I haven’t worn a watch for years… and even though I’m a Galaxy Note user already… there isn’t anything compelling about this thing that has me wanting to change that.

Hopefully if Apple decided to enter the “smart phone” market they’ll introduce something small enough that it doesn’t scream “techie” while still being large enough to do something more useful than just tell the time.

Personally, I’d have to have a smartphone the size of a Pipboy 3000 to feel like it’s giving me worthwhile data (anything I can already do well on my phone doesn’t warrant me buying another device that does it too.)

Thanks. I, too, am like you. I still like to think that Apple does what they want, when they want on their own terms. However the market place is more competitive and crowded than ever before.

Very true and I respect your response. Part of that makes sense. I am an old school mac fan. I remember a time when Apple beat to it’s own drum and did not really care what anyone else thought. I guess reality should sit in and make me wake up to the fact that those days are gone.. and I still think this think is UGLY! 😛

I’m sure the relevance has to do with the “impending” iWatch, or whatever Apple ends up calling it. Yes, it’s butt ugly, expensive and not what I would expect from Apple. I think that’s the point. In the absence of an iWatch, we are left to debate what Apple might do differently. That doesn’t make this an Android article. It just invites conversation and speculation.
