    Pokemon Go used as part of Apple's health promotion.

    Is this your first Apple Event? :D Always happens!

    Nope but never noticed it this bad in all the years I've watched. Most of the demos aren't even Apple created stuff, but third parties.

    I dropped my 6 plus a few times into water and it was only the sound affected, and that repaired itself.
    But water resistance is good.

    "So guys, Pokemon Go huh? People seemed to like that two months ago. I think we should base a whole presentation around it."

    really big time...garmin swim watches are close to an apple watch on price so it could be a real competitor. I wonder will they go sapphire glass for all models now?

    GPS is definitely appealing to me, along with the water proof aspect.

    The Apple watch is getting more tempting by the minute.

    Seems Apple have listened to all of the initial complaints and worked hard on the watch. The maxim of wait for the second iteration of an Apple product comes true again!!!

    Series 2 sounding more and more like what the original watch should have been.

    Be interesting to see if they have upgraded the glass.

    Apple watch made of ceramic. Could it be the same material for the glossy iPhone?

    Battery life not mentioned. So looks like the same as before, or worse if the GPS was added.

    Funny that Nike destroyed their iOS app with an update two weeks ago

    Suspect it'll be the same, because the leaked model has a bigger battery.

    +1

    Assuming they are done, they actually spent very little time on the actual hardware.
