wow New Apple Watch Hype

I have read a few articles about the new Apple Watch due for formal release in the next few days. The "gotta have the latest and greatest high-tech gizmo" folks are chomping at the bit.

The watches will range from $349 to $17,000. That's right, $17,000, depending on manufacturing materials and options.

I am not high-tech enough to want more than a dial tone on my cell phone or correct time on my $30 Timex.

I have given this some thought and I believe the new Apple Watch will spark an increase in muggings and theft. Young men have been savagely attacked and robbed of their $150 sneakers.

If I had a watch like that, I would certainly not show it off and be careful where I walked. The possibility of grabbing a watch possibly worth thousands of dollars might be too much of a temptation to keep the ne'er do-wells away.

I agree, all I want my watch to do is show me what time it is and my cell phone to allow me to make calls.

The fictional "two-way wrist radio" of the old Dick Tracy cartoons has finally become a reality.

I agree as well. I do find it interesting that this may bring a renewed interest in wrist watches. Since cell phones seem too have eliminated their need.
