Would you buy the Apple Watch?

[kelvan]

looking forward to get my hands on it

[bravo]

Cant wait to get the sports version. Any idea when is this launching locally?

[tiptop123]

I might get sport version

[KBlade]

No way...too distracting....Dont find it aesthetically nice too....

[awlee76]

my 2 cents

Looks too bulky but the functions looks great. Rather than taking out your phone to see who is calling you everytime. The Mi Band is probably a good and cost effective alternative, yet you can still wear your rolex.

[Badwolf]

No interested at the moment. Still have more affinity for mechanical watches.

[lawser]

yes, it is quite cool.

[andrewongcw]

nope... too complicated and doesn't really serve any purpose if you already have a phone. Unless it can replace the functionality of a phone, then maybe.

[wedgehammer]

bought one for fitness tracking and notifications, as well as curiousity... don't feel it's meant to replace a mechanical watch for us collectors/watch fans... it doesn't feel like a watch, feels just like another gadget.

[david.tan]

after trying out and i have to say, not possible to replace any swiss or mechanism watch, till date

[jameschow520]

I am Apple fan but for watch I'm not so interest.

[davidseow1]

definitely not. overpriced

[woshuaima]

not for me! a gadget can never replace a watch!

I don't think Luxury watch market has to be anything to be concerned for the moment.

If apple is going for the luxury watch market, how many people are going to buy a luxury watch that can be obsolete in 5 years? there'll be a few people who will go for it and hope that in 20-30 yrs there is some novelty value in it being the 1st apple watch.

We wear our watches as status symbol and sometimes to keep time , its our men jewelry. We gush over the mechanical engineering and workmanship that goes into our watch because we can see it work. I am sure there is tremendous amount of engineering that goes into apple watch but how many can show and appreciate the beauty of the myriad lines of code and sensors that makes it work? Do you see a get together where people sit around sipping coffee admiring and comparing their apple watches complications and art (and date of production, and defects, etc.)...

I personally believe that smartwatches will supplant smartphones more than they supplant watches

The day will come when someone figures out how to engineer the digital and mechanical parts to work together seamlessly in a hybrid watch, then we will see a new era where a digital watch can be both beautiful and functional at the same time. I am still waiting for my "affordable" minute repeater watch which can announce my SMS-es .

i think now this apple watch is still consider as a "prototype" kind of watch? maybe wait till it is more mature than can consider to buy it..
