The biggest Apple fan I know went with a Samsung smart watch instead of the iPhone... That says something.

You won that argument. Only children and idiots wear watches. Why would anyone want to improve the way they look with jewelry or accessories or clothes or makeup or haircuts or soap? Silliness.

Have one and it's good but not great. I look forward to the next software update which will allow 3rd party apps. Being my 6+is bent my watch must be within 5 feet of my phone or its worthless. Like the original iPhone it will take a few years to catch on.

I honestly could live without it but it's nice to have.

I told myself I'd never own a smart watch. I'm now wearing an LG Watch Urbane with a Panerai-ish strap and I'm almost convinced it will be useful. So far,  it's only shown its worth at work where checking my phone would cause issues. I did the Fenix 2 thing and wasn't very impressed. I'm getting about 2 days on a charge with the LG. Android Wear has some pretty cool watch faces and watch face utilities. The biggest issue so far has been seeing the face in bright daylight.

Not so much you, it is just funny to read posts from members that underestimate the company, have no clue and think they may of known better and bash em'. It is comedy to watch(pun intended) ARF members pick apart one of the most successful publicly traded companies in the history of the world.
I actually purchased additional (significant) stock prior to the release of the watch.  Questionable move? arguably but, I believe in the company and it's history.
Ftr - I own nothing Apple related, wife owns an iPad so put your fan boy comments in another thread.

And?

Rolex is catnip to gold-diggers, and therefore destroys your argument. Plus a nice watch makes a nice wardrobe which in turns attracts more vagina.

FWIW, I don't wear watches anymore because technology.

A 75-$150 watch can still work well enough so long as the women don't actually know anything about watches. Just like how a woman doesn't need a $2000 necklace to have her looks improved by one. They mostly just see something shiny on your wrist that looks nice. And if it's <$100 and the woman actually is a gold digger, she'll recognize it as cheap and pass, so it has a positive sorting effect while also improving your appearance.



Just like how a decent pair of shoes improves how you look compared to a pair of flip flops, even if the shoes aren't $1500 Gucci whatevers.

You know what it does better? It sits on your wrist, as easy to see as checking the time... IMHO the purpose of a smart watch is so that you don't have to go dig your phone out of your pocket to see who just sent you a txt message or email... you can simply glance at your wrist and decide if the archeological dig into your pants is worth it in that particular instance.

One other aspect I think would be useful would be in an office with 123478396 people that have smartphones dinging, beeping, bleeping, ringing and otherwise making constant noises could be silenced. I remember at a previous job when I started using an iPhone for official mail and such. In short order, everyone was. Then there were all the dings, pings, gongs, and rings going off and EVERYONE had to look at their damn phone to see if it was theirs.

If you have something like an Apple Watch or one of the Android smart watches, you don't really have to put up with that shit... it just gives you a quick buzz when you receive a notification. No need to announce to everyone in a 50 yard radius that you just got a text message.


It is also about choice. You don't HAVE to have one... it's just a nice option.

I never saw the point of this thing, you post makes kinda sense but two issues I think I may have. One charging it very day. There is no way I would remember. That all the time. Also the battery on my iPhone sucks I'm constantly going flat. It's a work phone so gets a lot of use don't alway have access to a charger.

Two how useful can that small screen be I have trouble reading the text on the phone.

Oh look, the guy who was pimping the POS Volt is pimping the POS iWatch



"pimping"?  I've had my Volt for 2 years now and have had a grand total of 1 problem - a nail in a tire. Local dealer replaced the tire 100% under warranty. I've never tried to sell them here or in any other forum, I mostly just try to dispel all the silly underinformed ignorance about them. This isn't the thread for it, but your assumption that it is a POS is childish, silly, and misinformed.

But you can proceed to attack me in this unrelated thread if you want. I don't have an Apple Watch and I'm certainly not "pimping" it.

So much butthurt


Yeah... I go into threads to call out people for unrelated things. You're good for a laugh or two. It's always fun to laugh at the 'tards who can't help but out themselves.

Go pat yourself on the back, but don't strain your shoulder too badly.

Let me ask you a few questions here. I'm serious, and I want to know. You obviously don't agree with what I've said about smart watches, so:

Why do you feel the need to bring up something else I like that you don't when it is entirely unrelated to this topic?
Is it a "stop liking what I don't like" thing?
Or do you think this makes you appear smarter or superior to me in an attempt to somehow invalidate my comments?  
Do you feel that putting others down makes you smarter/better/stronger/more manly/superior?
Do you think you're "outing a libtard" or something, like a witch hunt among friends? (we're all here because of our similar interests, even if all of our interests are not similar)

Help me understand man. I'm sure you're man enough to answer my questions honestly.

I agree - it's not quite there yet. I have found it incredibly convenient that my Fitbit pops up caller ID data when my phone rings though - just knowing who is trying to call me without pulling my phone out, especially while driving is way more convenient than I ever would have thought it to be.

Every time you dig your phone out of your pocket, ask yourself "would I need to have done that if I had an Apple Watch?".

 



I think that's part of the appeal; the phone becomes less necessary. This is especially true with people who are really tied into frequent texts, alerts, e-mails, brief phone calls, schedule changes, etc.




Not saying it's for everyone (I don't own one), but for a lot of people it's helpful, and they notice their phone charge lasts much longer.

That news story is based on a report that uses very suspect data.  Marketwatch is always bashing Apple.  

Apple Watch will do very well when Apple's quarterly report later is released this month.  

Don't fall for the click bait.  

I love my Apple Watch, use it for more than I thought I would and I am not early exploiting it to its fullest potential.

That's kinda one of the minor things I think a smartwatch should be good for. It should first and foremost be a watch - a place where you can get the time, just like any other watch. (smart watches do offer HUGE flexibility in watch faces. I think Android Wear has THOUSANDS of different watch faces you can use. A lot of the first ones were literally pictures of high-end watches made to be animated... anyway)

Next they need to give you relevant information at a glance. My favorite watch faces on my 360 not only show me the time, but will show me the date, day, month, and outside temperature and basic weather condition. I can get this all at a glance.

Caller ID, and other notifications come up as well that allow you to decide whether or not to interact with your phone.

As far as "not there yet", I only want a few simple improvements - better screen, more efficient processor and longer battery life. Recharging daily isn't as much of a hassle as one might think... but still 3-7 days would be more awesomer.

Part of the problem is Americans don't usually buy said smartphone outright.  They finance it over two years via our shitty cell phone "plans".  If that garbage didn't exist and phones were $600, lots of busboys would be using flip phones instead.  

The solution is obviously to get ATT, Sprint, etc. to bundle a stupid fucking watch with said $600 phone and sell them together on the low low monthly installment plan to the idiots.

The last time I wore a watch, I was 12. Even my 12 year old brain managed to understand watch = vagina repellant....






What the fuck are you talking about?     Serious question:  are you saying that kids today can't wear watches for fear of it being a turn off?    



What culture is this?



Can any other young men confirm this?




Men now don't wear a watch because it "ages" them, since everyone has a phone.




I can't speak for 12 year olds.

lol.... And folks wonder why divorce rates are sky high.... " Look at me I have all this money, and a fancy watch" 5 years later.." whoa is me, she left me took half my stuff, she even took my computer, and now I cant play world of war craft"


Good thing I don't wear them for other people I wear them because I like them. I like to look at them.

I am actually really intrigued by your comments.   I'd like to know more about your culture, if you could spare a few moments.

Where do you life?  

When were you borne?    
What would be the average income for an adult in your area?    

What would be a "good income?"    

Are you White?    Hispanic?   Black?    Asian?      Other? (Describe).  

Do you live in the country?    Or City?    

Thanks.   This stuff fascinates me.

Haha yeah THAT"S the cause.  Fucking double standards,  I tell my wife that she really can't say shit until the stuff on my wrist totals the useless rock on her finger.  Dudes will finance a $20k ring for their fiancees but it isn't ok for us to buy a few nice watches.

I tried one on and it was a cool novelty, but it's just that: a novelty.  $500-800 is too rich, if it were $200 or something I might be tempted.

For now I'll stick to my good ol mechanical goodness

Is this universally true across all income groups?    

I work a job where everybody has a watch, almost part of the uniform,  and I've never heard of this.

What age group would you say it applies to?
