Very strange "interactive" survey (read self-selected survey) results on who wants to buy an Apple Watch. . . from Reuters Ipsos claims more minorities and Obama voters want one. 42% say they want one for the "coolness factor" which makes me think the people answering are not really buyers but spoofing the survey instead. What do you think? — PING!

Apple Watch Wanna-Be Buyer Survey Ping!

I think it's a “survey” designed to yield silly and non reality based results. When my family and I go into our local Apple Store, I don't observe what I would describe as obvious Obama voters and I certainly don't see folks who want to buy an Apple watch or a new Macbook to “look cool”.

But take it to the bank...the Apple Haters (the ones who appear on these threads to insult Apple product users) and the room temperature IQ crowd would certainly believe this is a legitimate survey.

From a previously posted article:

"A product review isn't necessary the right place to go into theories about technology or nit-pick on why turning on all notifications results in too many notifications being sent. People are going to buy Apple Watch if it looks cool. The review should try to help answer that question."

I think it's a crappy, poorly-thought-out, click-bait survey, being responded to by bored spoofers.

More proof that tech writers WHORES will do ANYTHING -- ANYTHING -- to put "Apple" in a headline for page hits.
