Wow. Look at that! Coooooool.
Look how big it is. You can drive a car through it.
Extra Apple, extra personal, extra intrusive, the new iWatchU!
As a staunch liberal, I couldn't be happier that in addition to our beloved government, now Apple wants to watch me 24/7.
Ankle bracele...err...I mean, Apple Watch for every American!!! Because Apple watch is a right!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I CALL APPL TOP THIS WEEK
+1 for 'As a staunch liberal'...
It gets me every time
This product discriminates against those with no arms.
Then just put it around your neck, you racist!
The stock's up 2.5 points. It's really "fading" fast.
Gonna buy this watch and jerk off with it on my wrist. Just my way of saying hello to the N S A.
The iWatch screen is jiz resistant. Enjoy!
It's Apple's Pippin moment. Oh wait. that happened before.
The future ain't what it used to be, huh..
"aapl is gunna crash to $20 (pre-split) 2013!" - idiots on zh
yea this is it fellas, ipay, iphone6 (most antcipated phone) & iwatch. aapl iz overrrrr
And of course its fading right now, why hold after ramping up 5$?
I remember when it was all over few weeks back @95. keep callin' it bitchez
iphone 6 -- Wow! it's going to have a big screen!!!!! Just about 2 years after everyone else. And the i-heads will believe Apple invented the big screen.
The blending of a cell phone and a watchband is dare I say miraculous.
Not just a regular watchband young chap. It's an iWatchBand.
Apples' got the 'Cult' thing down.
If this had been one of the 1st products out of Apples gate (like the iPod) then, maybe...
As it is, this thing just blows conceptual chunks...
And I say this as a "staunch" Apple user
Why is a watch called a watch anyway? You don't really watch a clock on your wrist, it's more like a look, or really just a glance.
Apple could have revolutionized American culture and English language discourse by calling this the Apple Glance.
I am Chumbawamba.
Have you seen how people interact with their devices these days. Rather they should have called it the Apple Stare.
Plus -- you need an iPhone too. The miracles never cease...
APPLE SUCKS
Piece of shit iphone 6, & 6+
YAWN!
Everybody has to have a hobby.
Who knows, it might even have self winding capabilities when particular hand movements are performed. Of course that could be for an additional price...
Dude, you'll destroy the accelerometer. </sarc>
Oh come on, just hump your pillow! No way the NSA can see you do that.
Ugly watch. And there's not one reason that I NEED (nor want) this gimmicky product. NO THANKS
It should come with HAL 9000's "eye" as the default image on the display.
That or the eye of Sauron.
How radioactive is it? I'm sure holding a battery and all right next to your skin for 20hrs a day is gonna do wonders for you
i bought a go-pro, so I can film myself jerking off with apple Iwatch on my wrist, then i'll send some tweets and post a selfie on facefuck...maybe try Linkedin for a job a the local peep show
it's a Brave New World!
You have successfully embrassed new technology. Congrats.
You have successfully embrassed new technology. Congrats.
But a time-piece this full-featured will lead directly to measurable hedonic improvements in the otherwise hum-drum lives of untold numbers of 'Murcans.
Whipping inflation... and winning!
HQ to Tracy, Tracy come in...
Apple users were Dicks even before the watch came around.
More toys for the zombie army. Just what we need.
This time they really nailed it. A big screen phone and a small screen watch.
Captured both the bigger and smaller market.
pods
There is a huge gaping hole in my life and for years I never had any clue what was supposed to fill it. Pretty sure this is the answer.
LOL
Don't worry, another one will open up soon.
You just can't get you no satisfaction, though you try, and you try.
move to Chelsea it wil be filled in short order
Me too. Now my life is complete.
My 2 sheckals: The watch is a piece of shit.
Your two shekels arn't worth shit
and you never learned to spell either.
Can't tell shit from sheckals, must be fulla' shit fer shur.
People sleep with their phones more than they do with their spouses. Apple - we have our iOnyou.
Let's face it, Dr. Dickhead. We're human beings. Our activities need to be monitored. We need to be watched...by..other.human..beings...But that's beside the point. If you don't buy this watch and wear it all the time, you're an enemy of the state. So, don't be a terrorist. And definitely don't be a racist. Buy this watch keep it locked around your wrist.
Cause it will protect your precious bodily fluids!
I'll wager 20 quatloos on the iCollar's success.
if you can't afford an iWatch, the government will make sure you get one, the same way all kids are guaranteed a school lunch
I am sure it is NSA approved.
Hmm, what will AAPL do if Terwrists use it to make IEDs?
First came the Eye Beam (IBM). Then it was an Eye Phone, then the Eye Pod and the Eye Pad. Now it's an Eye Watch. THE BETTER TO C.U. WITH, MY DEAR.
Wait. You forgot the ICBM.
Thats for when you're wearing the iWatch on when you are on the throne...
LMAO! iRestraint, not only is it a physical restraint, but encourages you to self-censor yourself as well!
Liberal - As a staunch liberal, I couldn't be happier that in addition to our beloved government, now Apple wants to watch me 24/7.
Liberal. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Can wait for the burned wrists from the battery overheating like the 5s.
WTF?? No pop out vibrator???
I'm waiting for the iDickWatch.
hehe... you watch dicks???
But does it have the iColonoscopy app already installed??
I want to wear it and ask women what time it is you knucklehead.
They're having problems trademarking "Old-One-I."
This watch won't get you laid. Nuff said!
AAPL is responsible for over 1/3 the volume of DOW today
What a market!
What market?
The driver of the American engine. What is it? Caterpillar's yellow iron? Intel's chips driving compute? Heck, even Tesla's attempt at remaking the car? No. Your economic hopes are in a f&%king watch....
I down-voted you because you are a moron. I'm assuming that by "DOW" you mean the Dow Jones Industrials, of which Apple is not a component.
As for the people up-voting you, even dumber fucks. I wish more people like you would trade stocks or play the horses. I'd be fucking wealthy. No wonder the pricks on Wall Street are so rich. People are fucking ignorant!
Sorry to come off so churlish, but I have a unhealthy contempt for people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about. And, no, I'm not taking anything for it, except vodka and weed.
You probably own an iPad.
http://money.cnn.com/data/dow30/
To be fair his name IS Oaf.
I own an Ipad too, so what? I hope that guy stepping on your head stepped in dogshit first.
$340 for this piece of shit! Are you kidding me?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Samsung has already kicked Apple's ass with this:
http://www.zdnet.com/the-samsung-galaxy-gear-s-is-like-having-an-iphone-on-your-wrist-7000033381/
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-gear-s-hands-on
And the Gear S is 3G enabled; so you don't need to drag an iphone around just to make calls.
Anyone else wondering why Apple is calling it the "Apple Watch" instead of the "iWatch"?
Could it be that Apple knows it's a piece of sh*t and wants to save iWatch for something decent?...
Sounds too pervy?
(4chan approves!)
Yeah, but the NSA "Locator" app is to die for...
Of course the market loves the payments: "Money for nothing."
It's so innovative! I can't wait for the lawsuit, Apple will claim Samsung techs went 1 year ahead in their time machine and copied it.
kids toy? what kind of man or woman would want to wear this crap?
Beat me to it. America's economic well being is due in large part to a fucking toy.
We are so fucked.
Every fucking retard metro-sexual hipster is who will wear it!
Just like the fucking Google Glass weee-tadds
I bet the South Park gang gets them soon
The desperate guy/woman who can't impress people with his/her carather or words... About 95% of the population.
The watch says: LOOK I'M UNIQUE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!!
The iWatch serves an important social function - it helps gays to spot each other in a crowd - iGaydar so to speak...
it's a pun, get it? "watch" as in we're watching everything you do, slave...the joke is on any asshole who buys one...?
Jesus Christ... BACK to watches now? Have we hit peak consumer BS yet?
No, that happens once all home appliances are replaced with appliances that have kill switches, Twitter integration, and cameras/mics.
Maybe they can put some remote controlled electrodes in them for the cops.
>>kill switch
switches that kill you remotely that is...
Call them "Smart" and that makes it All Good.
You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait for the iRock.
Enough battery to get through the day?
I've heard you can get a powercable that subtracts energy from your anus if you plug it in so you can be mobile all day!
must.eat.beans
You have to buy the methane collection dongle as well as the generator sub unit with removable quick charge powerpack (3 capacity options) which is worn in the small of your back. It is anticipated that within a five years all this will be integrated so when the watch runs down you can just sit on it and fart.
Wrist watch? Really? As if we don't have enough clocks everywhere?
Apps...what app makes you more productive? How many apps really perform a NEEDED function? Do you need your email attached to you on a band?
Productive? Meh...as long as the app entertains me, finds me a new fuck buddy, or takes away my ability to my own thoughts then I am in!!!!
I haven't worn a watch since the late 90s. Don't plan to.
Take a gander at this one...
I was thinking the same thing when Samsung came out with their watch. What is this the 1940s. I have a clock on every possible device in my house, car and phone. Haven't seen anybody I know wearing one. What if you already have a real watch, you going to wear two? Apple late to the party with a gimmick that ,anyone who buys one, will cast it into the junk drawer within 3 months. Almost forgot, it will tell me when I get a text, on my phone, that will tell me I'm getting a text.
It's not about the telling the time...
amazin
it
amazin
will day do a bono limited addition or a matt demon or gorge cloney 1.
or one wid der satanic face of angee lina jolly on
i so stoked ups i got a nose bleed.
Samsung Gear S blows that away.... http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gears/
Not to mention it doesn't look like the Apple Watch has a radio; so you'll need to also buy an iPhone and carry it with you if you want internet or phone service.
The Gear S is standalone.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
Half the country is out of work so they don't need to be on time anymore anywhere. PERFECT!
I don't care about time.
Stars on thars!
Can't wait for the chic Apple iGlass... which will be a boyscout style round magnifying glass required for those over fifty to read the fucking thing! Sheeeeesh....
On second thought... why not just implant the freekin thing and be done with it? That's where it's goin'...
My bet is that if Apple came out with iEnema the line would be out the bathroom door. People would take it L. Blankfein-style with a smile.
Tattoos with embedded electronics are only in the research stage, as seen in the journal Science some years ago...
Now the question is.
Does the market realize there's really no tech and no we are down to stealing from other companies? Imagine if 100M consumers use Apple Pay. Since no one has income increasing now the same store sales will go down by whatever factor Apple is charging on there new iTax. Not to mention no growth.
another chinese made watch, oh yippee. /s
uhh how will this canabalize the iphones ?
farmboy:
It won't hurt iPhone sales - you have to have an iPhone to make this work. The iPhone sends info to the iWatch which the phone has processed on behalf of the watch.
There is nothing you will see on your watch that you can't already see on your iPhone without the watch. It is pure redundency.
It's really a 2-fer for Apple; it's a waste of money for the rest of us.
-30-
Thanks for informing me I had the silly thought it also encompassed a phone too because that would be a normal thing to do.
Then it is even more a piece of crap.
Well, for 60 bucks it isn't that bad...
Does the EBT card work on the new Apple Watch?
Green AAPL or Red AAPL on the day? Looks like a real Granny Smith day at this point (101.55).
Will Flav-O-Flav wear one about his neck????
Hooray for FanBoys!!! You can have big screens now...something android users have had for 3 years now. Bet your camera still sucks
Lol @ Apple...
as stated last week in a different ZH thread, i am in the cell accessorie business...lots of volume on two major online hubs. I do the front end for 4 stores and have gotten ONE mention/question about the iphone 6...ONE and i get about 100 inquiries a day about random stuff. It is all samsung all the time these days...some LG stuff, some Apple stuff...but 70% of the volume is Samsung related
AAPL is going to be thankful they sat on all that cash here pretty soon.
They're going to need it...
Please.
Does anyone under 30 even know what a watch is?
Apple Payments has potential however - especially if it means $avings for businesses which pass some of that onto customers.
I thought the same thing until I talked to my sister, who is a buyer for Dillard's, and she says watches are huge sellers.
Wrist watches? Christmas and Birthday gifts for family you don't really like?
My smart phone tells the time. I don't need a watch that tries to be a shitty smart phone too! :p
Unless it replaces your phone it's just another gadget to haul around.
From what I'm reading the watch needs a local Apple phone to work!!! LOL
Such a pretty slave band... who needs to force RFID insertion when the slaves will pay to have this baby?
I still go for my Rolex
you must be under the pretense that a diamond encrusted iWatch Rolex won't be built in the near future.
Never
me too
"I still go for my Rolex"
I still go for my 1985 Tissot, still utterly gorgeous and works like a charm - it's quiet as well.
cool...does it come with a decoder?
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine?
This is the best quip ever!!!!
have you seen my big white clock? it can feel your pulse, raise your heartrate, and tickle your fancy.
Mr. Yellen! Please get a hold of yourself.
With this faux innovation, Apple's star has certainly left the main sequence and is on its way to becoming a bloated, puking red giant. When they unvail the airship docking facilities on their new California complex, we'll know it's time to exit that solar system at maximum warp.
I have 5 Tag Heuer watches. I don't wear any of them any more. My iPhone gives me perfect time. ..... wait, is Apple competing against itself ????
looks stupid.
Looks like something I'd get for free in a box of Fruity Pebbles!
"Can I have your watch when you are dead?"
~ Little Mexican boy to Chevy Chase in Three Amigos
Apple is a condition!
It is called egocentric elitism.
All Apple Products are Hypersensitive.
They are the 20 inch wheels on a 1946 VW.
If Apple is a technology company; then what is Ronco?
Ask Eric Clapton whether he changes his Daytona for this "new device".....
Can we record the Thugs with badges, with this watch ? That might make it a future purchase , if yes.
Enough with this shit, where's my sex robot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZGKI8vpcg
Can I use my section 8 voucher with apple pay to purchase the watch?
If so...apple might reallllly have a winner here.
The iWatch looks like shite, some of the concept art was much better.
I zippo is next . But for the pot crowd
... and just who will trust apple with their financial information?
