Apple Watch still having production issues, autonomous Watch 2 is coming up later this year, analyst says

In the meantime, Mr. Arcuri and his sources seem to believe that the Apple Watch 2 is already underway and should be released by the end of 2015. The new timepiece will, reportedly, be capable of autonomous functionality (no need to tether to iPhone) and will feature its own set of full connectivity tools, as well as an OLED display, built by none other but Samsung.
So, if any of this is true, we wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of a bent display on the second Apple wearable – possibly adopting a look akin to the Asus ZenWatch or the Samsung Gear S, in terms of shape at least. But, in truth, we highly doubt that Apple would release the second generation of the Watch this year, and we are not really convinced that Cupertinians would want to make the timepiece autonomous just yet, so we'd take these “sources” information with a grain of salt,.

Again a rumor of production issue just before the launch, mostly to build the demand IMO.

Change question in questionnaire on "Are You interested in purchase AppleWatch" and You receive 69% on YES. Simple psychology. People tend to say "yes" in questionnaire no matter what is the question. Just check selling stats in the end of the year.

HAHA. SO the "next" Apple Watch will like have 3G/4G capability? Why didn't the first model have it? An excuse to force early adopters to upgrade?
Oh and look, OLED display next time? Could it be, because the LCD display has such dismal battery-life?
Watch (no pun intended) how drastically the battery-life increases on the OLED based model. I am betting 2 days of usage on a single charge, especially with a small screen.
What is funny is Apple and the fan boys dissed the original Gear for not being a standalone device, and Apple Watch 1.0, isn't a standalone device. But the next one will be? lol
Go rush and pay $349 for the experimental junk, and then spend it again for the next model with a meager upgrade.
Apple is the Nintendo/Sega of the 80's. Just milking the flock with half-@$$ 'd upgrades model after model.

Ugh, Apple ALWAYS have production issues, to make people go "I should get it now because people will buy all of them and there will be none for me!" But somehow they always have enough for everyone.
Freaking PR stunt.
