After looking at the responses, I find it amazing that most everyone has no concept that the Apple watch’s timekeeping capabilities are among the LEAST of it’s features, while this is the ONLY capability of the more expensive watches.
Then you have the obligatory anti-Apple idiots; who equate Apple with sodomy.
Ignorance must be bliss, because a great many of these posters are about as ignorant as they come when it’s time to look at the Apple watch, and what it does. They have no idea that it tracks your pulse, elevation, GPS, movements, gait as you walk, it uses low power Bluetooth to communicate these factors to the higher capacity CPU in the phone (and higher powered battery) such that these factors can be tracked, plotted and utilized by Health based software. These people do not realize that if they travel, the watch can track the status of their flights, display the boarding pass on the face and make processing through the line effortless. They do not realize that you can use the watch to get an Uber ride from your airport to your hotel, or use the watch to make phone calls, play music, get news, check social status updates, as a shopping list for groceries, to navigate you both outside on the street (discreetly telling you when to go straight, turn left or right), or even help out around the house. It can start your car (depending upon your car), activate or deactivate your home security - and this is just the tip of the ice berg.
Just amazing what people comment about, yet have no clue as to what they are speaking about. Sure, you can do many of these things without the watch - but the watch is designed to make these things more convenient. And if you don’t want one - no one is forcing you to buy one.
Excellent analysis of the commentary I've seen posted on most Apple Watch threads. It is amazing all the comments from people who have never seen one much less worn or even handled one. They are convinced there's no difference between an Apple Watch and a traditional clock on the wrist. . . so they dive off the deep-end in their criticisms of something they have no clue about and deride anyone who does know what they are talking about, thinking they have to be deluded or foolish in some way.
