Each with "Early 2015" expected delivery dates, which do you think will be the first to deliver?
What I really want is the watch's sapphire coating on my MC Red.
Apple is great at meeting publicly announced release dates. Tesla utterly sucks at the same thing.
So who's planning on camping out at their local Tesla store the night before the Model X goes on sale?
Hope so. The 2 year anniversary of my deposit is coming up very soon.I expect that Model X buyers to be much more happy with their purchase.
Think the real question is which one will you own first. Easy answer for me: Model X.
I think wearables are just a fad. People buy them (Nike Fuel band, FitBit etc.), use them religiously for a couple of months. And then the devices just start gathering dust in the corner. And even if there was the perfect device, the question remains about how much data we really need.
I wear a Basis Peak watch everyday (since Jan 2014) to monitor my vitals, and track how well I sleep.
found that one-third of American consumers who have owned a wearable product stopped using it within six months. What's more, while one in 10 American adults own some form of activity tracker, half of them no longer use it.

My iPhone can be buried in my purse or left at home and ignored. I don't want to be forced to wear a smart watch only because it's the only way to access my house|car|thermostat|whatever.

A large number of people cast their wearable aside at some point. Forget to charge, don't want to wear it in a specific social situation, etc. And obviously it has to do with long-term value (something you're experiencing). But (imo) too many manufacturers are deciding that they need to offer a wearable, without thinking about 'what is the best solution for this problem'. It might be a wearable, it might be a passive sensor that sits near the bedside requiring nothing of the user.
You're an exception. A large number of people cast their wearable aside at some point.

I'll have you know I'm less than a month away from a 1 year streak with my Fuelband.
I think we are saying the same thing Bonnie. There isn't a wearable out today (with the exception of the Basis Watch) that meets the minimal criteria for being a useful device. Therefore, very few consumers actually use them beyond a few months.
I also agree that manufacturers are all jumping on the band wagon (probably mostly due to fear of Apple dominating the field) without giving any thought of how such a wearable should be used.
I do think that Apple has a very interesting device (and potential), its just that the battery life is much too short and its lacking some refinements, similar to how most of their first-generation products are under-developed. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd generation Apple watch might be worth something.
