Since I had done an update for the iPhone, new app appeared so that you could sync your Apple Watch to it. So popped on Google had a quick look and I think this is what their final design is but the prices are typical Apple.
Sport Watch (green) £299.
Stainless Steel (38mm) £479 or (42mm) £519
18 Caret Gold £8,000.
Discuss. I for one won't be getting one as I'm moving away from Apple tbh.

I think the design is absolutely horrendous, especially for an Apple product. I think the more conventional designs like the Moto 360, LG G Watch R and Huawei Watch are far better.
I'm not doubting it'll sell though, like any other Apple product tbf.

Wear a G Shock. Charging a watch daily is BS imo.

I had both the Galaxy Gear and Gear 2, they are type of thing you don't quite realise how handy they are until you have one.
Since I moved over to the iPhone I have missed it, so will be getting the stainless steel with steel band.
Only problem I found was I didn't wear any of my other proper watches, which seemed like a massive waste.

Also, I really liked the gold and red one but £15k for a watch that will be out of date within a year or two with little resale? odd choice.
I get spending a decent wedge on a watch as they last a lifetime and sometime increase in value but I can't see the idea behind it.

You'll be shit out of luck then because they're basically useless without being connected to an iPhone!

You would get a really nice 'proper' watch for those prices. I wonder will they be as susceptible to damage as the phones.

Will be a while before battery technology is there to allow OLED or LCD smart watches to last weeks without increasing the packaging.
