Off Topic: Will You Get An Apple Watch?

We’ve finally gotten word on how much the vaunted Apple Watch will cost in Australia, and when it’ll be released here. Anybody planning on getting one?

There are three different models: the Apple Watch Sport, which costs between $499 and $579, the Apple Watch at $799-878 and the super premium Apple Watch Edition which rolls in at a ludicrious $14,000.

We were talking about watches yesterday in the office. Lifehacker Editor Angus Kidman claimed he literally felt weird when not wearing a watch. Gizmodo Editor Luke Hopewell felt weird when wearing a watch. Me? I’ve switched back and forth. I used to wear a watch when I was younger, but haven’t worn one in over a decade.

The way I see it: people can get used to anything. I used to feel weird about wearing my wedding ring. Then it felt natural. Then when I began removing it to go climbing it felt weird to not wear it. Again, I got used to it.

That being said, I don’t know if there’s really a big market for this kind of thing. I think it’s sort of… silly? Like anachronistic and weird. I think I’ll be skipping it.
