hey lets all spend hundreds of dollars on a thing that does what our phones do except less but we wear it on our wrists so people know we have an apple product
also it's pretty obvious apple is trying to scramble up on the 'smartwatch' shit that samsung already capitalized onThere were consistent rumors and Apple Watch patents many months before Samsung's watch was a thing people were aware of. It's kind of silly to be so sure that Apple's watch is a reaction to Samsung's.
hey lets all spend hundreds of dollars on a thing that does what our phones do except less but we wear it on our wrists so people know we have an apple productThe most obvious use here is for health and fitness. It senses your heartrate (which phones don't do) and can give you relevant information (distance traveled, how long you've been working out, how hard you're going, suggestions regarding pacing) while you're exercising.
The title made me think this thread was about some sort of stalker app.There's an app that shows what your iPhone camera sees, so you could set it up in your sister's room or whatever and watch her masturbate.

Why do you go to such great lengths to point out that Apple didn't invent a category they never claimed to have

Apple is innovative here.
You don't have to pull a thing out of your pocket to see your live fitness related information like with Fitbit. I don't want to fumble around with a phone or a thing to know my heartrate, how far I've run or how close I am to meeting my daily goal, especially while actually exercising (this is in a theoretical universe where I exercise).hey lets all spend hundreds of dollars on a thing that does what our phones do except less but we wear it on our wrists so people know we have an apple productThe most obvious use here is for health and fitness.

I mean I guess that's cool if you don't already have a smartphone and a heart rate monitor, but since most people that would be interested in the iWatch already do have smartphones then it would make more sense to just get one of those Fitbit things since it already monitors your heart rate, distance traveled, etc. at a much lower cost and all you have to do is keep it in your pocket.
"it's silly to conclude that the Apple Watch is a reaction to the Galaxy Gear" != "Apple invented the smartwatch"There were consistent rumors and Apple Watch patents many months before Samsung's watch was a thing people were aware of.

I don't think something like that watch would be considered to follow into the smartwatch variety, given it's age and preceeding modern smartphonesThe Galaxy Gear was received poorly according to the article you linked to, so you don't think Samsung could have skimped on the R&D and QA and rushed theirs out? I mean, development on what would eventually become the iPhone notoriously started in 2004. It's clear Apple isn't one to rush out new product lines. You haven't enough reason to believe that this is just Apple "trying to scramble up on the 'smartwatch' shit that samsung already capitalized on".
but rumors =! legitimacy. I'm sure they were working on a watch as well but I think they would have pushed it out in a more timely manner, considering Samsung would also have a good deal of time to R&D a smartwatch. Having something on release and in people's mind doesn't mean it didn't exist before 'people knew about it'
if apple is so great why are there only 4 apps per row on their largest phone huh?!?this is a limitation in the core of iOS and it pertains to incredibly complex concepts such as bits and integars and is the very reason why as a child you asked god why link could only hold 255 rupees in the first zelda and when he didn't respond you came out as an atheist which caused you to become distant from your parents and molded you into the very man you are today
