Ok, you knew it was just a matter of time:

It's not exactly stylin', but it is kinda cool in a geeky sort of way. I almost like the overt squareness of it although those corners are a bit unwieldy and likely to catch on a sleeve.

It's a bit silly that you need to buy a third party strap - I have no idea why Apple didn't just build it as a watch in the first place. I'm guessing that his Jobsiness doesn't wear a watch or has anti-watch inclinations...

It is geeky. Are there other display modes?

Really nice
I'd like it better with a digital display.
If also stopwatch, calendar und (scientific) calculator were integrated, I'd wear this thing even though I don't need/want the music playback functionality. OMG, so many great ideas what you could do with THAT hardware on your wrist...

Are 24h battery life with display constantly on? I fear not.

In the presentation video Jobs says "you can wear it as a watch" - so why not include a decent strap?
You can clip it to your shirt cuff - no need for a strap. But OTOH - has anyone ever seen Jobs wearing shirt?

Here's a look at the "module". if not for the display, it would be smaller than most watch modules. As is not uncommon, the main board has shrunk to the point where most of the space is occupied by the battery and the screen:

Very cool!
I agree with rewolf - where is the digital display?
Come on Jobs, we're in the 21st Century now.......
