately are solar power and inductive charging. The battery on both Apple Watch a…

My point is/was; a traditional timepiece costing $17,00.00 US would be a lifetime investment in one of the best hand-crafted instruments money can buy. In purchasing an Apple Watch at the same price the longevity of the AW is what, three, maybe, yea…

Think about all the issues of manufacturing and marketing and dealerships, etc. and you will soon see why Apple nor Google will build and sell automobiles.. With major players in that biz as they are it is SYSTEMS the car makers need. The techers ne…

It seems that Apple is NOT working on a car per se. That is well out of their comfort zone. But they MUST, by nature of their business, be working on SYSTEMS that can be used in an automobile! Think "Apple environment " and you'll begin to figure ou…

Seems right. I was thrilled to leave my wrist watch behind once iphone came along. But as we all know the Apple price doesn't include Apple Care or the cost of apps. Apple Care adds $100 to every purchase....at least. Anything not gold plated, compl…

Nice review. Honest too. The rub, I think, is in calling the device a smart phone. I was trained at the Bell System. Phones were ergonomic, fit in your hand and were built for conversation comfort. Not smart phones. Think of how comfy the old phon…

Quite rediculous indeed. All comments are very valid. Just who NEEDS one of these? Even Star Trek nixed the idea of a wrist-based communications device in deference to the communicator pin. I know, I was making the wrist prototype to the wrist trico…

Takeo is right! I have been in an in-house department and several agencies. There is too much pressure to stroke your peers and supers. It's not a creative environment. What Apple might have done is buy a really cool little agency and let them work …

Regardless of when it launches or is announced think 6 to 8 month afterward to shake out the bugs and get fixed models in to the pipeline. There is always limited supply and whatever is available always has something that works incorrectly. So, rela…
