I’ve worn my first generation AppleWatch every day for five years and I’m going to call BS on your claims. First of all, AppleWatches up until the cellular enabled third generation AppleWatch, did not work independently of the iPhone and never worked dependent on a computer. Secondly, the AppleWatch never listens continually and only listens when the user lifts the watch and speaks the phrase "Hey Siri" to trigger its attention. Finally, Apple does not sell advertising to any third-parties as you describe and even using my iPhone or computer, unless GOOGLE was involved with a webpage or I was using a GOOGLE app or service, no Apple product ever provided a third-party advertisement based on a search or conversation or anything else, and most certainly none through my Use of my AppleWatch nor have any of the numerous members of my family and friends who own and use AppleWatches ever reported such an experience, and some of them own third and fourth generation cellular enabled AppleWatches.
Frankly, with your calling the AppleWatch an "iWatches," which is a denigrating term used only by anti-Apple critics, I doubt you ever owned one much less multiple AppleWatches, nor stopped using them for the reason you stated.
As a matter of fact, I have owned TWO iWatches....please tell me how you would properly pluralize the spelling, of iWatch. It wouldn't be iWatch's, as that is the possesive form of spelling iWatch...as in, "The iWatch's keen reception is evident".
I now own (my second iWatch) a third generation (I believe...we've had them for maybe a little over a year...I can't recall exact date we purchased them).
I am not fabricating anything, and honestly don't appreciate your suggesting that I have done just that.
One more thing...I have been on your Apple ping list for many years. As an owner of a (getting pretty old) MacBook Pro, three iPads, multiple iPhones, beginning with the first generation and an AppleTV (older generation) I have found your Apple pings to be informative and helpful. You have even answered a couple of questions I have had, regarding my various devices, in the past.
I'm truly disappointed in your accusations, towards me, and expected more from someone I had always considered a FRiend.
Take care.
