Does anyone have one?  Thoughts?  I'm tempted to buy one.  My 6 year old pulsar just bit the dust.  Warranty is up, and the shop I was getting it repaired at closed.  For what it cost, it looks like I can buy the apple watch.  I'm a big apple fan, but not sure on the watch.  What say the watch people?

Took mine back the day after I bought it. Not worth the money.

I just cant see spending $400+ for a piece of jewelry that will be outdated in a year.

I ordered the Sport Watch from Apple, wore it around the house for about 30 minutes, boxed it up, and requested an RMA. I love Apple products (iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, MacBooks, Apple routers etc) but I didn't like the feel or function of the Apple Watch and REALLY wanted to. Maybe if I would have sprung for the heavier stainless steel model, but I did not like what I ended up with. Right now it is more of a gimmick and I couldn't see a real use for it. Maybe I will get an Apple Watch 2!

Got one from my employer. Pretty cool but even having one I still wouldn't have bought one.  I much prefer my Pathfinder.

Still is pretty cool though. I do wear it during the workweek.

I don't have one myself but I know a few people who do.  None of them are saying how great the watch is.  They're all gloating about how cool they think it makes them look.

That pretty much says it all, I think.

The latest rage at work is Smart Watches. I've yet to see one that looks anything but ridiculous. Functional? Perhaps, but I have enough things I need to plug in every night without worrying about removing my watch.

I have one and enjoy it. Is it super awesome? Probably not. Do I enjoy it? Yes and that is all that matters.

Likes?  I like the notifications of appointments and texts being at my wrist. I also like being able to schedule things via Siri without taking the phone out of my pocket, doing quick replies to texts is nice.

The Turn by turn directions with the maps is pretty cool too.  Don't forget Apple Pay - I use that wherever I can.

Other than that I use it as a watch mainly.  The last watch I purchased before this I paid about $2500 for and it only told time.
