A round screen both worries and excites me. I can't think of a nice way to present a website on a circular screen but it would also bother me to waste all that space putting everything into a box.
Do you really think browsing the web will be an important use-case for a watch?
Can I ask a dumb question? Is this a stand-alone device (requiring a SIM card) or does it require pairing with a phone for data access? Because if it's the latter it's no better on the key feature of portability than the existing Samsung/Pebble devices (AIUI).
Am I the only one who doesn't wear a watch (even if I wanted to) because I don't like the way it scratches against my MacBook Pro?
Until the battery died, that Casio, sans wristband, served as a sort of pocket watch. Now, I just look at my phone -- when I don't already have a clock on-screen somewhere.
Aside: I'd prefer a URL that didn't necessitate dynamic content in order to get a basic idea of what the product is. Call me old-fashioned... or paranoid (exploits); take your pick.

Really cool stuff! From what it looks like this is a big departure from the previous Android smart watches that look like they jammed Android 1.0 on there. Two big concerns for me: 1) Battery life 2) Display visibility They go hand-in-hand for me. Get that nice high-res display but will it last me a day? For battery life it would be nice to have induction charging if it were to last about 8 hours (my personal guess).

If they price this to compete with typical mid-high watches, then you're looking at about $4000 [1] which is more than enough to get some very impressive display technology in there. If they skimp and try to put in cheap hardware and go for a $500 price target then this is going to fall flat. Hopefully they understand the watch market and know to charge more and put in the best materiel, but knowing the tech industry…
...which will render the product DOA.
Cool, a male only product. I know more women that wear watches than men, but let's go with something that is gigantic and only men would wear. Seems to be a sound strategy.
Well you got to test the waters somehow. Its better to test it in one segment and if it doesn't flop, expand it further. Else, complaints can also include why they din't target children or the elderly.
Also gender specific products are established by society. You don't have necessarily follow them. If a female wears a men's watch, it won't automagically stop working.

Why do you rest your wrists on your MacBook Pro while you type?
I've been typing this way since like '94 and I've yet to have any carpal tunnel issues.
Attempting to type this line with elevated wrists feels very strange and something that I couldn't do for long periods of time.
