That W1 chip must be harder to make than Kaby Lake processors.

I cant believe a month an a half later and the one innovation that makes removing the headphone jack a positive is still not available for purchase, except in the most expensive bulky form of the Beats Solo3.

nonsense. i've been enjoying a larger battery, better camera, and water protection from day 1 -- the actual tangibles gained from eliminating the legacy port. W1 will be an nice bonus but there's still BT today.

(I don't care about the W1 chip at all; I think pairing by pressing the on/off button on the headphones is as convenient as anything can ever be)

try using them on multiple devices. it's a hassle.

A useless contraption that needs daily charging

you're talking about a cell phone, right? the device that the watch is an accessory to and which requires daily charging...

Think about how often you see people with an iPhone or a MacBook.

Now think about how often you see someone with an Apple Watch.

Exactly.

I'm sure Apple decided well in advance that -- to preserve their reputation -- they would give the AW experiment at least two "runs," and possibly three.  But I can guarantee you the product has not done as well as expected.  I would be very surprised if there is a fourth series, and would not be shocked if they discontinue it next year.

Until they convince people of why they need both a phone and a watch, it will not be a success.

your f'ing nuts -- im in a tourist town and i see AWs every week. it's an overnight billion dollar business for apple, there's absolutely no reason to drop it and i'll bet you $100 bucks there's a next version. 

as for the Edition, Cook was very clear on launch day -- limited run. now it's gone. not a surprise.
