A question of timing: the best jokes about the Apple Watch

A question of timing: the best jokes about the Apple Watch

The clock is already counting down until Apple launches its new smart watch in the UK.

But while some early adopters are ecstatic about the thought of wearing one of the new smartwatches, the launch of the new product attracted more mockery than praise as it trended on Twitter.

The watches are eye-wateringly expensive with the cheapest version, the Apple Watch Sport, costing between $349 and $399, which is around £230 to £264 in real money. A limited edition rose gold version will sell for $17,000.

And if the price tag hasn’t put you off, critics also pointed out a few other flaws.

Each watch needs to be paired with a nearby iPhone for all of its functions to work and, perhaps more importantly, the watches will need recharged at least once a day.

Others on Twitter were also quick to mock the Apple Watches with radio station XFM Manchester creating this handy graphic of its “best” features.
