Doesn’t the watch also emit radiation?

Yes, but this way of ensconcing it reduces the radiation exposure since the device now likely won't be kept constantly in contact with the body.

That makes no sense. Phones and watches mostly use 4g and wifi band signals which both go through thin plastic shells and indeed your entire body without interference.

Oh look, carcinisation for Apple products. ipodisation: the tendency for non-iPod Apple products to evolve iPod-like features over time.

Implying apple products are not cancer on their own right.

Carcinisation is a term unrelated to cancer.

This looks amazing. I do wonder though, how long it'll last before Apple C&Ds it.

They might be able to C&D the name, but I doubt they'd do anything (or get anywhere if they tried) about the case.

The website is trade dress to the max. The average user would probably scroll through the page and assume this is an official product from Apple. Their logo is deceptively similar to Apple's, the name of the product is similar, the click wheel design is possibly infringing on some patent Apple owns.

I'd jump at this (or even just a straight Apple watch) to replace my phone if it didn't require an iPhone in order to use it (I currently use Android; seems a bit silly to buy an iPhone purely to enable a watch). Hoping they consider this use case eventually, and it's worth remembering that early ipods required a mac to use, and early iphones required a computer to set them up.

In my case, my wife has an iPhone, so I was able to setup an Apple Watch as my primary phone, while I do not have any phone other than my watch. So if you're on a family plan, maybe that's an option

I'm not getting a family just to get an apple watch, cmon ;)

I've long wanted a lanyard for my watch. Maybe they can add an eyelet (loop?) to the bottom of these cases.

So we are going full cycle? Pocket watches?

Pish posh! How dare you even insuate it.

Meanwhile, I am tired of my internal drives running out of space, and I don't trust the cloud. Flash drives and external drives are too expensive. I have a totally original idea of removable media that is inexpensive, flat for easy travel, uses magnetic high capacity storage, and even had a writable surface to remember what's on it with a simple marker! Brilliant, I know. And I have big plans to use BOTH sides for even more storage, as well as a special notch to distinguish when the contents are read only.
