Literally on CNBC this morning the same host said that "the X is too expensive and no one can afford it" then literally the next sentence was "no one is buying the 8 bc they are waiting for the X"....

can't make this up

While thats nice....I still think its pure BS for carriers to charge for a watch to be added to the plan. Its the same line, not a different phone number. For this reason alone I will not get an LTE Apple Watch. I already pay out the wazooo for my cell phone...I don't appreciate being nickel and dime'd by these greedy carriers. 

It's a new line. You're just a greedy customer that thinks you deserve an entirely new node connected to a cellular network 24 hours a day with unlimited access free of charge. You haven't considered that having your iPhone's phone number (a logic number, not the physical access to the cellular network which is what makes it a line) jump between devices instead intelligently instead having you use two phone numbers which people need to guess which one to call you on. If that were the case I'm sure you'd be complaining about that inconvenience, but instead you complain that extra effort is made to make the experience seamless and you bizarrely want that for free because you feel taken advantage of for not getting a 2nd logic number. Fucking brilliant¡

Nope. I don't see LTE version of the watch is a hit. Apple has hard time to improve battery life of the the current AW. With LTE, how long will it last, 6 hours? I'd rather have the current version with a week battery instead.

Get a Pebble if you are thinking there will be a phone with 1 week duration on a charge.

This is great news. The other day I said to myself, "I really wish Apple would work on decreasing the Watch's battery life. It just lasts too long." This is the perfect remedy: adding LTE connectivity. 

Yes, that was my thought as well. LTE in your watch... really? Why?
What I would like to see is wireless charging (over 5-10 meters) so I don't have to take the watch off at night. Or week-long battery life.
Sure, it sounds great to be able to take a run with just your watch and still be able to get calls or text, but this is way down on my list of wishes for a watch.

Well I hate to break it to you but you’re going to get LTE for conservative data sipping long before you get “week long” battery life. 

Maybe so. I will settle for wireless charging. But until that happens I will just stick with my analogue Seiko.

So you don’t even have the devices you’re criticizing. Brilliant. 

Good luck playing music, receiving notifications, making payments, or controlling homekit scenes with your, uh, Seiko.
