First, the watch is NO phone. Let’s put that one to rest.
Second, nobody needs constant attention to their biometrics. Unless they’re in a coma. Or ICU. No watches there either.
Third, I have an iPhone (soon to be dropped for a new Samsung, thanks to the grandson). No, it’s not for me anyway because it’s a useless trinket.
Fourth, any “watch” that requires you to babysit it and CONSTANTLY flick your wrist to wake the damned thing up is no watch. Because watches tell time regardless of whether it’s “asleep” or not. Watches tell the TIME, not tell you what your idiot cousin sent you in an email.
Fifth, recharging without even a stand to do it (got to plug the thing in) is yet another annoying thing you have to do during the day. Aside from taking it off, then putting it back on, it’s another distraction to life. Buckle. Unbuckle. Charge. Charge. Charge your phone. Charge again. Buckle. Unbuckle.
Isn’t this ridiculous trinket suppose to SIMPLIFY your life? How is buckle, buzz, unbuckle, charge, buckle. Unbuckle. Can’t submerge. Unbuckle. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. supposed to simplify your life?
You have a lot to learn about the elegance of simplicity.
Nobody said the Watch was a phone. Good job starting your retort off with a non sequitur.
I’m a heart patient. I’m alive because a computer and mechanical valve keep my heart functioning. Damn straight the Watch’s biometrics will be useful. I’m quite interested in detailed continuing heart monitoring.
If I wanted a watch that just told time (inaccurately at that) I’d stick to my $500 Movado.
Taking a watch off and putting it in a safe place daily isn’t a problem. I never slept with a watch when I did wear one.
If taking off a watch daily is too much for you, then yes the Apple Watch is not for you. Don’t get one. Leave such sophistication to someone who can handle it.
First non sequitur. No one has claimed it is a phone.
Second, nobody needs constant attention to their biometrics. Unless they’re in a coma. Or ICU. No watches there either.
Second non sequitur. No one has claimed they are intending to do that. However, some doctors are saying it has some great potential for doing that for very thing for patients who DO need monitoring.
Third, I have an iPhone (soon to be dropped for a new Samsung, thanks to the grandson). No, it’s not for me anyway because it’s a useless trinket.
Then why are you so concerned about this bauble (obviously your conclusion), when it isn't for you. You have spent an inordinate amount of time and effort on something in which you've no interest. This makes this whole thread you've posted a non sequitur for you.
Fourth, any “watch” that requires you to babysit it and CONSTANTLY flick your wrist to wake the damned thing up is no watch. Because watches tell time regardless of whether it’s “asleep” or not. Watches tell the TIME, not tell you what your idiot cousin sent you in an email.
You are assuming facts not in evidence or based on trivial evidence. There is no "constantly flick" of the wrist required to wake the Apple Watch up. You make your complaint based on mistaken assumptions and ignorance of its functionality. The watch doesn't tell you if you've received email unless you've set it to tell you that. . . it is entirely up to you what it tells you, including time.
Fifth, recharging without even a stand to do it (got to plug the thing in) is yet another annoying thing you have to do during the day. Aside from taking it off, then putting it back on, it’s another distraction to life. Buckle. Unbuckle. Charge. Charge. Charge your phone. Charge again. Buckle. Unbuckle.
More abysmal ignorance. You have no idea what you are talking about. The straps on the Apple Watch are easy removal and it does not require "plug the thing in".
You have a lot to learn about the elegance of simplicity.
LOL! ROTFLMAO! You, lecturing Apple on the elegance of simplicity? Pardon me while I laugh some more!
