Breathless Apple Watch hype thread

I got a SS BSB (stainless steel Apple Watch with a black sports band) yeah, more $ than brains, I know...

I really like it, have had an LG G Watch, Pebble, Pebble Steel, and have a Pebble Time Steel coming from kickstarter.

Was ready to sell it till I got my brokerage's app installed, and I was hooked, the screen is significantly better than other watches, and the functionality will only get better as updates roll out.

Just got a couple bands, SS link Monowear, and Milanese loop too. The SS link looks great.

Anyway, if we could keep the drama to a minimum, and maybe use this thread as a resource, it'd be great.

If you don't like, see the purpose of, hate on the price, maybe hold your tongue and post in another thread please?

I'm still waiting for my space gray sport with black sports band that I ordered on April 11th.

Has your watch shown up yet?

I've gotten 4 3rd party bands, just got a 5 bead HOCO stainless steel, straight from China, for $38 it's pretty nice.

38mm or 42mm?

what's the consensus?

 

[Artdeco]

42 mm for me, am very happy with it, looks great, notifications are good, 3rd party apps are too slow.

I got the same watch as the OP and like it. I made the mistake of loading the 2.0 beta on it and now it's kind of a paperweight as pretty much nothing works. Hopefully we see b2 coming out soon as I miss the functionality.

I had zero interest in an Apple Watch until I found out it has the same chip as the iPhone 4S. That would make a badass toy.

After the honeymoon phase is over, how are you guys actually liking the watch? Worth the money?

 

[Artdeco]

I still like it, won't go back to a Pebble.

Looking forward to watch OS 2
