French Apple website iGen.fr is reporting [Google Translate] that pricing for the stainless steel Apple Watch may start at $500, while the gold Apple Watches' pricing could start between $4,000 and $5,000. iGen.fr has been reliable in the past, most recently reporting the dimensions of both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

So the $350 starting price that Apple announced in the Keynote is for the Aluminum model I guess. I just don't see myself buying one. There is too much information overload and too many distractions already in life. Now you want another one attached permanently to your wrist? That's why I think fitness trackers will always have a market for people who don't want notifications interrupting them all day, but can still gather valuable data to monitor your health and fitness.

I don't see much use for it now either.

However I have no doubt I'll be standing in the early lines to buy one

Sooo 500? Geez

Didn't everyone on this board complain about techwear before? But now that Apple makes theirs and jacks up a price, everyone is excited?

Notifications can be turned off.

When we get around to making watches that look like the mock ups people have done, and they're compatible with a lot of different devices, then I might get interested.

Why would anyone ever want an iPad? I already own a desktop and a laptop. It's a tweener device that is the worst of both worlds and the best of neither...

I'd like one of these, but I'll be in wait and see mode.

I don't think they are at all, at least not anytime soon, and Ive is crazy if he thinks they are.

On the other hand sooner or later everyone is going to have some brand of smart watch, and the Swiss etc. have to be nervous about that. There's only room for one on your wrist.

I think it's a pretty good looking $350 watch as they go. Not my favorite but not bad.

Short. Small hands. Short arms. Big Johnson to make up for it.
