    There's a couple of places in town where you can watch repairs. Not sure what they're repairing as I've never been in, but I would imagine it would be quite interesting if they're repairing something cool like a robot or a space ship. Less so if it's a pair of trousers.

    That would be great, especially considering the average Apple fan creates A LOT of kinetic energy from the wrist area...

    Mine was cheaper - it's only got a single core processor...

    With hindsight, the corner watch would have been even better if it was "Set Piece Watch". The second and third goals last Saturday were the first open-play goals for ages, or that's how it seems to me.

    18 hour battery life - sounds great! I'll stick with the watch I have.

    I suppose it depends who the trousers belong to and if she's wearing them during the repair.

    At least you'd be able to count the hours until charge time accurately.

    It's a load of ****. Initial sales will be good because it will be bought by all the idiots who would buy a turd wrapped in tinfoil if it had an apple logo on it. They will take it to the pub to show off to their mates only to be told they look like a ***** pressing their wrist to their ear to try and have a conversation.

    After the first few months it will die a slow death because having to charge your watch every few hours is ridiculously stupid and inconvenient. I have to wind my watch every few days, it only takes a few seconds but it still gets on my tits. I can't imagine having to put it on charge once a day.

    I've got a Suunto GPS watch which I use for skiing, walking, camping etc. It's rechargeable via a USB interface. The battery lasts about 2 months, when used as a normal watch (including using the alarm, altimeter, compass etc). Using GPA in hiking mode it will last about 5 days, in skiing mode (which takes measurements more often) about 3 days.

    A battery time of 18 hours in a watch is about as much use as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest. And it takes too long to charge up. However, since it's an Apple product, I automatically think it's really brilliant as over the years they have programmed me not to find anything wrong with their products.
