Now it's just another company releasing everything that other companies are manufacturing. The visionary Steve Jobs is dead so all they are doing is living off the last shown direction by him and without any innovation.

                Of course the battery life would be short for this one. Then they will bring the second version next year with slightly better life, give it a cool name like iBatteryLife and then release it as a feature.

                                Apple should increase the size of AppleWatch to be 3.5".
                                So that you only need 1 device to do all the tasks!

                                  islanders, 11 Sep 2014DAILY CHARGING ? and they call it watch ?????? Oh yay, My watch may not be the most fancy but at least it does what it supposed to do. And my battery lasts over a year, and its water resistant to 100m, Takes all the knocks and bangs you can throw at it. I rarely leaves my wrist. Can those fancy watches to that. I think not.

                                    Daily charging wow, but notice it was claimed to last a day, the vague response means that it WON'T be a day

                                    So as Apple have gone into smartwatches and patented various names, will it incur the wrath of Apple if I name my various timepieces
                                    Watch; stopwatch; clock, grandfather clock as follows

                                    iGlance, iLook,iSpy,iStalk
                                    thanks

                                    Anybody can I use it whilst it is on charge ?

                                      All watch company should sue apple for using 'watch' as a name. Oh wait ... They already patented it 2 yrs ago before launch :)
