#2I wonder how many of their Blackberry watch they sold. More than this 10,000 preorders?

#3I'd love the idea, except that I don't want to recharge my watch like a cell phone. I'm used to my watch lasting years without changing the battery.
But if I can program my own custom watch face with a button that turns off the Bluetooth, thus extending the battery life ...

Isn't that (part of) why it's got an eink display?

Just plug it in when you take it off at night. That step can't be that inconvenient, can it?

#9How does this compare to the Sony Ericsson Liveview? Other than this being more expensive and only having a monochrome display?
