Pocketnow = best reviews ever & professionalism

[ShaneBabka]

Michael you are by far one of my favorite reviewer on this site. I don't even care about the Apple Watch but when I saw that you where doing an unboxing I couldn't stop watching.

[Tigermoto]

I think it's fair to say that I'm not a big Apple fan, in fact, i'd go as far as to say i'm almost the polar opposite. But my Lord they appear to have done a good job there. Certainly looks like it was worth the wait for the iCrowd. Beautifully designed, and it looked like the rotary dial scrolled so you can keep fingers off the display when reading messages? Simple yet useful, i'm impressed.

[MartinOlminkhof]

does it have an ambient light sensor? and does it have an official water resistance rating?

When reviewing the functionality of the Apple Watch can you comment on the loading speeds of the 3rd party apps?

[AlFatihaOnRS]

Does the box vary depending on model? I've seen other unboxings and the box was much smaller.

Thumbs up for the mickey delete... mis the weeky pocketnow pod...

The watch strap that came with my pebble gave me a rash. I want to get the spoets version but I'm not sure about the band it comes with. Spending 150 for one with metal isn't justifiable, so is the band similar to the one with the pebble.

[darthrochon]

I would love if you could give us a feedback of the Apple Watch with workout other than running/cardio (example: weightlifting, bodyweight) or test something like vimofit

[dom]

I have just switched from Apple to HTC and would like to get a watch any suggestions?

[alexisllamas]

Does the Apple Watch work with the iPod touch 5 generation

[Rykeron]

Can you show us how we can turn off notifications for certain apps

[VHADified]

Give us exact detail on battery and why no Mickey mouse for you thanks

[simon]

I want to know something specific: Is this thing worth the price apple is asking, given that the moto 360 is now 180 bucks from the google store? (I know google and IOS but still how do the watches compare?)

[bundyhinds]

Could u do an Apple Watch vs all the smartbands/watches?

[baxmailey]

Is it possible to also pair a Bluetooth connected device such as headphones or a speaker while the Apple watch is paired to the phone?

[geomichael]

What's the crown for ? If it is a touchscreen interface

[SpungeBawb]

What I really want to know is, how did you film yourself using the watch from your perspective with both hands? GoPro? :)

[sahilsood]

Pocketnow I have standard wrists for a guy... Should I get the 38 or 42 mm? I used the pebble which the case I think was 56 mm...

[troesplain]

Question: is it true that there's a rebate in the extra band case?? If it's true then careful to tear the extra band case right in the middle to redeem your 100.00. Please reply.
