Iwatch

apple they know what we need before we do, up until now. My question was to be: is the Iwatch dive proof and if so to how many metres. However I have since found out I won't be able to even shower in it. How long before the Iwatch catches up with our needs?

Thank you Rudegar, no watch feedback yet but I sent my feedback via iPhone feedback. Love my apple products so the choice is not clear. Samsung have a waterproof watch but every computer, tablet, phone in the house is apple so hope they can develop a waterproof version soon

Well, the problem is I don't need a waterproof watch. So I would really resent Apple making a watch with the extra thickness and weight that a waterproof watch would require. If I did need a diving watch I would buy a watch designed for the purpose. The Apple Watch is designed for the average user, not for special situations. I'm sure there are enough average users to make the watch a success.

Please do, bother frequently. Ignore em, gotta be thick skinned if your gonna be an apple fan. :-)


Just a pointer though. Apple fans such as us are very dedicated to the technology that is provided. And while bot sides of the fence share shredded and somewhat oxymoron views; You can get a way with that on other forums because of the unfaithful base that is created, who want to newest fancy features.


Frankly, I think you bring up a good point. And in all honesty, apple has not released the Apple Watch as of yet, so the exact sepcs are not yet finalized.

Wow not the friendliest of communities is it. Sorry I voiced an opinion.

I Won't bother you again

Lawrence is also allowed to voice an opinion. The fact that he does not agree with you is not "unfriendly". It just means he doesn't share your opinion. When you post on any kind of public forum, you have to be prepared for people disagreeing with you.
