Apple Watch.. Am waiting

[Old geek 959]

Am waiting the Apple Watch to arrive. To be honest the Watch was not that convincing for me when Tim revealed it but after a week or so and a tons of news out there I started to love that thing.
Am not a fan boy but I think its really cool to wear such an interesting piece of tech add to that the current Watches are so ugly (except the LG G watch R). The sad thing that am going to leave my Tissot at home then more often .
I was searching Apple's site lately and I think this is the Watch for me:

No fancy gold is needed nor the Sport. This is the one for me. I hope the price is going to be less than 400$

Considering the Sport starts at $300 if I remember right there is not much chance of it starting that low.

To each their own! I am not impressed by any of the smart watches yet. Maybe that will change in a couple of years.

I think the new Asus watch looks very good.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me something about it that I just cannot live without.

For phones you can easily demonstrate that
For tablets, you can easily demonstrate it

For a watch???? I'll wait until someone shows me a feature that I need to have with me at all times and is worth the hassle of having another device that I need to charge daily for it to function

But just think! For only $500 you can have a device that will tell you what's on the screen of the device in your pocket!

Slight correction. The Sport starts at $350 ($349) so the SS with a (standard) fluoroelastomer band will like be north of $500 and add in a "...French...supple Granada leather...an inner layer of Vectran weave..." band and who knows what that might be.

$500 at least. Realistically should be between $600-700 for this particular band.

$500? These smart watches go for around $199

Not the Apple one. And the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is $300, the LG Watch R is a little over that, not sure the Moto 360 but I know it's above $200.

The Asus ZenWatch is $199, Sony SmartWatch 3 is $249, Moto 360 is $249, and the LG G Watch R is $299. Still, $500 is a lot higher than what these actually cost.

Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is $300

I think it's $200 now. Gear S is $300 out the door at AT&T with no strings attached.
