Only way is to try one. I wasn't but I got it as an impulse buy - it's new, it's tech and I wanted a watch.
Turns out its actually quite handy!
I have a pebble and in all honesty its about as in depth as I want to go. I already spend far too long with devices attached to me, this wouldn't go down well. There are times when I just don't want to be told I have an SMS etc.

I bought a Pebble - I used it for a week - was good - now back in box - now wearing my real watches as they are the real thing

The apple watch I like is £1000 - apple can go fek themselves

Anyone worked out how to change the battery yet once it's life is drained after 12 months of twice a day charging and being also damaged by the extra heat absorbed from being close to the body?

You give it back to Apple and they make you bend over - again - for putting in a new one at only 800 % profit to them this time instead of the original 1000 % profit.

Not far off. New macbook batteries work out to be around 8-12% of the purchase price

There's no doubt the Apple kit feels well made though, but they really do take the urine with their pricing structures.

Ehhh, I'm not so sure any more. In the past, yes, but nowadays I think their quality has gone down hill lately - hardware wise, and software wise. Yosemite is loaded with bugs, yet when I first got my iMac with Leopard, I never had an issue with anything

Most interesting announcement of the day, Microsoft are working on a ROM that overwrites an Android ROM and turns an Android handset into a new Windows 10 one.

£760 :-| :eek:
Yup its expensive - i am going to wait a couple of months. But its getting some dam good reviews.

"Galaxy S6 tramples its rivals. If you’re feeling really flush and want to show off, the S6 Edge is that bit snazzier, but otherwise the ‘flat’ Galaxy S6 is the best phone in the world right now - and it’s hard to imagine a rival matching it any time soon."

A lot of sites are saying avoid the update due to some glaringly massive memory leaks.
5.0 has a massive memory leak. 5.1 fixes it but introduces a smaller one
According to some of the blogs from places like Android Pit 5.1 is actually as bad as 5.0
