Hi! I don’t think i will get one the right now but maybe later. To me its a heck alot of money to burn. But the concept of the smart watch is pritty intresting. Though i admit i am a tech nerd and especially audio things makes me go wild. But as i have claimed in another message it will take forever for the watch to come to Sweden. Scandinavia is to small for apple to care about. /A > 11 apr 2015 kl. 11:13 skrev Joanne Chua <[email protected]>: > > Hands on Apple Watch > > The following is my personal opinion and my first hands on impression > and review on the watch. > > It is unusual for me to look in to the Apple Store on the second day > of the product launge.
