I didn't think I would be interested in it and I watched some video of it and now I really want it!!! Looks so cool!

It is cool and expensive. It will probably sell well.

I watched Steve Wozniak on a show and he said he's been waiting since he was a kid for a watch like this. I won't get one but who knows maybe someday I will.

Love gadgets but all my devices are Android. I don't know if this works better if I had other Apple devices. If it can stand alone I might be interested. More than likely I will wait for Samsung to do something similar.

Looks like we will have to redefine driving and cell phone usage. Distracted drivers will be everywhere.

Yes, Samsung's smartwatch has been out for more than a year with great reviews. Check Amazon, for example.

It isn't a stand alone product. You have to have an iphone that can run ios8 ( which means an iphone 5 or 6). It relies on iphone to do the heavy lifting on the apps.

It looks great. There are so many different bands and cases it's hard to choose. I really like the milanese loop band.

I planned on buying one this year, but the company I work for has been sold and there will be staffing shakeups. I can't spend that kind of money this year. More worried about the potential job loss, but still bummed about the watch.

It seems pretty cool, and I like the look and style. Depending on the band, you can dress it up or down. Doesn't look like some geek gadget on your wrist. That said, I won't be getting this. My phone is near me, if not in my pocket, at all times. With my old eyes, I can barely see the screen on the cell phone to read various messages, etc. the watch screen is even smaller than that, so I can't see myself using it for anything that would simplify my life. If the watch were any bigger it would be really ugly. So I will stick with my iPhone for now. The phone offers me everything I need.

Sorry to hear about the potential of your future employment. I know how scarey that feels. Been through it with my own company. One time I survived the cuts, while others around me were cut. Another time I wasn't as fortunate. But what I learned is that in the end it all works out. Crazy to think about how much stress I put on myself worrying about possible cut, then when I did get cut, I worried about future employment. The time I did get cut, I eventually found a much better position, with better pay, that I wouldmt have even put effort into searching for if I had not been cut. For me, when I look back, what I thought to be a hardship turned out to be a blessing. Hope all,works out for you, whatever the outcome.
