Taiwan is getting its' first Apple Store.

Well, fundamentally it is a a fancy unpractical gadget... Why do you need a costly watch to do in a different and reduced - more than enhanced way - what you already have been doing for quite a while with your phone? It does not add virtually anything to your everyday life. You still gonna need your phone and internet line and a computer before that. And the phone is already small enough to type, read, and do things... I have my doubts it will survive the hype.

i needed a new watch for running to replace my old chunky Garmin watch. Got the new Vivoactive for the equivalent of about 11,000 yen during a Black Friday sale. Lasts for a week without a need for recharge, more if I don't use GPS during my runs. Linked to my phone so I can get email notifications (phone usually on silent mode). No need for Apple.

Smartwatches (not the sports-only variants) make sense in the business field. As for Apple, it makes as huge mistake: its updates are yearly. It should speed up the updates for both hardware and software, for Apple Watch.

Nah, I will never buy smartwatch, there is no point in this kind of gadget for me. Until they make a 3d holographic screens for them :)
