Unless you've been hiding in a cave in Afghanistan you know about the Apple Watch. Well, it went on sale today. It may be a useful piece of technology or it may be a waste of money, but it's here and it's real.

For those Soylentils who like to buy tech gadgets and then tear them down, El Reg has already done it for you. Enjoy.

    Nor is there benefit to most of us in spending thousands on Rolex, Patek Phillipe or Omega watches, but that hasn't stopped those companies being successful.

    I don't know anyone who'd be wearing - or even owning - those watches. And it's not like all my friends are homeless beggars. I and all my friends are simply practical people who have no need to use jewelry to make themselves visible. But sure, there are those who'd like to pay for yachts and airplanes of Rolex and Omega CEOs - they are in full control of their wallet. I'd rather buy my own yacht (or an equivalent, since I have no affinity to water.)
