My wife ordered one, upgrading from her first gen model. The single biggest reason is GPS tracking while running without being forced to carry her iPhone 6S Plus. And the (much) improved battery life over her first gen model. She ordered the Series 3 with cellular, just in case it becomes affordable. But boy do we both agree that this red dot looks ugly. As Gruber mentions, we also worry that it won't work well with…

There is a company which sells alternative color accents for the digital crown and button. http://watchdots.com They are just stickers, but apparently they last well.

Thank you so much for this link! I'm sure my wife is going to order one soon :-)

I am still waiting on the report of W2 and Intel Modem. The first one i am hoping someday Apple will make their own 802.11ax WiFi Chipset for Router / Apple TV / Mac and iPhone. The latter because I am not aware of any Intel Modem that can be fitted inside a Apple Watch. It shows Intel aren't really far off in Modem space compared to Qualcomm if true.

You could share it by talking about it.

I was being sarcastic. Should have put a `/s` on there I guess.

I put in the comment and I then I thought you probably were :).

Or just look over at the alarm clock.

Is your watch not your alarm clock? Because that's a super convenient feature, whether you wear it to bed or put it on a nightstand. Plus, one less set of glaring LEDs in the room.

No, the watch is charging in another room. Its just some red led's too, not glaring at all.
