HammerTime Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I just don't see the appeal with this other than being new and cool (To some) . It's does everything my phone does which I carry all the time. :idunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InItToWinIt Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's crazy that the price ranges from $349 to $17000 (if I read this correctly Apple Watch price range breakdown: How much does it cost? | TechRadar ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kygirl Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 It seems Apple can make a pile of :poop: and it sales like hot cake. Fad or bust only time will tell. FYI-I preordered the Sport edition(a little birthday present for myself) :clap:. Here's the relevant part of the research note from Kuo at KGI Securities, courtesy of MacRumors (emphasis ours): We estimate production of Apple Watch around 2.3mn units in March-May. Mass production of Apple Watch began in March and will likely reach 2.3mn by end of May. Considering that most consumers who preordered will not get the device until June, we estimate global preorders of over 2.3mn units, with Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition representing a respective order allocation of 85%, 15% and less than 1%.

If you go to the apple's website it has them starting at $349 up to $17,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's does everything my phone does which I carry all the time. :idunno: My parents bought me a fitbit surge for my birthday. The coolest thing about it is that it's synced to my iphone so everytime I get a text it vibrates and shows me the text. It also vibrates when I get a call. I leave my phone on silent alot and miss a lot of texts and calls because of it. I assume the apple watch does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know says, if you get one, get the big one. It's a lot easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs4470 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This thread is almost two (2) years old: any updates? Any other BGPer's with an Apple Watch? Reviews? I am intrigued... The series 2 interests me as it is supposedly much better at being a fitness tracker as it has added waterproofing. The one big hangup though, is battery life. In a nutshell, it looks like it sucks. My current tracker (garmin vivofit hr) can go 4-5 days after a 2 hour charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomer Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I looked at it but went with a Garmin Vivoactive which I love, and it is half the price or less compared to the Apple watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete W Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am on my 5th iPhone, 3rd iPad, and still on my first MacBook Pro, but just don't see the need for an Apple Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
