Is the apple watch worth it?
I love watches. I have a few of them too, from analog to digital to straps. To one of those metal things I have got them too. The only watch I don't have are the electronic watches, because I don't like them. Now I have seen the features on the apple watch. It tells the time, it tells you your heart beat. (Pretty stupid) but it's basically like you have your iPhone on your wrist. It's pretty cool but is it worth $300 no it isn't. Why would you wanna buy a watch that is basically your phone you have to charge(pretty stupid). I would rather buy one of the classics. Also why do we need a gold edition? It's stupid and I recon the people that have $17,000 lying around would rather buy it on a Rolex. Plus even if you buy a apple watch that is the gold edition they are going to bring Apple Watch 2 TM. The price value will go down. If you buy a god, Rolex the price will go up, because if it's a Rolex, old is gold.
In the end, the apple watch isn't worth it, unless you are a hipster.

It's probably full of bugs. The Samsung smart watch is 10 times better, and cheaper. Apple is only for class, not usage or anything. It's like a fashion statement :/ I suggest you wait for them to lower the prices.

AHAHAH no

It's another product for Apple to make easy money off- their fanbase will end up buying whatever they come out with, regardless of how good or bad it is. I could begin to understand the purpose of one of these if it were 2 or 3 times less expensive, but with prices starting at $500ish AUD, it just seems to be a gimmick and an expensive one at that.

(this is coming from someone who only really has respect for iPhones and iPads, so whether you want to listen to me is your choice- I'd like to think I am the voice of reason in this kind of topic though)

Don't think it's even worth half the price. But, Apple is god.

I preordered the Space Gray sport 42mm model! Yes i'm an Apple fan boy!
I wanted one of the steal ones, but like everyone else said. This is the first generation. The Apple Watch 2 probably will be way better and probably will come out like next year so then Ill actually buy a model I would like :)

I live next to apple and my mom worked at apple. While looking at the iWatch first hand, I can say it isn't a bad product, however there are many better smartwatches out there, and I'm being fully honest here - all smart watches are absolutely useless for anything other than for show. Just like many other products your paying for a brand and show, not quality. The iWatch is really wierd imo, and I like the googlenow watches better.

I'd suggest buying a phone like the OnePlus One (350$ for 64 GB off contract with great specs), your money would be better spent.

When iPhones came out I thought "wow this is so dumb, they already have iPod touches this is the exact same thing". Got one.
When iPads came out I thought "wow this is so dumb, this is just a bigger version of an iPhone". Got one.
When iPad minis came out I thought "this is just an in between size of an iPad and an iPhone... I don't need this..." Got one.
Now that the iWatch is out, is it worth it? No. Will I end up getting one because I'm a mainstream conformist? Probably.

Apple is trying to recover from their lost war versus Google, Samsung, and other big companies. This isn't really helping.
