Quite a bit more. Watch pricing is insane.

I agree. Decent watches cost money. I think the large sport is probably worth a punt at £339, certainly cheaper than the £1800 I spent on a watch in December!

I thought it was circular!? When did they ditch that?

Is it just me who doesn't even wear a watch these days and hasn't for years?

I kind of kept it up for a while but at the end of the day they're to tell the time with, and everyone has a phone with them these days, and they're also pretty good at telling the time. (The last time the battery in my watch went flat I didn't bother getting it replaced, it's still sat on a shelf upstairs.)

I know some people do them for 'fashion' or something, but meh to them.

And then these new 'smartwatches' won't do anything that a phone can't already do, except they're wrist-based rather than pocket-based. And smaller. And stupidly expensive.

It's easier to look at my wrist than to get my phone out. But then, my watch cost £15

The Macbook is interesting - I'm curious to see how well it shifts heat with no fan. Also it's so thin! I'm beginning to wonder if there's such a thing as too thin.

'Quick Draw Craster'

Decent watches cost a lot, that's true. However they are mechanical objects, built with precision and craftsmanship, and don't go out of date in a year, and have an established market that all agrees that the prices are "reasonable".

The apple watch is fucking expensive for a digital watch with limited resale market value

It seems really unlikely Apple would comes out with something like that so I'm genuinely assuming I'm missing a trick here?

As I alluded to above, the target demographic for the super-light laptops tends to be non-power users with very light requirements. The VC's Air (a late 2013 model if memory serves) has never seemed slow, per se, but he doesn't really do anything with it. Reading PDFs is about as demanding as it gets.

At this point they're almost an iPad with a keyboard.

Your right on that point! Maybe there will be a 12 inch Ipad out this year?

Anyone else notice how it took a FUCKING HEART ATTACK to make Zardoz spend time hanging around on Beex?

So what iWatch model are you all chipping in for me?

The ten grand one. I've put in 2p.

You always do...

A smart watch isn't a watch.

I don't like the idea of my watch having the same poor battery life as my phone or Ipod. I shouldn't have to charge it every other day.

If you just want a watch that tells the time then stick with a dumb watch.

I can find north with it too.

I don't like the idea of my watch having the same poor battery life as my phone or Ipod. I shouldn't have to charge it every other day.

Are those motos people on here bought mostly just sat in drawers yet?

taking it on and off every night to put it on charge seems pretty shite.

To be honest it's been about fifteen years since I wore one so I can't actually remember. I reckon I probably could though.

Use mine everyday and wouldn't want to be without it.

I just wander about until people start saying 'Winter is coming'.

Having some sort of wireless (between device and charger, I mean) charging plate would be my ideal, although I guess induction charging isn't viable.

Trooper: Do you turn the screen off on yours each night? I find it far too bright if I don't.

Nah, but i'm used an alarm clock with a bright LED display on it, the watch is no brighter than that.

Are you getting any screen burn? The "Moto" logo seems to be a culprit.
