Kinda agree. Now that the initial rush is over, I went to my local Apple store to see what the hoopla was all about, and got to play with an Apple Watch. You know, the Apple haters wouldn’t sound so ignorant, if they actually bothered to educate themselves as to what the watch “is” and what it “isn’t”.

The first generation is far more polished than a Beta. With the second Watch2.0 iOS currently in testing, the capabilities of the watch is poised to explode. One thing about buying an Apple product - no matter what product you opt for - what it does at the point of sale, will be eclipsed in a year or two with software advances. Your watch will do more next year, than it does today (and that’s quite a lot).

Meanwhile, if you buy a competitor, I hope you absolutely love what it does now; because odds are that is all it will ever do.

I agree, and in the upgrade cycle for Apple products I try and upgrade my phone 1 -2 years and my MacBook every four years. Btw I can't wait for the new MacBook to evolve, get bigger and come down in price, so I will probably wait 3 years on upgrading that device.

However, I'm still rocking an iPad 2 although I think I will be upgrading soon and I imagine I will do the same with the watch. I don't need a new watch every year, so when I finally buy the Watch, I'm going to want that puppy to last a good 5 years. I'll wait on the Apple Watch for now, although a big part of me is tempted to buy the $399.99 Sport, but I think the ROI is better if I wait three years and have the watch last me longer.
