Some of our fans responded:
Gweko: ooops
Terence in Birmingham, Alabama: $350.00 up a wild hog’s arse if you ask me. Back in 1979 I remember paying about $250 for the first SEIKO that had a LCD display and I thought it was advanced for what I paid… and I worked maintenance for a mall in Indianapolis at the time… you’d think that Apple could produce a watch where the display would not crack by just a 3½ foot drop
Frank in Shreveport, Louisiana: Cheap chinese [poop]
Pat: Rubber wrist bands usually found on inexpensive sports watches. Interesting video, I wasn’t going to purchase one anyway.
Jorge in Miami, Florida: What do you expect from a company that never built a watch?
