That Watch

The Causeway Bay Apple store has two floors selling watches. Apple clearly thinks it has a winner.

I enjoyed leaving it as a jellyfish watch face.

Clever linked iPad which explains what’s going on and how to navigate.

I can see why there is a learning curve: there’s no consistent back or home gesture. Things behave differently in different apps as well.

Very interesting, though.

Didn’t buy one yet?

They go on sale at 15:01 our time, so wasn’t possible in my lunch break…

Or this thing called ecommerce?

I am always interested in how a brand that shifts so much stuff online relies / leverages the in-store experience (and queue pictures) so effectively

And they not waterproof! With a garmin you can use for cycling, running & SWIMMING. iWatch you need to carry iPhone, it’s more expensive and you can’t use for swimming.
