I might have to play with these in person before deciding if I want one. Who am I kidding? I want one, but I don't know which size.
The watch was pretty cool. I'm not sure whether it falls into the category of "neat, but not indispensable" or "this will change my life" as the iPhone did. Some of the configurations are undoubtedly attractive.
What's interesting to me is that the watch depends on the phone: it's an extension of everything the phone already does. Aside from the sensors (which were pretty basic), I'm not sure I see the argument that it's an entirely new category of device, but then again I hardly see the difference between the iPad and the iPhone, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. |
A long time ago, I started carrying a pocket watch because I worked in factories where wrist watches were not allowed for safety reasons. Then when I started carrying a PDA and later a cell phone, I just used that to get the time and discarded the pocket watch.
If the Apple Watch (correction) can't stand on its own, then I think it will fail the usefulness test thought some will look on it as a fashion statement or "groupie tech" statement.
I have one kid that might buy one because he likes to buy new stuff.
