Apple at 97.68
I think that sums it up. Kinda a "meh".
Phones look nice, but w/o sapphire are just a modest improvement (nothing revolutionary, nothing bad). 240FPS is what attracts me, but no expandable storage...meh...still waiting for competition to offer this.
iWatch:
Bad:
1. Misses 2014 xmas
2. looks like any Android watch, but with a nice presentation
3. Not gonna be hard for anyone to beat it
4. Ion-X glass? What's that?
5. gold plated? Really?Good:
1. Nice presentation, colors seem thought out (considering it's all renderings, I suppose you'd expect as much)
2. Cant' be too expensive (guess here, given it looks like everything else)
3. Pay (I guess, I wouldn't use this)I am very disappointed there isn't a good fitness oriented one. Changing colors is NOT something that counts, imho, maybe even a cheap ploy (we'd all cry foul if the Moto 360 came with "gold" plating!).
Good opportunity for the Fitbits/Samsungs to jump in and make something us guys that would pay for a fitness band (Samsungs, arguably, is the closest yet).
Anyone hear/see if this thing has to be connected to a iPhone? I think that'd be a deal breaker for many, too (me, anyway).
- yes it does require an iphone and fitbit far nicer than samsungs offerings imhofadein11
- iPhone is essential; which like you breaks the deal for me. I bet it was related to GPS draining battery.ideaist
- #2 and #5 on your "bad" list don't make sense. It's what the public wants. And it's much better than Android watches.Jaline
- How is it "much better"? Does/looks the same.
Gold plated = cheapformed - "isn't a good fitness oriented one"
...that would be the Watch Sportsee_thru - It doesn't do the same things.Jaline

Strangely quiet from Monospaced - is he there getting hands on right now?
- I read he's being "touristy". I imagine that means he's made a mistake and is in Flint Michigan not the Flint Centre.Gucci
- But he's making the best of things... :DGucci
- I'm out being touristy with my bro for my birthday vacation.monospaced

All Apple products are always more impressive in real life in your hand. It always looks meh-ish in video on the web.

I love how waking the watch up is done by raising your arm. You know this wont work perfectly, and all of us will be seeing derps in public lowering and raising their arm over and over to try and wake it up.
Reminds me of that touch id horseshit. It barely works on my 5s. I switched it back to the 4 digit code because it fucking works ALL the time! Innovative Apple ideas that sound good in theory, and never work perfectly in the real world.

Anyone got a shortened keynote with just the good bits and not the bumming themselves bits? Likely it will only be a minute long.
- http://www.theverge.… that would good if it didn't crash my iPad :/Hombre_Lobo

You'd think they were unveiling the cure to cancer with all this hoopla. It's another fucking phone and a vapourware watch.
- Absolutely. The whole condensed keynote comes down to me thinking "that's an ok feature". And my day goes on...Hombre_Lobo
- If anything, it causes more cancer. All this wifi and technology strapped to our bodies.********
- But there is still some decent features, just wish they would tone it down, ame it tasteful. But fanboys love this shit!Hombre_Lobo
- "THIS is without a doubt the best iPhone we've ever made". No shit.spl33nidoru
