I just don't understand how the watch is going to do anything with the battery life it supposedly has. 18 hours mixed use means it's gone in 8-10 hours during a normal work day. Everyone I know who has an iPhone (and to be fair many of the flagship Android phones too) is a complete slave to cords, battery extenders, etc.
But nothing new there, batteries have been the number one bottleneck on basically everything electronic these days.

I got a chance to see a few of them today, our Apple Business Team rep was coming in for something else and brought a few demo units.
It feels like a nice device, the nicest looking smartwatch I've seen so far (not saying much), and still not something that remotely interests me. He had a sport, one with the stainless links, and one with the milanese (sp?) band. Ironically I thought the sport was the nicest looking, it was the dark gray one with a black band. The band felt much nicer than most sport-type bands, if they keep improving the exercise monitoring stuff and decrease the size a bit it may be useful in a few revisions.
The more 'fashionable' bands were a complete miss for me, I can't see replacing my normal watches with a trumped up Casio.
All that being said, they supposedly hit 1m sales on the first day, and I wouldn't be shocked if they're past 2m by the weekend. Good time to own AAPL.

I still don't see the draw. Similar functionality to a Pebble 2nd gen and 1/10th the battery life. Still requires your phone for anything more than the basics, which, again, is the same as the Pebble.
I mean, sure, it's got an Apple logo on it, so that's an immediate buy for some people, but a lot of reviews are pegging the device as laggy and unresponsive at times. The 1st gen Pebble is pretty snappy, even if it is a bit basic by comparison.
