Clever, no? Not really but I’ve had a few beers and that sounds clever enough.

Let’s get to the unboxing:

 

Smells like Tennessee, because it is fresh from Mount Juliet, TN. Land of Jack Daniels that cannot be drank at the factory where it is produced. I wonder if Apple would let you eat the watch?

Truth be told, I cheated a bit and synced it up already. Sync process was easy. Easy like taking a picture of your check to deposit it in the bank since we all abhor human contact, reminds me of something…

 

Can’t think of what though… Anyway, so far not too bad but not too impressive. Here is a size comparison with a less smart wrist device.

Rookie mistake the normal watch band wasn’t made for my apparently giant wrists.

 

For the record I use the large band for the Fitbit and have made my way to the 5th and 6th rung from the end. I take my steps more serious than any Step Up 2 Tha Streets sequel, prequel or whatever.

So, what’s the deal with how this thing charges?

You guessed it, a proprietary charger that demands the 3rd party market GTFO. I was kind of hoping the thing might try and talk to me like the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

So can Apple make wearing something, we’ve tried so desperately to claw off of wrists for the past 10 years, cool? That’s a tough verdict, I like the promise of Smart Watches. Go ahead and be cynical but tell me this wasn’t your jam when you were a wee thumb sucker.

Who wouldn’t want their swatch to do some awesome stuff? Bottom line, I don’t know that I’d buy too hard into the S(mart)Watch market as of yet. Not on her majesty’s secret service.
