Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:32:44 PMSo, the watch will be the same size as Series 2. Samsung Gear S3 had to get significantly larger, and so did Android Wear LTE watches.
-
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:32:54 PM
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:32:59 PMAlso no antenna in band, something some other watches did.
-

David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:33:40 PM
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:33:54 PMShe really is a team player.
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:33:55 PMOne kinda fun thing: this is a swim-friendly phone, essentially. No other LTE watch has been swimproof. (to my knowledge)
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:34:08 PMApple doesn’t reveal sales figures for the device, but Strategy Analytics estimated that the company shipped 2.8 million wearables in the first quarter, up 56 percent from a year earlier

Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:34:19 PMIf you're on a raft, alone, you'll be able to make wrist calls!

Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:34:23 PMWilliams: I'm going to go rogue for a minute.
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:34:51 PMHe says his daughter is out in the water, and notes the only mic is on her Apple Watch. That's just darn close to magic, he says.
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:35:05 PMOh so many obnoxious wrist calls on the subway coming...
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:35:16 PMMicrophone on-watch tuned to make calls better outdoors, it seems.
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:35:24 PMSeries 3 comes in a new gold aluminum finish, with silver and space gray. There's a new sport loop band.
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:35:27 PMSport Loop is a wrap-around nylon. No buckle.

David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:35:52 PM
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:35:54 PMSport Loop looks like a slap bracelet for Apple Watch!
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:35:54 PMThere are new colors on Apple Watch bands. New Hermes bands and watch face styles.
-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:36:09 PMApple's adding a gray ceramic finish Watch.
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:36:19 PMCeramic returns, in gray this time, for Series 3. Wonder what the price is.

David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:37:17 PM
-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:37:21 PMPrice creeps up a bit? $329 w/o LTE, $399 w LTE (for 38mm I imagine)

-
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:38:10 PMNot a huge pitch on why you want a phone on a watch, but the upsell price isn't huge.

-
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:38:47 PMWe have had a bunch of other cellular-connected smartwatches out there, but they haven't sold.
