Apple watch arrived

[Matt]

Is that for the aluminium 42mm? Wow buy me one and send me it over i'll send you the money

yup, the 42mm Silver Aluminium Case with White Sport Band

Shipping overseas would cost a fortune though I didn't actually know that Apple did free shipping around Australia though, that's pretty cool.

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!

Not sure why you'd go for the first generation version, just seems like a good way to waste money.

^ This.

It's like with software, you never get Gen 1, as there will always be a new later that year, or the year following it fixing all the hardware problems that the first gen caused. Whilst Apple strives for perfection, I don't feel I'd ever get a Gen 1 product.

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.

I thought about that a bit,

Been some rumours that the life cycle will be different with the Apple Watch. That it may be updated hardware wise every five years. But also rumours that they could have an upgrade program for internal parts.

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

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.

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?

Also what can you actually do on it? Is it even worth the money? I'd never get an Apple Watch, I have no need for one as I have a normal watch that is perfectly fine. However, if someone likes them I won't be appalled or anything that they've got one as each to their own devices and choices .

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 lol

2) Not much at the moment.

Lmao, yeah that's a point!
