    • not surprising - that thing was hyped to shit and the only people asking for a watch were investors and tech writers. not normal people.inteliboy
    • They sold millions of them though, more than any other smart watch maker, which may indicate simply that those people who wanted one, got one.monospaced
    • price limit to sales? prob lowered price coming soon?yurimon
    • same exact thing happened with the original iPhone... it sold a shit ton in the first few months, then stopped, then shot up a year latermonospaced
    • what the model for new product vs demand? seems they have a good grasp on taking small tech steps to keep demand up.yurimon

    • The fanboism is strong in herepinkfloyd
    • It's not a phone or a music player - it simply is not going to do well. Why do we even need a smart watch?inteliboy
    • pink- is it possible to talk about apple without it being "fanboism" thing?inteliboy
    • Oh no, does this mean we're not progressing any more?MrT
    • fanboism is the best word ever!pinkfloyd
    • I called it and counted on it. Now, for the stock to drop soon, then buy some, then they reveal a much better product, car, etc within 5 years.mg33

    • watch 90% drop and stock plummeted 0.30 cents. go buy them stocks.2002
    • I'm waiting for apple space capsule.yurimon
    • yeah yeah... the hate is ALWAYS strong ... But time and time again, Apple always come thru. It's always easier to write a negative story.necromation
    • I don't hate apple actually. I love their brand.pinkfloyd
    • you have an apple tattoo?yurimon
    • yup, buy buy buyrandommail
    • Always thought the idea of a "watch" as cutting edge tech is weird. For most people their phone already does most of what the watch can do with betteryuekit
    • design and just as much portability. It can even tell time!yuekit
    • iPhone sales stopped then boomed again after a year because there was no app store nor mention of one when it was first released. It was a fully closed device.kalkal
    • Come the iPhone 3g, they opened the app store making the iPhone way more useful. I can't see them doing anything to the watch than makes it more more "useful"kalkal
    • Than it is.kalkal
    • I'm sure Apple employees many smart people who can see ways to make it more useful.monospaced
