Apple Watch: The Funniest Twitter Reactions

It was the moment we'd all been waiting for. Well, some of us.

Exciting to see this #AppleWatch news today because I can't wait to have this piece of anger-inducing failure jewelry in my life.

If you're a male from 30-50 years old you can stop acting like you don't want the #AppleWatch because we know you do. pic.twitter.com/bH3Uxlk8wM

Yes, an Apple Live event took place on Monday -

But what was #AppleWatch going to involve?

does the #AppleWatch keep track of how long #AppleLive have gone without paying tax in the US?
— iain morris (@iainkevanmorris) March 9, 2015

Sadly not. Nor was it about this...

Hmm. #AppleWatch? Oh God. Did Ed try and eat one or something?
— Ellie Cumbo (@EllieCumbo) March 9, 2015

Or this...

#AppleWatch - Bill Oddie, live from an orchard for three hours.

But it did involve this...

Late to the #AppleLive event.

And, of course, the unveiling of... THE APPLE WATCH!

Hate to point it out, Apple, but that watch is going to be FAR too big for people's wrists.

That's right. And no, the Apple Watch doesn't look like this:

I dunno, I don't think it's that practical. #AppleWatch pic.twitter.com/MfciaEMZPI

Got my #AppleWatch already! pic.twitter.com/7sIQikD404

just going to track down ten more photos of people with apples strapped to their wrists (hahahahaha) and then get on with my day #AppleWatch
— Rick Edwards (@rickedwards1) March 10, 2015

Loving the new #AppleWatch except it's actually just an onion I sellotaped to my wrist. pic.twitter.com/OJJ2XmI9jd

Nor does it look this:

Why spend $349-$10,000 on an #AppleWatch when you can do this? #wearabletech pic.twitter.com/jUKEQdSkMJ
— Martin D. Gallagher (@MartinGsq) March 9, 2015

There was great discussion of the Apple Watch apps and features:

Inside the #AppleWatch there are tiny distressed Chinese kids wondering why you don't look at the time on your iPhone
— Will Black (@WillBlackWriter) March 10, 2015

Fact: The #AppleWatch comes with a built-in app that identifies you as a prime target for muggers.
— Dai Lama (@WelshDalaiLama) March 10, 2015

Thank goodness the Stocks app is on the #AppleWatch. I imagine a lot of people were starting to panic.

@TiernanDouieb Question we all want to know - what sort of core processor does #AppleWatch have? Dualcore? pic.twitter.com/zcnwREyFTj

My Apple Watch says it's almost U2 o'clock [sponsored time]
— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) March 9, 2015

There were some concerns about the battery life:

The Apple Watch is estimated to have a battery life of eighteen hours. That's estimated as in actually about twelve hours less than that.
— tom jamieson (@jamiesont) March 9, 2015

OK THAT IS TOO FAR APPLE! YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE HOW MANY HOURS ARE IN A DAY YOU POWER HUNGRY FOOLS! #applelive pic.twitter.com/6sShI4byit
— Tiernan Douieb (@TiernanDouieb) March 9, 2015

And even the fact that Christy Turlington ran a half-marathon using one didn't persuade everyone:

OH: "It was only a half marathon because the battery doesn't last longer."
— Javier Soto (@Javi) March 9, 2015

Plenty of people had issues with the cost:

Apple say they want the #AppleWatch to "replace your wallet".
Starting at £500 I think this is a very realistic target.
— Producer Jim (@Mr_Jimbob) March 10, 2015

Especially the cost of the gold version:

If I wanted to spend $10,000 on something that'll be obsolete in three years I'd buy an engagement ring!!!!! #applewatch
— patrick (@pattymo) March 9, 2015

When you buy the $10,000 Gold #AppleWatch, U2 moves in with you & cooks you breakfast every morning, but you can't get them to leave.
— Matthew Lindblad (@HideYourMilk) March 9, 2015

I wouldn't spend €10,000 on an #AppleWatch
I can't ever imagine needing to know the time that badly.
— Baz (@bazlyons) March 9, 2015

You could spend $10k on an #AppleWatch or you could pay 10k people $1 each to kick some sense into your perenium
— Mitten d'Amour (@MittenDAmour) March 9, 2015

All in all, Twitter remained decidedly underwhelmed...

There's a clock on my phone thanks #AppleWatch
— Liz Buckley (@liz_buckley) March 9, 2015

I really don't get the #AppleWatch at all. Who wants to watch people squinting and yelling at their wrists in public?
— Tom + Lorenzo® (@tomandlorenzo) March 10, 2015

No thanks #AppleWatch pic.twitter.com/9lQcWwMidg
— Rachael (@RachaelvsWorld) March 9, 2015

Because what will the Apple Watch really bring to our lives?

The #AppleWatch will revolutionise the way you withdraw from social situations and ignore your family #AppleEvent
— Ben (@0point5twins) March 9, 2015

Reckon there will be a lot more car crashes with this #AppleWatch
— JC (@JCautomatic) March 9, 2015

And despite tweeters remaining alert...

#AppleWatch It's still sitting there in my fruit bowl.
— Tony Cowards (@TonyCowards) March 9, 2015

#AppleWatch enters its fourteenth hour... pic.twitter.com/gqYVuT32MX
— Nick Pettigrew (@Nick_Pettigrew) March 10, 2015

There were still plenty of unanswered questions:

— Dave Callan (@davecallantwit) March 10, 2015

As with most things in life, we think it's probably best to give Douglas Adams the final word:

"...ape-descended life forms so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea"
Douglas Adams

— David Allen Green (@DavidAllenGreen) March 10, 2015

Well, exactly. So long and thanks for all the gadgets, Apple.
