Yesterday, Apple unveiled the Apple Watch, a $349 to $10,000 piece of consumer tech that promises to hold immense music libraries and helpful apps all on a person’s wrist. Naturally, Twitter was abuzz:
Some skepticism about the watch’s potential success…
I'd be surprised of the #AppleWatch took off. Similar watches have been out for years and haven't exactly taken over. Releases 04/24/2015

Exciting to see this #AppleWatch news today because I can't wait to have this piece of anger-inducing failure jewelry in my life.

Some pokes at the Apple Watch’s need for daily recharging…
Tired of replacing your wristwatch battery once every 3 years? Get #AppleWatch and enjoy charging it every 18 hours! #AppleLive

The #AppleWatch "may be pretty… but you are going to need up to 8 of them to make it through a full day". Classic! via @zerohedge

And people wearing obvious Apple Watch knock-offs…
And someone who’s already tired of said knock-offs…
Can't decide what's worse, the awful design/price of the #AppleWatch or the numerous awful jokes I've seen about a watch made of an Apple.

And a small worry about the watch’s non-stop heat…
A reminder of things you shouldn’t do while wearing the Apple Watch…

What the watch will actually be used for…
And how that might be a problem…
It's gonna be tricky watching porn on my Apple watch when it's on the same arm I jerk off with.
Challenge accepted.

The extra perks that come with the high-end model…
What else the watch is good for…
We should be thanking Apple for launching the $10,000 "apple watch" as the new gold standard in douchebag detection.

And alternatives to buying the $10,000 model…
Trying to decide if I want to buy a premium #AppleWatch, or 10 new MacBooks. Thoughts?

And an important reminder that this technology has been around since FOREVER…
