Would you buy the Apple Watch?

[RolekNewbie]

I'll stick to a Casio if I need a digital watch, until battery life in a smart watch can last more than 1 month

[disarmed]

No, Apple watch is a stupid idea that will never take off.

[Eddie0087]

apple watch? can anyone explain what does it do? any special function?

[amphibian]

i guess its all about branding. the brand apple is strong enough to create a hype

[ops9]

I personally felt too many gadgets to be charge? Phone? Tablet? Powerbank?

So I will rather stick to traditional watches unless only own one for sport time.

[localpaneristi]

dont see the point of that, i already have an ipad, phone and mac. why will i need one hideous thing on my hand and my gadgets are just a few cm away in my bag.

Having used a smart watch for a few weeks recently (not Apple), I would think most traditional watch enthusiasts are not the target customers. They are like two different worlds apart.

Other than the regular charging, the smart watch works surprisingly well for a relatively new product. I can see it being useful for situations when you cannot check your phone and you have to monitor important calls or messages.

Agreed. I only owns a smart watch because it is useful to monitor my status like heart rate, distances, etc, while running.

The other functions of the smart watch, although good to have, are limited due to the difficult interface.

I still prefer the beauty of mechanical movements in the traditional watch. After all, isn't that why we are all into this hobby in the first place?

Smart watch are nice like the samsung one but not sure how long it last... Maybe outdated within 3years and then no support for the software (kinda like Hp). If really to monitor health and some other alert function. I would rather buy something like Mont Blanc i-strap. Maybe cost a bit more than smart watch but still can wear my mechanical watches.

I would get one! Its two different thing comparing with our luxury timepieces

Either the Mont Blanc i-strap or a Razer Nabu, worn alongside our traditional time pieces would be nice.

The device must be really low cost because I don't see the hardware and software can be supported as long as a traditional watch. No way.

Oops is actually montblanc e-strap and not i. Can be blue-toothed to Android or iOS and listed under $500(USD) according to article I read. So quite comparable to most good-end smart watch.

[exxondus]

Yup, i would buy the apple watch just to see whats so special abt it.

[eg61]

No way for me. A trend watch wont last if newer generation and features comes out later.

Looks cool for the savvys......
