That watch looks like it's photoshopped onto his wrist. That or he just has very small wrists. (Which would be my problem for most smartwatches)

S5 tap'n
I was thinking it looked like something I'd jokingly post on this forum after a Picsay edit, something like my S cropped onto a photo of my 7 year olds arm back when I was anti smartwatch due to the girth of the Gear 1.

I'll have a hands on soon. My wife's decided to get one. Apple has pushed their employees to try them out and giving them a good discount. $176.00 out the door. So a good deal for it even though its apple.

She work at a store J? That's a pretty righteous discount. Should give folks a glimpse into what it costs Apple to make one. Less then $176.00.... wow.

Odd. Buddy at work who was told a JUNE ship time (no specific day) got his SHIPPED notice today. The day after he tried it on. Hmmmm. Connection? Thinking so.

No... She's an at home adviser for iTunes. But yeah... I was impressed.

They'll still sell a ton.
No ambient mode? You don't really need it or want it so they did owners the favor of eliminating their mistaken thinking that they want it. Like launchers. You don't really want a launcher on your iDevice. That's just gas from the salad being mistaken for a thought.

Check out his battery. Now, in fairness this is his first day with it. Of course, you will use a ton on day 1...but...but...I went a full day on my first full day.

The wife was laughing at this watch last night. She said it looked stupid. She's a huge iFan and commented that all smartwatches looked goofy.

I showed her the LG Urbane LTE and she asked me when I am getting one :)

I agree they look goofy on most modeled photos but they take models that don't weigh much more than the watch, complete with wrist the size of my thumb, and use that to show off the product. Granted it works great to show the device but in reality it'd be better not to have it on a human that weighs less than 100 pounds if they don't want it looking weird or ginormous.
My S looks like a normal sized sport watch on my wrist but I've got large arms and wrists. Dude I work with is getting an iwatch, already ordered it, and his biceps are about the size of my forearms. It's gonna look really silly on him,a normal Timex looks big on him.
