Right. Do people really yearn to sleep with their watch on? I never understood the flip out reaction about nightly charging I guess. I'm not wearing a bulky watch to sleep. Not even a Rolex. May as well plop it on the Qi charger (360) as your head hits the pillow. The Apple watch will have a Qi charger, right? (zero interest in iOS, just curious)

Yes. Fitbit has a silent alarm feature that wakes you up with vibrations. I can't handle waking up to blaring alarms anymore. It would be a nice app to have on Apple Watch but it's not a deal breaker if I can't wear one to bed.

Jim Dalrymple touches on it in this article along with Gruber

Basically, why would this image exist is the gist of it



I remember Gruber talking about this on his podcast. He makes a good case for why it could be possible because the internals are made up of one chip. Imagine, instead of having to replace a $350+ watch (or $1000+ if you bought the gold watch) every 2-3 years you'd just take it into an Apple Store and they'd replace the chip with the current gen spec (S2, S3, etc).
