It looks like you can get an app for it that tells time!
Reminds me of my high-tech sister "speech texting" wherein you pick up your phone and instead of writing a text to someone ( ridiculous enough�) you speak into the phone ( imagine that!) and it texts for you�
Would someone please sneak up on me and kill me now!

NO!!!!!!!!
If for no other reason I can't read the damn thing. Plus the purpose of a watch is to tell time period. I don't text either. I stop using the telegraph key decades ago.

I'm sure I miss the point of it, but I don't see any useful application for me. I don't have a smartphone and guess I don't know what I'm missing. I see so many people missing the world around them because they can't stop looking at their phone. What the heck is it about a phone that makes them so addicting?

I damn near own one of everything Apple makes, but I'm going to pass on this one.

I might. But I'm not an early adopter. I'll wait until they're out for a while and see how useful folks think they are and what kind of battery life they get.

Think I would like to go the ohter way. I've been wearing a watch for years and carrying a cell phone ever since the bag phone. I'd like to keep wearing a watch but stop carrying a cell phone alltogether or carry it turned off and turn it on when I want to use it.

I'm not a big fan of wearing a tracking device.
I still don't carry a cell phone.

I haven't seen one yet, but I'm guessing the screen will be too small for my old eyes, even with the retina display.

do you guys remember back 20 years ago when all you heard was how lap cumputer small screens were going to ruin everyones eyes staring at those screens. now the industry keeps building this stuff smaller and smaller and know one seems to care. the regular size computer monitor has ruined my eyes now.
i bet the eye docs are loving it They were right...why do you think all the nerds have buck teeth and crossed eyes. Viewing porn sites on small screens.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Unfortunately it doesn't actually replace a phone, just moves the functions of a phone to your wrist, while you keep the phone in a pocket or pack or in the car.

No, but then I don't have a "smart" phone either and won't have one.
