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.

Nice to know some people will get good use out of them. Until now, I was a little stumped on what need, exactly, smart watches were trying to fill. It's easy to dismiss the technology as nothing more than bling or status-symbol posturing, but high volume messaging makes sense. In fact, reading your post leaves me with the impression that these devices are basically better pagers. Sure, they do other things too, but that seems to be the technology gap they're filling.
Although, haven't they been for sale for three years now?
These are them, right? [tjskl.org.cn]
