Would you wear the iWatch?
Rumor and speculation passing through out the internet has revealed that Apple might be in the process of developing an iWatch. A watch made by Apple. The details released thus far about the iWatch are quite vague. The iWatch is claimed to have curved, flexible glass, a feature which can monitor heart rate, applications such as maps, voice control, and wireless integration with the iPhone.
Apple supposedly has a group of 100 individuals working on the iWatch. This team is working on design, which means Apple has already tested it. This means it might be closed to production and distribution.
Sources such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have suggested that the age of wearable technology is near. Smart phones and tablets were not fads like they are now before Apple stepped in. Apple might just do it again. The only question is, would our society accept wearable technology such as the iWatch? Would people buy the iWatch and actually wear it? Or could it be less prosperous than the iPhone or iPad? It might just start a whole other trend. Or it might be one of the first of Apple's products to be thrown into oblivion.
I wrote this for Journalism, and didn't feel like typing anything else. I thought it would be a good text filler.

Apple need a new "thing", they haven't had one since the iPad and that came out a fair while ago. They seem to have lost a lot of their spark and focus since Steve Jobs died, all of their recent endeavours just seem to fall flat. Just take a look at the Final Cut fiasco, and even the new iTunes interface. Horrid work.

No. For one, any watch I am allowed to wear needs to be black and be able to take a beating. That definitely wouldn't work here. Secondly, it sounds like a phone that can't make calls.

I'm interested to see it in actuality, and especially glad to see Corning's Willow Glass being used in a product.

Not a chance. I have a phone that can do all of those things(minus monitor heart rate, which I have fingers and a brain for). Why would I need one?

Edited by Cheat: 2/14/2013 9:05:12 PMI probably wouldn't wear it, as I tend to bang my regular watch on door frames and counter tops already. I would probably break it within a year of wearing it. Not to mention it will probably fry if it gets caught under running water.

It will be the best watch on the market, so of course.

1 ReplyWhen people start wearing iWatches connected to their iPhones the thieves and muggers of the world are going to rejoice. Plus I'd rather not look like such a complete tool.
