Thanks to my fistula I don't have to buy an Apple Watch today...  Since I have a left wrist fistula I no longer wear a watch.  If I didn't I probably would be ordering an Apple Watch.

It's not my fistula but my eye sight.  I have enough problems seeing my iPad Air I don't think I could read a watch.  In fact if they release a 12 inch iPad I will upgrade so I have a larger screen.

Yes these screens are not the best for aging eyes. My wife is starting to need glasses for the mini.

The assumption is the the apple watch will work well and contain well thought out technology as compared to other companies that rush underwhelming products out the door.

I will be getting an Apple Watch, but not until the next generation so the first bugs can be worked out.

Riki, nothing compares to the integration of the Apple platform. I bought the first Macintosh sold in my county in 1984. That machine still runs!!! Of course, it only had 128K, yes, 128K of memory, so it can't handle today's demands!!!!

Thirty plus years later I'm still very happy with all my Apple products.
