Jony Ive just stood up with the other Apple people here. I thought they didn't let him out of the bunker.
-
Given that you need an iPhone to use the Watch, I'm still not sure how mega a hit the Watch will be. But it's AWFULLy attractive.
-
I'm going to take my video guy to see the new MacBook at stuff, we'll have the shoot up later today!
-
We're going to be able to put our grimy little hands on all this stuff. Headed to the showroom now! Watch for pics.

Pogue is gonna hang out here and take questions from you guys.

Is the Apple Watch Water Resistant?
User123at 2:36 PMYes, it is. Sweating, wearing it in the rain, washing your hands, or cooking with it are fine. Take it off before you swim or get in the shower, though. -
I wonder if they took 50 and older eyes into account with the watch??? Also can you go running with out your phone??? That is the beauty of many of the other health bands.
Debraat 2:37 PMThe type size is about what you'd see on your phone. So: yes, reading glasses ON. -
For Apple pay, how will the watch know it is me the one paying with it? the phone requires fingerprint scan
Adanat 2:39 PMThat's a brilliant question! I'll find out at first opportunity. I'd be very cool if it knew its own from the pulse patterns and stuff...but for now, it's probably a matter of being within range of the owner's iPhone. -
Apple Watch connects to iPhone only. From Apple: "Apple Watch is compatible with iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus running the latest version of iOS 8."Can you use the iWatch without having an iPhone?
