Do you know many people who have Apple Watch?

[robertk328]

I havent seen any one with an apple watch nor do I know anyone with one. It stinks because I want tontry the digital touch feature but i dont know any one with the watch!

No Apple Store nearby?

I know a few. I had one until I decided to return it. No knock against the watch, but I needed to replace my tablet and returning the watch offset the cost by $349. Maybe I'll get lucky and win one.

None in my friends contacts have. The only one I know off is my client whom I can send a heartbeat or those doodles. Miss someone to be able to send one

We welcome users of all opinions, not just the ones that match our own.

Maybe you misunderstood my question. I just wanted to know why a person would want to be in a forum group for something they don't like. I would never dream of joining a forum for - say, a Samsung phone - simply because I don't have one, don't want one, and know nothing about them. And I certainly don't have anything against opinions other than my own! :biggrin:

Fair enough. I think it's pretty common actually. I stay up to date with Android's offerings, and even post in Android Central every once in a while. I wouldn't consider buying one of their products either.

I'm starting to see more and more people with a  watch, maybe it's because I'm actually looking for it now or more people are buying them.

I don't know anyone who owns one. To the best of my knowledge, I've only ever seen one in the wild. That said, I haven't really been looking for them either. For all I know they're under everybody's winter coat sleeves, and they'll be everywhere this summer!

Maybe.

Every podcaster I listen to seems to own one, so if that's Apple's target demo, the market could already be saturated,

As for myself, nobody's yet make a convincing case for why I should get one. Plus they're ugly as sin.

I love the design but everybody has different tastes. It's hard to make an argument that everyone should buy an watch because it's a watch, and not a cheap one. I wear my watch constantly but I'm a watch guy and I appreciate the additional functionality. My wife hates wearing a watch so I wouldn't even consider getting her an watch.
I love my watch but I don't feel like a need it. I NEED my iPhone. That's the difference IMO. Maybe watch just isn't for you! (and that's perfectly okay, I should add)
As far as target demographics, Apple is marketing to anyone who likes watches and maybe wants some additional functionality, whether it be notifications, fitness monitoring, or any other additional benefits not present in traditional watches. It's a wide range, which is why watch costs anywhere between a few hundreds dollars and several thousands of dollars.
The market is nowhere near saturated. Tech bloggers all have them partially because it's their job to know about the products they talk about.

Only one. My son.

I'm going to pay more attention, seems I should see more out there.

We have more in common than I thought!

She always says "You don't need a watch, you have a phone."

But she'll ask me what time it is, when her phone's in her pocket or purse!

 

[Ariza16]

i know about 4 people that have one in my area including myself. once in a while i see a person with one at store.

 

[RobtRoma]

I don't know anyone else with one and I very rarely see them outside my own wrist. Might be because it's winter and people are wearing jackets that cover them up. It's still fun to see peoples faces when I pay with my watch.

 

[ccard3dev]

I know about 10-15 people (maybe more) with Apple Watches at my High School

 

[brianminor]

I know a good amount of people that own one, but sadly haven't talked my wife into one just yet.

 

[MooMooPrincess]

I see a person at chickfila with an apple watch! My first one

 

[PenguinOnStilts]

I know a smattering of people who have it. It's not quite ubiquitous around here yet, but at the same time, people don't seem too "hey! is that an Apple Watch/iWatch?" anymore... (which is actually a good thing, in my opinion. I'm just trying to eat my reuben over here.)

 

[Jean Sagarese]

there are 4 in my office including mine and 3 others one building over

 

[Sophos]

I know 3 people with Apple watches....my gf and two of her friends. Haven't met any guys with one yet.
