What’s that? Its a smart watch a computer you basically wear on your wrist.
Keeping it charged can be a hassle.
Go out and get a timex.
Apple makes solid products. Sometimes they will have a glitch.
Love my iPhone.
That’s basically because it was busy transmitting all his personal info to the NSA, FBI, Google, IRS, NBC, CBS, MSN, et al.
Apps can do that and convenience comes with a price. Like loss of privacy.
The issue is not the watch, the issue is the iPhone it’s paired to, and what that iPhone is doing with it.
I thought Rush was through promoting Apple after Tim Cook shout off his mouth again. I heard part of the show, and he was singing the praises of his new iPhone with the separate data line.
1. I thought Rush gave up on Apple.
2. Rush is a lot of things, but he is not a techie.
Go to the Genius Bar, Rush. Sounds like you got a lemon.
I have an android watch. The battery life is terrible, maybe 14 hours. Reverted back to my Invicta.
Neither am I. Its weird there’s a charger problem because this is one heck of a smart watch.
They make dumb watches look limited.
And they’re expensive. Once they fix the battery life issue and bring the price down, the smart watch will become mainstream.

Our family has not had Rush’s problem with any of our Apple Watches. I wonder if it has something to do with the iPhone the “bad” watch(es) is/are linked to. Rush should take his “bad” watch and sync it to a different iPhone (that is currently synced to a non-problematic watch) and see if the “bad” watch’s problem goes away.
I’ve owned smartwatches but ended up selling them all and going back to my Casio ProTrek, a “sustainable” smart-ish watch.
Smartwatches are pretty pointless unless you’re at risk of having a heart attack, I suppose. The idea of having to charge it every couple of days makes it not worth the trouble. I’m not opposed to having to charge a separate device - my bluetooth headset is a lot handier and accessible than my wired set, but there’s extremely little your smartwatch can do that your phone in your pocket can’t and an enormous amount that your phone can do that your smartwatch can’t.
Meanwhile, my mechanical watch does not of that.
Well said.
One of the very few times I’ve heard Rush mail it in. He was unprepared to do a show today because he obsessed on figuring out his watch problem, so he tried to make a show out of describing in excruciating detail how he spent his prep time.
He took the first ten minutes of the show to tell us everything he did excepting whether he stopped to take a dump. I turned him off when he returned to the subject, so he might very well have gotten around to that as well. He found something more annoying than those frequent two minute live commercials he added in his new contract.
Before I hit the kill switch, he misnamed the judge in the Flynn case repeatedly over the course of several minutes and badly mischaracterized how the FBI approached Flynn in Jan ‘17. He was winging it - and it showed. Very disappointing, but it’s OK, he’ll probably take a couple of days off to rest up for his Christmas vacation. At least guest hosts don’t read those LifeLock commercials.
My Apple Watch 3 kept on randomly resetting
Did everything, including sending back to Apple
Everything checked out normal,
Turned out the “electronically hostile”
hospital ICU environment was screwing with Bluetooth connections
Next system upgrade fixed it
I agree, he was unlistenable today. I gave up after the first half hour.
Thank you for that post. Sometimes Rush just bores the hell out of his audience about matters 5% of his of them care about. It’s always “me, me, me” with him. Here’s what the local programming of Wilmington said about ME last night. Let me tell you about MY new Apple Watch. YAWN!!!!!
