hurf durf i'm a watch posted:A Power Reserve Mode can be activated within the watch when the battery in the device becomes critically low, ensuring that it's primary function -- telling the time -- is always available. Power Reserve Mode can be activated at any time via a Battery Life Glance screen. thank god i can put my watch into low power mode so that it will still function as a watch if i've had the misfortune of attempting to use it for anything

there wasn't really a market for smartphones outside of professionals pre-iPhone. the Apple watch may be good enough as a watch and as a smart watch to really grow the market outside of nerdos that would wear an android or pebble

apple watch is going to do really well for a long time and poo poo on every other smart watch and destroy the current sub $500 watch market, that's my prediction. the current smart watch market is flooded with commodity android watches and the pebble. nerds and poors who fuss over price and features will buy a pebble, and everyone else will get the apple watch, which is how every successful apple product is positioned switzerland will be fine, it's the plastic-movement throwaway fashion watch industry (Diesel, Swiss Legend, Michael Kors, etc) that will be proper hosed. the people that spend $800 on a fasion watch with no provenance are not the people who buy the actually expensive watches, but they'll definitely purchase an apple watch. people that have expensive watches own more than one anyway so theyll pick up the cheap apple watch no doubt however i dont think the gold apple watch will do well at all. it's an interesting and risky play into a new market, but i don think apple can tussle with the old guard of the watch industry

reminder that jony ive said that "switzerland is hosed" According to a designer who works at Apple, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, in bragging about how cool he thought the iWatch was shaping up to be, gleefully said Switzerland is in trouble — though he chose a much bolder term for “trouble” to express how he thought the watchmaking nation might be in a tough predicament when Apple’s watch comes out.
