My apple watch arrived last Thursday :D
Has anyone else got it yet? I went for the 42mm watch sport. So far I'm liking the daily exercise goal features on it, as it's quite fun. Still getting to grips with loads of it haha.

Got mine a week today, I ended up going for the 42mm Apple Watch Stainless steal with blue leather loop. I love the daily goal features as well, but I love my notifications being pushed to the watch.

One of my friends in work is getting the sports version to gold plate, haha.
they look so futuristic! If I got one I'm not sure I'd use it as I don't really use watches. I've not seen anyone irl with it yet either. How much are they?
I really want one, one of my friends has one and he loves it. Maybe a purchase for the future...
Got mine last month, I actually only use it to see the time and draw penises to my friends.. I need to have a proper look at it, just haven't had a chance yet
that looks the wrong way round haha?!Quote:

i got the black sport model, most manly imo of the sport range. Did want a more expensive one but they were too much haha. I also like how they include 2 straps, one comes on the watch and the other size in the box. I ended up swapping for the S/M as I was on the last hole on the L/XL and it wasn't tight enough!
Is it really worth the price tag? I still don't see how it can be justified personally.

£339 is $682.11 and in the AU store the 42mm one is $579 without AppleCare. For the first time ever, the Apple store here is cheaper than over in the UK??? whatt it's a miracle.
I find it unlikely i'll buy one though :(
Probably quite an expensive watch to be fair. But as such an apple lover, I looked right past it haha :P I personally think it is worth it.Quote:

It's all shipped from China. Atleast my watch was becaus that's where they're made so it's quicker to ship them direct and they've always offered free worldwide I'm sure!Quote:

I was through this thought process but tbh all I tend to do it buy and sell the apple stuff so I have the latest because I'm a bit of an apple loser. Lose a bit of money but I get the enjoyment out of it.Quote:

If Apple sticks to its standard life cycle that it does with all its products then, hardware on the watch will only be updated every two years, such as the iPhone.
If that happens, I'll probably end up getting the second gen anyway no matter what, depending on differences.

this cost me £2.50
who is the real winner here
Why do they not have the thing in the middle so it doesn't matter which way you have it? How come that didn't make logical sense to them?Quote:

1) I imagine it was to do with the engineering side of things - there will be literally zero room inside that watch, so moving things around would not be the most simply task in the world. Could also just be an odd design choice for a pretty ugly watch lolQuote:

I don't think the technology is ready yet.
I think the apple watch looks really cool and fancy, but if i was to wear it i would scratch up the screen within a month.
Precisely. Might as well pull out your phone to receive more information than a tiny, jumbled screen can ever produce. The only decent part of it seems to be the fitness side - but you can buy bands which send this sort of information to your phone for a price that does not have to be the price of half a phone, or the full price.Quote:
