Hi. At the risk of sounding like a me too message, I must fully agree
with Rick's reasons for getting an Apple Watch. However what I'm going
to do is wait for my birthday in July. This will accomplish two things.
1, I'll see how it trends, problems and solutions people have. 2, it
will give people time to consider pulling together for that cool
birthday gift since I'll be 42, and as we all know, that's the answer to
life, the universe, and everything. *smile*.

Hi Mary.
I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is
both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a
watch.
Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch.
1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol)
2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time
a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist.
3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the
watch again without having to fumble for my phone.
4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me.
After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some
other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of
convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things
that appeal to me might be a turn off for others.
My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that
could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!
Some of the functionality coming with the Apple watch I was actually getting
with the BEM speaker band but alas it isn't a watch.
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro

Hi Rick,
As I said in a different thread, I won't be ordering an Apple Watch. However, I
would be very interested to know why you are. Do you now use a braille watch?
Just curious. I can't imagine not having a braille watch, it's so convenient
for what it is. And I also I'm just not seeing any upside to having to watch
the Apple one that is. So, I do respect your opinion and your tech savvy, so
would love to know why you are going to be up at 3 AM to place your order. Good
luck with it.

Pre-ordering begins on April 10th at 12:01pdt, 03:01EDT. I'm curious how
many of you will be ordering 1. I have a feeling that not many are for
various reasons. If you are, which model? Anyone ordering the $10,000
version? (lol)
I actually will be one of the suckers up at 3am placing my order for the
Sport model with a black band.
Anyone else?
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro
