Hi! It will as usual take forever for apple to release it here in Sweden. As all things use to do regarding apple. Siri for example has been out for quite some time now and is finally here in swedish after 3 years. /A 10 apr 2015 kl. 18:03 skrev Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org: Hi Yuma,

All of the watches have the same interface and the same internal technology and features. The watch you looked at, with the metal band, which you stated the cost of $1295 AUD, is about $1000 USD. The cheapest apple Watch is the Apple Watch with a plastic band for $595 USD, around $695 AUD. The

What I find so very interesting is how these types of discussions go on and on about new products, how some people state they would never buy it, yada yada yada. At the end of the day, what is the point? Don't like it? Its too heavy. Too big. Too expensive. Too small. Too cheap.

It’s not about comparing the apple watch with another watch price wise. I Said that I have worn watches including a piget, a tag heueur and even a simple swatch. The experience of holding it on your wrist, design wise is already a no no when I wore the apple watch. Read a bit more before you

Sorry, I've misrepresented my own position. I'm not sold by the marketing, and I'm not buying a Watch right now. I, too, will await generation 2; let the early adopters figure out the use cases, let Apple trick out the next Watch with way more than this one has, and fix the bugs the testers

See, it’s about choice again. Yet choices force you to other choices. Like chess. If you make a move, you’re forced to make another one, and that’s where it cascades into having to make a lot more purchases than you initially thought of. A house is the biggest avalanche of custs one can decide
