Nope,Apple watch is not worth it. Rolex I prefer than apple.

it'll probably turn obsolete in a year or two

I am quite a hardcore Apple user but would not buy an Apple watch. I have most of my notifications turned off on my iPhone so I think that diminished 50% of the watch's funcionality

The general consensus seems to be no in other watch forums but I'm curious what do you guys think about the Apple Watch?

Planning to buy one?
Wear it alongside your current watches?
or ditch your watches and live with just the Apple Watch?

That watch is for kid la... dont buy

Depends on how the concept of 'watch' changes overtime.

Why you should NOT buy:
1. obsolete within 2 years due to tech cycle
2. not fully feature pack yet
3. do not see the need to be notified all the time.
4. perceived price-benefit does not match up.
5. it's the latest tech out there. wait for it to mature.

Why you should buy:
1. it complement the Apple experience
2. the features available matches your need
3. it allows you to be notified at all time.
4. you think the amount paid justify the feature you get.
5. it's the latest tech out there. a premium is expected.

Noticed that the reason why you should buy and should not buy is contradictory to each other?
Now, you will either buy, or not buy right from the beginning.
The rest of the consumer market needs to be convinced that it's good; before the trigger to purchase is pulled.

Now, I won't buy. I do not want to be notified about emails 24/7.
I also adore the traditional concept of a mechanical watch and the art of making mechanical watches.

Going forward however, Apple watch will probably morph into a personal assistance on the wrist.
Who knows, maybe there will be a Apple glasses next time for Virtual Reality.

By then, Apple watch is probably a tool you need, rather than want.

apple

My son has one but seems that he doesn't like it as well.
I am dropping the idea of buying one. Instead will go for a GMT.

[Treblers]

Nope.. at least not the first version

[spoonie]

Apple watch

my answer will be no

[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.

sold mine after awhile and settled on a fenix 3/fitbit charge hr for fitness tracking... i found the apple watch boring and bland, none of the character that drew me to mechanical watches

[Virii]

pointless to buy the first gen guys~

[jaskiratsgill]

I may consider getting one, but have decided to certainly wait for v2.
