    What was once a company that pushed technological bounds for the consumer is now just a fashion accessory company...

    Stock has been good to me though.

    6 months ago, we (they) needed to make a smart phone with a much bigger screen, now they need to make a tiny smart-device. WTF Apple? Make up your mind. Thanks but no thanks. I like my iPhone 5, but have zero interest in this stupid thing.

    I don't think you understand what this device is. The screen size of the iPhone 6 has nothing to do with the watch.

    Why do you need a smart watch? To keep from taking your phone out of your pocket? lmao. Why would anyone want to look at anything on a tiny display when we all have large HD phones. It's not like these watches work independent of a phone. They need to be close to each other to work. Waste of money IMO.

    I understand what it is and that most of it's functions are a slave to the master phone. But I just find it odd how everything Apple has made lately has been too small or too big in Apple's mind, if you consider where they going today.

    But Apple has nearly perfected voice recognition with this "watch", and this will affect and improve future smart-phones and in-vehicle operations.
