New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

do these watches not work w/ iphone 5s?

4S is two generations behind (what I got), they want people to get on new 2-year contracts

i mean, 3 generations actually (4S to 5 to 5C/5S)

Anyone seen a video of a lefty trying to use the watch? Because it sure ain't designed for it.

can you turn it upside down and have the display flip?

I don't know! The crown and button placement might be awkward, even if the display flips.

well 5c is free w contract for me now at least. still have a cracked 4 i could barely afford 4 years ago. i have no reason to participate itt.

Yes

Almost everyone I've talked to that are planning to upgrade are just going for the 6, not the 6+. Disagree with that article up that that the 6 is DOA, it's still going to be wildly popular.

ya ill def get the 6 6+ too damn big mane the vast majority of phones sold in the world today are smaller than that

shits a full on phablet

not good for putting in yr pocket imho

amongst things I'm curious about is to see how they will be selling these at the Apple Stores

I can't wait to jailbreak one of those so I can make the second-hand look like Mickey Mouse's dick.

I'm probably going to end up getting a battery case for the 6 to double the battery life anyway.

I'm in favor of the Claw

Clapple.

that was my favorite concept, too! xp

still waiting for the watch that turns your thumb and pinky into a receiver

So last night on the way home I stopped at tekserve in Chelsea to see how many iPod classics they were sitting on. They had 5 silver and 15 black; the guy was like yeah these should last a couple of months.

Fulminated over it at work today, decided to get one just in case-- I just went and all they has left was one black. So yeah I guess ppl are buying them up. At least in NYC.

B&H still lists stock

Dunno who mentioned the 128 GB option upthread but I feel like they're probably discontinuing it because they're getting ready to offer the Touch or w/e in a 128GB flavor

Oh definitely.

The copy for the watch Collections (e.g. http://www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch/) on the website is full-on fashion/jewelry pitched:

A small French tannery established in 1803 produces the supple Granada leather for this elegant band. The smooth top-grain leather is lightly milled and tumbled to attain a refined texture. What looks like a solid buckle is actually a two-piece magnetic closure that’s delightfully simple to secure. We also added an inner layer of material for strength and stretch resistance. It’s the same material NASA used to create the parachute strings for the Mars Rover. This band is available in soft pink, brown, and midnight blue.

this is the only worthwhile post in this thread

here's the watch guy reaction, summary is "these are straight up nicer bands than any other watch you could get at this price but they won't replace mechanical watches for wealthy white dudes who like buying jewelry" http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hodinkee-apple-watch-review

this is a site with articles that use "under $10,000" as a price point

I know that electronics are cheap and taken for granted now, but slobbering over mechanical watch engineering like it is way more complicated than what goes into an apple watch makes a person sound ridiculous.

at least unlike your average audiophile they don't claim that the seconds marked off by an automatic Swiss watch have a richer tone than quartz

I need to sell some mechanical watch snake oil

u havent really experienced time until youve experienced bvlgari

p silly to talk abt this in terms the watch market at all tho its not a watch its a wrist computer

At the lower end, I believe the Apple Watch is a serious threat to those less faithful lovers of analog watches. There is a certain percentage of the population that simply doesn't care if they're wearing a watch of any great manufacturing process and the Apple Watch will appeal to them, if it works as advertised. Brands like Suunto should be worried. Casio as well. Even Seiko with its Astron line could fall into the same group of those looking for pure function. The other thing that could spell trouble even for the Swiss is Apple's cool factor with the young. At 16, will someone want a swatch or an Apple watch? At 20 will they want a Hamilton or the Apple Watch 3. At 25 will they want an Omega or an Apple Watch Plus? That should be a very real concern for the Swiss, appealing to a younger generation of buyers who live and breathe Apple.

I feel like I missed all kinds of personal benchmarks in my life

I did have a swatch at age 16

I have a ridiculous phillipe starck-designed watch I wear on occasion

my grandparents gave me a black swatch w chunky teal numbers for my 12th birthday and i wore it for a year, my only watch

well i own a gps running watch too

but i cant wait to get that thing off me wooeee

You just worry about it, Switzerland.

At 25 will they want an Omega or an Apple Watch Plus?

What 25-year-old can afford a http://www.watchmaxx.com/watch/omega-de-ville-tourbillon-men-513.53.39.21.99.001?gclid=CN6wgo6o2cACFWho7AodjFMAOQ37,000 fucking watch?

(Suddenly $349 is looking pretty reasonable.)

This is my watch. I'm sure some of apple's analog style watch faces for their watch will look like it.

I had a Mickey Mouse watch as a kid, but I think it was really missing something after reading pplains' comment

I also have a nice retro Hamilton and my grandfather's Rolex. Watches are nice.
