lol apple comes up with new things for theives to steal

and there is no kill switch on these clunkers

on the contrary one of the main weaknesses of it is that it's tethered to your personal iPhone. it won't work at all without it in range.

From a technological standpoint it has 1 mahor flaw: only works with an iphone. At first I thought "well, a running watch with Gps from Garmin can cost 200 € or more. So if the Apple watch is more expensive it still means you get a good sports watch and save those 200". But why would I want to have to lug my mobile phone around when I go running? That's stupid.
They wasted an opportunity there. Unless they do the usual and apple watch 2 coming out in 2016 will have GPS so all the early adopters blind fools buy a new one.

To be fair, that's still a lot less than a lot of watch fanciers will pay for an over-engineered piece of mechnical status symbol.

Once I was working in a hotel and this guy checked out then came back like an hour latier throwing a fit because he forgot his $10k watch, and talking about how it had a certificate of authenticity, and then he threatened to call the cops or sue us if we didn't find it. I assured him we'd do our best and he kept getting shouting and swearing so I told him to leave or I'd call the cops, so he did. he called later again, still angry and threatening to sue me and the hotel. I made sure to tell the maids there was a watch on the lose and it was worth 10 grand, so good luck to them. No one ever admitted to finding it, but I hope one of them did and flipped it for either it's full worth and got a bunch fo money, or didn't know and pawned it for $20.

that's my watch story.
