  1. Is that supposed to be funny?

    The battery one is a little funny. :) I hope Apple does well, but the price makes me think it won’t.

      I love how when the Moto360 came out the battery barely lasted a day and the reviews were: The battery just made it through the entire day, perfect.

      Now that Apple’s will last an entire day or 72 hours in power reserve mode, it’s getting a ton of heat. With great power comes great responsibility.

        Yup…

        The problem with all the battery comparison talk is that it’s completely meaningless at this point. All the Apple haters are out in full force making these comparisons, but they are utterly ignorant to any facts since to make any such comparisons requires both watches to be tested in exactly the same manner (al la benchmarks). How Apple got 18 hours isn’t necessarily even close to how Moto got X hours is the point. So saying “bah, my Moto360/LG G/Samsung blah gets 12 days!” is complete nonsense at this point because no one has worn an Apple watch yet under the exact same conditions as their current competitor watch.
        WAIT FOR THE RUNDOWN / BENCHMARK TESTS PEOPLE…. then talk.

    Hilarious. Yes, the options do make your head spin.

    Do you actually need an Apple Watch? -> No -> Wrong Answer

    Nice.

    Just hilarious! Especially the “Wrong answer” and “This is why credit cards exist”. Yup, get a watch you must.

    • That really just seems more belligerent than anything. All I do as an Apple user is drink coffee and I don’t deserve to be alive because I watched it online? That’s not even funny in jest, and I have a pretty good sense of humor.

    Do you actually need an Apple Watch? -> No -> Waiting for future gen model that won’t suck!!
    Wasting $$ buying a first gen model of anything apple makes.
