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.

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.

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?...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I still go for my 1985 Tissot, still utterly gorgeous and works like a charm - it's quiet as well.

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.

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?
