I tell my husband all the time 10 years from now we'll be able to answer our phones by cupping our hands up to our ears and saying hello. lol. I think I would buy an Apple watch because when I got my first Mac, I said to the Apple genius I'm part of the cult now. To which he replied with a straight face, "welcome".

Yup! Plus the way they market thier products makes you want one so bad!! 

I went to a tech event here in Tucson recently where they said it is estimated by 2020 corprate employees will have on average 6 network connected devices attached to them. In real estate I think they are already  at 6!

Absolutey!  I say yes to the iwatch because I am an apple user.  Now, if I owned a Samsung or other brand of smartphone I would certainly buy a smart watch that pairs with that phone.  Be the agent that is current and moving with the times.  I recall using my ipad when it hit the market in my lectures/seminars for note taking, etc. and people would look at me as if I was strange with this odd device.  Now?  Who doesn't have an ipad?  Sure, many people still don't own one but it sure makes life in real estate easier.  Same with the iphone.  The watch is a very sweet device that will range in price from $350-$15K.  With the watch you can elimanate the tackiness of taking out your devices to constantly check notifications.  Additionally, with it's ability to measure how much you stand, move and exercise, it's a great tool to encourage health not to mention you can play your music with it while you go on a run.  Once on the market, I'll bet it will be a matter of time before you can purchase interchangable bands from third party vendors (just a guess).  The watches are classy and offer versitility.  And yes, this watch will certaninly have kinks to workout but I can't wait to get mine.  Sorry for the book, just surpised at all the no's.

Hi Inna - I started wearing a watch when I was five years old and continuously wore one until about ten years ago.  Now it's occasionally and I'm not a likely candidate but am interested in seeing sales results.

Inna, I would not.  I just don't wear watches or rings, but I will follow the capabilities and who knows?  It would be easier than toting a mobile phone around, so I will keep an open mind.

I am tempted by it but not this year - I will wait for them to perfect it a little more. We all say we don't need this or that, but then Apple comes a calling and there we all go!

What is interesting, Apple made a research and they  believe that would be able to go around 25 million and 50 million unit sales for the watch! Read here.

Seems, this new toy is mostly for young professionals or rich kids.

I don't care about Apple watch as well. If I would plan to spend 10k for a watch, it would not be this one. I would go with something very old school:)
