iwatch preorder

Post by Sae » Thu Apr 23, 2015 9:52 pm

I know theres a few watch and tech fans on the forum, so has anyone got an order in?

Put in an order for the black steel iwatch/bracelet. Not sure about the other apps tech but I'm slightly excited about the programmable/configurable watch display...

I assume you ordered this on the 10th and not today. If you do a search there are a few topics re this with only a handful of people thinking of getting it.

I had initially fancied one but at he price and the fact that in a year or so it will possibly be old tech I thought I'd wait, try one and maybe wait for a further iteration and instead I purchased a new proper watch

I think your view is shared by many.

Don't think I'll be getting rid of proper watch collection though, just another alternative and something to play with techwise.

I thought they'd be pretty useless - though i went in to play with the new macbook (i've been waiting for them to make/release it for ~2 years+), ended up trying on an iwatch.. not bad! not bad at all... shame the price was £850 for the one i liked.

I wouldn't pay the price of these for what it is - I'd rather spend the money on a nice proper watch, as Angie has done. It's bad enough that iPhones and iPads seem to become pretty useless (in terms of the newest iOS) within 3 years, without adding a watch that costs the same as either of them to replace.

I'll get a MK1 when MK2 comes out and there's loads on eBay. Learned my lesson with tech.

...though not with cars sadly.

I am intrigued as to how any 'i' watch is going to pan out. I fancy getting a Vector Watch to see what the fuss is all about and they start at £169.

Like the look of that Vector, simple, looks like a watch, and does some stuff but doesn't try to justify a £700 price tag. Tempted now, damn you :D

And as always it has been blended. http://youtu.be/E8sxwK2pJI4

Mikes always tempted to blend things in my blendtec that are not supposed to be blended.

I don't really get the Vector - is it me or does the website do zero to explain what it is, what it does and .. well, anything about it other than a few pics?
