So this is Apple's first-world sweatshop.

I'll see myself out now.

Top tip.
Exercise and fitness does not rely upon a $500+ small screen on your wrist.

People can always find something wrong with a product they can't afford.

Probably worth mentioning that Apple and Disney (ABC's parent company) share a close relationship.

Is this where they'll build the Terminators?

Its a FUCK YOU MONEY Watch. Why would you buy this! Buy an Android Wear watch as they have 70% less markup compared to this.

*It doesn't matter what way you look at it. THE APPLE WATCH IS OVERPRICED!*

-If you want to track burning calories, heart rate, and still have the functions of a smartwatch, just get a Microsoft Band for a MUCH lower price. 
-If you want a watch that looks elegant, can surf the internet, make calls, etc. get an ASUS ZenWatch or Moto X or etc. ALSO FOR A LOWER PRICE.

-$17, 000 can buy you an All-New Toyota Corolla. Forget a gold watch. Buy something actually USEFUL.

Of course a lot of people gonna say Apple watch sucks because they can't afford it basically anyone tries to focus on the negative side of something if they cant afford it!

The Apple Watch will revolutionize the way Apple Watches you.

So, I'm not an Apple Hater like a lot of people seem to be but I figure this watch must have something, or many really cool things about it to make people willing to pay for it. I did a quick search and found a page listing its features and was not impressed AT ALL.

Aside from the aesthetics (which I don't find impressive in any way, but I'm not really a watch person so I guess my opinion on that is worth null), the features seem to be that you can check notifications without pulling out your phone, answer calls without pulling out your phone, and monitor your health. Monitoring health is neat but unless you're someone who's REALLY into fitness or someone who needs to monitor their health because they're not doing so good, I really don't see this to be a compelling feature.

If you're going to respond with Apple hate please at least list all of the things other smart watches do that this doesn't. In the comments below i gleaned that other watches allow you to watch movies and playing games and such but again, to me, that just seems like it's something that prevents you from spending 3 seconds to pull out your phone.

I know there are people who will find this watch amazing. But I don't really care to know how many calories I'm burning, what my heart rate is, etc. Apple is trying to make us want to feel that we need this watch and how did we ever live without it. Similar to what the Iphone has become. I do own an iPhone but this watch is also aesthetically bland, nevertheless, I'm sure it will sell millions.

Is it April 10th yet? I'm ready to preorder!

[WVUSaxMan]

The fact that this facility was a "secret" is something that Apple wants us to know. It is part of their marketing. Just because research is done in secret does not make its findings earth-shattering.

TWO YEARS THOSE PEOPLE HAVE STAYED IN THAT ROOM???!!!

Why would you wear something expensive on your wrist while working out?

[AarronAndersonPhotography]

Wow. I'm a Google fanatic but apple really smart on doing this. Doing real world test instead of theoretical calculation

[Aswinishere]

People buy expensive useless stuff and then complain that their bank accounts are empty
