Since no one seems to really like how it looks. What if it looked like the Moto 360?

My favorite concept design though was this concept.

THAT is a smart watch. i would have bought it already if the battery lasted a full day. i might hold out for the LG G watch R though.

Not a fan of LG since they seem to have quality control issues. But I have to admit the feature set on the iWatch is unmatched by any Android smart watch. It won't be long until companies like Samsung, LG, Motorola etc copy the iWatch's features. I always wanted these smart watches to do more and Apple gives me what I want in a form factor I don't like.

for me, it has to be a watch first, everything else comes second. i find the square design to be too "geeky" and cant see myself wearing it at all.

btw, which features are you referring to?

As a watch afficionado I do not care at all about this... and you need to be recharging it every day? Oh come on...

I'll keep my iPhone 5 (6 soon) and my automatic watches, thanks.

Still no usefulness... An Iphone can do all of this.

The only thing I'd use it for is for running/workout since it has heart monitoring sensor and all that jazz. But too steep at 349 though.

If you support Apple, you support slave labor. That company is absolute scum.

And Dell, HP, etc are???? How about your clothes? A lot of companies use Foxconn, Quanta, etc for assembling their products in China. It's wrong to single out Apple because most likely you are wearing something or using an electronic device that was either built by the same companies Apple use to build their products or have the same conditions in their factories( just isn't publicized since Apple is the popular target).

I'd have bought a Moto X if Google hadn't sold them out to the Chinese and closed the Ft Worth plant. Jackholes.

So what company would you rather support, How much more are you willing to pay for all your product to make sure they are made in the US with Union Labor.

I'm all for unhealthy people getting charged more than healthy people. I find it ridiculous what I used to pay or even currently play(I work for a health system even) when I go to the doctor once every 2 years practically.

The only thing that was suppose to be done in TX was the finally customization assemble, to put the petty color cases on the phone, the rest of the product was actually manufacture in China

I always said that health insurance should be the same as car insurance, everyone has to pay or they get not coverage and insurance funded hospital do not have to help those without insurance. Image you wrecked your car and took it to a garage and told them to fix and then told them at the end you have no money or insurance, wonder how well that will work.

And health insurance company should be allow to do the same thing as life and car insurance companies can do which is up your premium for bad behavior. I know people who do high risk things and pay higher car and life insurance and they are okay with that since they know it is their choose to do high risk things.

However, in health insurance industry your not allow to treat people differently based on how they treat themselves, and people are continually awarded for doing bad things and not paying anything since the balance of us who do pay, are paying for those who choose not to pay.

yeah you are not the target audience for this product. I saw a great analysis by a guy who understood the whole watch, jewel, fashion industry and his conclusion was if apple price it right with the right level of functionality and target what he call the naked wrist market segment they most likely will be successful. Basically it is the 18 to 34 crowd who found no value in the watch and uses there phone as they primary time piece.
