I'm kind of digging the Verge's sarcastically cynical updates on their live blog regarding the watch.quote:NILAY PATEL11:04:59 AM PDT quote:NILAY PATEL11:06:47 AM PDT quote:NILAY PATEL11:09:46 AM PDT quote:NILAY PATEL11:11:48 AM PDT

What Apple has done is produce a new patented alloy that contains less gold per volume while retaining the same 3:1 ratio and 18K classification. The other material isn't one of the standard metals used in alloys; it's ceramic, which is less dense.

Oh man, that page with goons screaming about $1000 for a watch being too much after Tim announced that it's 10k is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

I was ready to preorder if this thing were reasonably water resistant and had some way of tracking fitness without being tethered to a phone, but it looks like a nope on both counts so I'll check back for gen 2. New macbook looks fantastic though.

The high end one is for sale in the same way those solid gold phones that cost 100k are. They are made to so people can see them on famous people arms, and want one. Then buy the lower cost one. Is it worth it? I would say no. But if I had a Hit music album, loved the lime light, and wanted free press, I would buy one and make a big deal that I had one too.

SO wait, can the bands "made" for the regular watch not be used on the Sport watch? I'd think the bands can be used on any watch, correct?
