Actually, yes. . . and some of them thank me for posting articles such as this which is NOT an Apple promotional piece. YOU may think it is, but it is not. A lot are thinking about buying the device—it's not a watch—as an accessory for use with their iPhones and would certainly be interested in why someone who has preferred very expensive timepiece jewelry watches to suddenly eschew wearing those in exchange for a $400 wrist accessory for his phone. It might help them make their choice.
You naysayers who can't seem to see beyond the ends of your time-telling-old-fashioned ideas of what a watch is think it's just the same and cannot understand and "beyond comprehension" because of that inability to realize it is NOT A WATCH like you've known before. Right now people are trying to define it.
This is one more bit of information for people who are trying to define it for themselves.
Those who have bought them have been surveyed as being 97% satisfied with them. For an initial product, that's unheard of.
Just don't expect everyone else to be so enthused at each and every of the latest promotions of Apple Inc., which this article is and was (from the stupid, irritatingly worded headline on) bleating denials that it was not, not withstanding.
The only doubt would be whether or not the promotion was driven in some manner directly by the Inc., itself -- which is something I never said.
Such a dilemma. A guy buys one of the things and is so utterly torn over whether he should keep it or not, or even use it instead of the other high-dollar possessions he could wear on the same wrist.
FreeRepublic needs threads like this one in particular, like it needs it's present programming to be de-programed back to old the occasional glitch malfunction that had John driving to San Jose whether he wanted to go or not.
