The Apple Watch is pretty interesting. The Nike Fuelband came out a couple of years ago and it is a pretty good product for people who want to excursive and stay fit. I credit this product to help me get started to get out of bed earlier, job or bike, and draw attention to the slob I was becoming without it.

My Fuelband died somehow though and surprise, I'm getting sloppy.

So the new Apple iPhone takes over for this and seems to have alot more features than the fuelband and with better integration too, with the Fitness app and other apps.

But so what, ok, its a fitness monitor. Check out what else it can do. It's a remote control for your Apple TV. It's a remote viewfinder for your Camera. You can read an email on the watch and then hand it off to your iPhone 6, and its backward compatible with the iPhone 5's. It gets its power from inductive charging.

Oh and this is cool: The Apple Watch works with Apple Pay. Pay for things just by swiping your watch. Awesome!

Now granted, the sales pitch is tiring. Clearly they are talking and walking just like Steve Jobs did and YAWN it's dull now, and I think the price of the watch is pricey at $349, but so what I'm sure it will do well.

The iPhone 6 looks amazing too. 1920x1080 Resolution. 7.1mm thick. 64 Bit. A8 Chip. 1080p HD Video at 60FPS and 240FPS Slow Motion. Fingerprint security, blah blah.

Of course you can still prefer Android and thats fine, but anyone who thinks Apple is going down the tubes just has their head in the sand.
No one under 60 wants a watch. I don't care what it does.
