Do you know many people who have Apple Watch?

I know only one person who has the Apple watch. I think the price is still prohibitive for a lot of people. Too bad they don't know what they're missing. :biggrin:

I think it's because not many people actually have an iPhone and the price and seeing that its pretty horrible...unless you have an idevice is probably the issue

For months, I didn't see anyone else with an Watch in my area, but now I've seen quite a few people with them, but still not even close to the amount of people I see with an iPhone.

Same here but now I know four people personally who have one and then I've see a few out and about each day.

Just people here and at the Apple Store. At my son's school last week I saw another parent (a mom) had a rose gold :)

I have several friends, family members, colleagues, and clients with Apple Watches.
Your question is very intriguing, especially since the responses I'm seeing so far show that most users only know a small number of people with Apple Watches.

I know 3-4 people who have one. But I was in Michigan for work this week and was with about 70 people and easily 1/3 of them had apple watches. I was surprised.

Only those in the forums. I don't personally know anyone local here who has one.

I don't really know that many people who have smartwatches in general let alone Apple Watches.

Where in MI were you? I live in Michigan and see people with Apple Watches all of the time.

I'm far from rich and both my husband and I have one. At work I have 3 friends that have it as well.

I also know several colleagues of mine have the AW including myself. It's really a marvellous little device to compliment your iPhone.

Where I live I don't think I've ever seen anyone else with one but almost everyone has a FitBit.

I know a couple people who own them. I personally would never own one unless given to me. I do not see the value in one. But that's just me. :)

My mother bought me it as a gift, it was $350 for the 42mm Sport version, I got the Grey color. I think for $300-400 it's hard to beat. Most decent watches cost that much, so why not pay for something that can do that much and so much more? It's more of a novelty but it has made me more productive and professional in tremendous ways.
