Thank you so much for Christie for riding the Apple private jet stuffed with cash back to California from impoverished Africa to appear at our event, it's been a true privilege.

No seriously, how does it track distance and stuff without being tethered to a phone? IF it can do that accurately (using cadence sensors, etc) I would buy one, but I'm not running with my 6+. If it has to be tethered I'll stick to my garmin.

My pebble does all this stuff but it's only $99 so this means I'm poo poo and my watch is poo poo.

Talk about the drat watch instead of some lady running. People run marathons every day.

But now they can run them from up their own rear end.

Apple Watch uses this sensor, along with an accelerometer and the GPS and Wi‑Fi in your iPhone,

So much of their demo for this Watch thing shows that they are really, really struggling to explain why this is something that anyone needs to have.

I'm not sure how the boarding pass will work. All of the airports I've been to have the scanner facing almost straight up, or slightly pointed towards the TSA agent. Do I need to twist my wrist around really awkwardly to make it scan?
