You probably spend enough time in department stores to know where everything on your shopping list is, most Apple users or iWankers to you have better things to do.

Just to clarify, I hear that you have to tether the iWatch to your iPhone if you want to use internet services, i.e. it has no built in capability. Is this correct?

Correct. It does not contain a sim. It does contain a wifi chip that means you can be out of bluetooth range of you phone, unlike android wear.

My android watch works without a phone. It can make calls, use the internet, gps, connect via bluetooth, wifi All without the need to be connected to a second device

Oh and it will also last a great deal longer than 3 hrs.

Still aren't that useful whether a full function android or low feature iwatch

Going to invent an iWatch app to tell users how many calories they are burning while wanking.

This time next year I'll be a billionaire

It's not Android Wear though is it, it's some cut down version of Android that was never meant to be on a watch, I have no doubt it's a monstrosity and am not surprised in the slightest that it's of little use to you as it's unsupported. Imagine going to an airline and asking them to integrate a version of Android that you'd knocked up or found lying around the internet. You should have bought a Pebble.

No it runs jellybean version of Android. Looks similar to your iwatch. You know, strap and display

It has support, just download apps from google play store.

I was close. Not saying a whole phone on your wrist is a bad thing, there are benefits obviously, but if you're running full apps they're going to want you to type, then you'll hate it.

I use flesky keyboard but use voice commands for dictating and sending texts you can launch apps, make calls by the voice control and search the Internet. It's not perfect, makes it passable. I use my watch for emergency use when cycling, it easier than carrying a mobile phone.

After several months of use it doesn't really do it for me and I believe most other people who buy one of these watches will find the same.

That's the difference between Android users and i-******* - Android users know when they are wrong, aren't afraid to admit it and haven't spunked >£500 to find out.

I've lost count of the number of pals who have i-devices and carp on about how great they are and how they "just work" followed by FB posts saying "my <insert i-**** device> has fcuked my <insert life dependent data> - can someone help.

And still they harp on about how great apple is. The odd one does see the light - but it's really quite rare

It's quite funny really .

This is awesome, we're back to 2007, the launch of the iPhone and a bunch of now quiet commentators saying Apple are wrong and they're right, it'll never catch on, we need a real keyboard, it's a fad, something you don't need, look at the size of it, the battery only lasts a day. Look in your pockets nay sayers, 99.9% of you will have what's essentially an iPhone in there.

I bet it doesn't but who does need two phones? I can't imagine having to carry around a keyboard because someone's trying to Skype me in Tesco. How do you look at the screen and type? That's why the Pebble and Apple Watch are great, they have their own UI and they're not a phone with a wrist strap.

Just a reminder that this was an Android phone before Google saw the iPhone.

Jack you are talking out of your **** - again. Google didn't make phones until they bought Motorola. There were many manufacturers that had very similar designs before the iPhone became known. LG and Samsung are two obvious ones. Eventually apple will lose most if not all their arguments against Samsung. There was no copying of apple. Apple mimic others and patented those ideas first. Prior art is going to prove the designs weren't the first and software patents were already being employed by others before apple.

You're in denial, we're taking about Android here are we not, Android phones, there were no Android phones in 2007 other than the one you see there. None of the others had anything more than a big screen.
