Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Apple Watch launch

[A.J. (newgent2tx]

My issue with the Apple Watch has nothing to do with the design (I actually really like it), or function (from all accounts, it works well), but it's battery life. How the hell do you design a watch that can't even last a full 24 hour day without charging?!?!?

Tell me more about these cats and guns you mention.

I think the cosmos yawned itself inside out at the sight of iWatch.  $500 to $1100 (ish) for a watch that doesn't do everything Samsung offers (camera, waterproof ... the Apple watch is splash proof, not submersible) and the Samsung Gear 2 is $300 with a nice metal clasp that has proven durable.

Now that it's a functional device decision, not really a quality or technology leapfrog, I see no compelling benefit to change, and I pity the fool wearing a $10K Apple froufrou bracelet and not expecting to be laughed out of the bar ...

What?  No comments?  Guess the list is just waiting for a good cat and gun discussion...
