I think there are going to be a lot of Apple Watches that end up in drawers. I'm pretty pessimistic on the whole smart watch concept. People will get caught up in the hype, buy one, and then realize they don't actually want to wear a watch every minute of every day.

I wouldn't be surprised if it worked as well for fitness tracking as the Fitbit Charge HR (except in battery life), but I'm not sure a $349 watch is really competing with a $149 one.

I still question whether devices are measuring resting heart rate because it's useful, or just because it's something they can measure. OTOH, I can see why people want active heart rate in a watch, since most runners wear watches anyways, and don't love chest straps, and heart rate is useful for training.

So, can you charge the Macbook while using the USB port for something else, or do you have to choose?

Too bad they didn't make the adapter end of the charge cable USB instead of USB-C. Then you could use the same adapter to charge your iPhone.

Hace posted:Ok that doesn't really solve any problems unless you want a/v out It solves the problem of, "I want to keep a display and a backup drive on my desk to use with my laptop when I'm home, and keep the laptop charging." And does it with one plug, which is better than the current MacBook Air.

It will be interesting to compare the Apple Watch and the Apple Watch Sport in person, since basically every external component is different. It might be that the stainless steel one feels much fancier for the price.

Here's what Apple says:quote:Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant. Still leaves me wondering about showers though.

The gold one is weird too because it's like, it's gold so it will appeal to rich people. But a lot of expensive watches are made of stainless steel or white gold, because a lot of men don't wear gold jewelry, no matter how rich they are. I guess that's where places like China and Russia come in, but I'm not sure how appealing this will be in the US.

Seems like they have a design patent on the strap ends, but good luck enforcing that against China resellers.

Tab8715 posted:Am I the only one who thinks it's weird there are two Apple watch sizes? I feel like the difference would be negligible, it's kinda bulky as is... It's very traditional for watches to come in men's and women's sizes. Beyond just wrist size, women have historically worn smaller watches relative to wrist size.

Yeah, I didn't find it too useful though. It doesn't give any sense of how it feels on your wrist. I certainly wouldn't preorder one blindly.

Has anyone figured out how the Apple Watch pairing works? If you try to start pairing in the app, it asks you to hold it up to the viewfinder... I wonder if that is just a trick to get you to hold it a certain position?

I wear my watch on my right hand and I'm right handed. This is odd but practically works fine with normal watches. It seems like it would be really awkward with a smart watch though.
