Read between the lines.
The guy "won" and Apple "lost" because Apple won't have spent £000's instructing a team of lawyers to defend an action that would only have cost them a few quid.
Undefended claims automatically go through as "won" irrespective of how meritorious the claim actually is.
Its a matter of process.

So you think he did the right thing, that the judgement is correct? Don't think this only affects Apple, they're not the first to state that something is resistant and now there's precedent. Idiots like this affect us all.

You need a Suunto if you want to ride underwater.
I can't wait for WatchOS 3, the accuracy of tracking without GPS is quite frankly amazing, and of course doesn't need to see the sky.

All my straps are non- apple and well pleased with them. Right now I am sporting a space grey milanese loop ( got it months before apple released theirs ) and only £28. Does everything the apple branded ones do.
Next one will be a nomad one , maybe a xmas present.
As far as I am concerned , let apple do the watch and let me buy third party straps. works for me

I'm still on my release day Black Band only very slight indications of wear. I'm tempted by another but I can live with this one for another year or two.
Got to say WatchOS 3 was a surprise to me, like a lot of people I was expecting a new watch before such a huge refresh, like Garmin.
Good work Apple.

If they had done, I only wanted one watch face and that was the swiss railway clock. oh and maybe the classic flip down clock. Now those two would be cool.
I think the release of the watchOS will coincidence with Watch 2, my guess.

Just shows how much of a rip off these are, they're advertised for £420 here https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/spor...rod137024.html and you better be running fast if you're wearing a watch that looks like that.
Looks like my old Casio G-Shock. I loved that watch but that was when I was 10

WatchOS 3 is certainly a step in the right direction. My only regret is they did not open up the watch face api to third party as I think that would have been perfect timing. I know the whole end to end experience is what apple tightly controls but in reality if they did, most people would try different ones and then revert back to the apple ones as they are ultimately more polished.

The simple watch face without numbers is close to the Swiss Clock. I don't think they'll ever open up watch faces, biggest seller on the app store would be this.
