This is also the first time I thought I might prefer a metal watch band. I think I'll buy the "bracelet" and stick my $50 G-Shock watch on it though.

Maybe... but the knife and pliers on ny leatherman see the most use, by far.
The band is kinda cool but the watch face is meh..
Looks like the band can be ordered on its own. I'm seriously tempted to go that route.
The band can be ordered on its own, but there's nothing about fitting your own watch face to it. But if there is a way to do it, then I've found my next watch band.
It says they're working on a universal adapter- when that happens, I'll seriously consider getting one and putting my Pebble on it. Granted, I also have a TSA-approved mini-Leatherman and their flat multitool that I carry when I fly, but this would be nice and convenient.
That's very very cool.
Awesome. That plus a Moto 360 might get me wearing watches again.
When does the belt version come out?
I'd like to see it have a leather sheath that goes over the band when not in use.
The basic version with just the band will be about $150 to $200, which isn't too bad. But why does the version with the watch cost $500-$600? That kinda defeats the purpose of a rugged multitool that you wear on your wrist. I'm sure as hell not going to drop that kind of coin on something that will get scratched and beat up.
It's a tool, not a dressup accessory 
.
If they are indeed coming out with a universal watch attachment module for it, then the $400+ watch face they offer simply exists as an opportunity for the more-money-than-brains crowd to fleece themselves 
When does the version with the laser beam come out?

...$300? I, uh, I need to go to the bank real fast. Be right back.
That's a novel idea, but I never use any of the tips in my Gerber. I use the knife and the pliers. They could take the rest of the crap out and I would never miss it.
Three digit watch? WTF good is it? It would be okay from 1:00 until 9:59, but after that, you're going to wish you had paid extra for the fourth digit!
I like the idea, but here's the list of tools, and...
How many of them are actually necessary? 7 different screwdrivers? An oxygen bottle wrench? #2 square drive?
Edit to add: what I think would be better would be a customizable set, for example, you can pick up to 8 links from a great big list of tools. Have one band that's all metric hexes, one that's all SAE hexes and it makes a little more sense to me.

At least one of the links has a 10mm wrench. Maybe this one won't get lost so easily.

Uhh.... That is exactly what it is. The Leatherman CEO said he has 8 on his wrist; the lady writing the article said she'd probably have 5.
My wrists aren't too big so I think I'd leave out #18 and #3.
In reply to mtn:
Not quite what I meant. There are a total of 8 links available, not counting the clasp part, and you pay for all of them whether you need/want those tools or not. There should be more choices (let's say 20 different links with different tools), and you only pay for the ones you want/need. As it is now, even if you don't want to wear the link with the #2 square drive, you're still paying for it.

Yes it will, it will just cost you $150 to replace rather than $1.50. 
This looks cool. Throw in the universal watch adapter and I might start wearing my watch again.
It looks neat but I don't like metal watch bands. I wear my canvas one most of the time now. I really liked wearing a vest and pocket watch at work but I started to look too much like the narrator for Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
