Actually, I shouldn’t have said “you” since your posts are 24x7 so I suspect your login is used by multiple social media workers that post your Apple press releases and advertisements.
I have one like that that I bought back in like 1979. Seiko Sports 100. Still have it. Wore it for about 20+ years but when I turned 40 my wife bought me a Rolex Submariner. I wear it every day. : )
She sounds like a keeper!
Sounds like you’ve got a pretty good wife too.
However on the iPhone, even though I limit the notifications, all of them are treated equally and my phone was constantly buzzing telling me I had a notification. Of course, I check it to see if it is important and needed an immediate response. I had forgotten how much I had to pick up and check my iPhone prior to the Apple Watch.
...
So what he’s saying is the iPhone is an annoying piece of junk.
Your stats are lies. Apple doesn’t sell their watches at the same price worldwide. And the graph I posted disproves your statements.
All lies. And even if Apple does sell the thing to a tune of 5B, this is an utter failure. A 2 percent portfolio and that’s all Apple’s got to show for their hyped up wasted efforts over the past 4 years?
This is the big leagues and Apple’s batting 020. And what do you care if Apple sells 1 or 100 million of these anyway? shouldn’t you be more concerned the horse you’re backing is trying to destroy the lives of our fellow conservatives and Christian brethren????
Look asshat, I am one person who just runs the Apple PING list on Freerepublic. . . which you have been told and JR knows all about it. Give it a rest. You've been told this repeatedly. . . yet you continue this campaign. Cut it out. You've had your replies deleted multiple times because of your irrational hatred.
And all your Citizen EcoDrive watch does is tell time. Nothing more. It is not even as accurate as the Apple Watch over a years time.
*****************
NEGATIVE , my watch is infinitely more accurate beginning with hour 30 when yours shuts down and demands that you recharge it .. How accurate is something that is turned off? ... Yes “all mine does is tell time” , isn’t that what a watch does? And yes mine is inaccurate to a few seconds a month... Can you please tell me how that is damaging to it’s functionality or usefulness to me?
P.S. Yes you did... you said many times here never to think of an iWatch as an actual watch,, that was not it’s purpose or function. And I agree with you.
Actually what he’s saying is he’s a phone helicopter and now has 2 places to land his skids on 24 hours a day.
What makes you think that Apple is sharing its sales data with Slice? They are not. That Chart is completely BOGUS. . . because there were not email sales receipts made to anyone in April for Slice to track. . . because they do not have access to Apple's servers. Nor could they track charges to credit/debit cards until Apple started shipping phones. . . in May. Ergo, everything about that chart is pulled out of their nether orifice just like your data. It is meaningless, made up BS. SLICE knows nothing except what they get from a few receipts their members have.
That is also, US sales alone when Apple was selling in the US, Europe, Japan, and China. . . meaningless. . . even if it were accurate, which it is not
Is Apple Watch successful?While its initial sales were not as high as iPhone or iPad, according to research from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), the post-launch demand for the Watch has been higher than its sister products. Ubergizmo examined that research and offered the following analysis:
"The company tracked interest of the original iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch in its first 5-6 weeks of launch and found that the iPhone managed to garner the most interest at the start, followed by the iPad, and then the Apple Watch. However as the weeks progressed, interest in the original iPhone started to decline rather sharply and around the fourth week, it was overtaken by the Apple Watch.. . .
Will it be bigger than iPhone?
Early predictions suggest that Apple Watch may be a megahit extending its reach well beyond the strongest Apple devotees. The company could sell as many as 36 million smartwatches in the first year, according to revised predictions from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, who is raising her Apple Watch sales forecast by 20% from the earlier figure of 30 million CNET reported.
That blows early iPhone sales out of the water and suggest a strong future for the watch.— The Motley Fool — July 6, 2015
On the same day that chart was released, The Motley Fool reported that the Apple Watch demand exceeded initial sales demand of both the iPhone and the iPad in the long run. The iPad had the highest initial sales of any new product in history when it was first released. . . and the fact is the Apple Watch actually exceeded the iPad's first three-day weekend's numbers in the FIRST TEN MINUTES of pre-sales! The Motley Fool yesterday also reported that Morgan Stanley upped its prediction to 36 million Apple Watch sales in its first year from 30 million.
So much for your single source FUD article from an anal-cyst who does not have access to the data needed to really do the analysis.
I think that Morgan Stanley's numbers are probably too high. . .
No, he's saying he was having to use it too often for things that were unnecessary to pick up the iPhone to see were unnecessary to look at right then. The Apple Watch makes it easy to see and dismiss the need to pick up the iPhone. You can also decide what alerts and notifications you don't want to send to the Apple Watch that you might like to normally receive on the iPhone. When you are wearing the Apple Watch and it is active, the iPhone will not necessarily display or beep for those either.
You choose to read too much negativity into what he wrote. . . which was to describe the exact reason that Apple designed the Apple Watch: to relieve the user from having to depend too much on the iPhone for alerts and notifications that require having to pull the iPhone out of a pocket or purse to see what they are all about.
Too high? They’re off the charts. Boots on the ground are already stating suppliers have had their orders practically halted. These are reliable Chinese sources who accurately predicted the booming sales of the past 3 Apple releases.
And the Apple scarcity tactic was evidence they knew the launch would be a disaster, which it was.
Now, you can continue to believe the shadow stats coming from vested investment companies or Apple’s wishy-washy comments about overall sales, or you can listen to the ears on the ground. It’s your choice.
Normally I would stay out of posts like these, but you posted a pure biased propaganda “I missed it while it was gone” AppleBamaCare piece, hoping nobody would notice how you’re really advertising for Apple instead of defending sound conservative principles.
Entire article read. Stand by my post.
I think I got it right. A person shouldn’t need an expensive watch to make their phone work the way they want.
Oh, now I’m a drunken old clown now, is it? More Alinsky tactics of attacking the messenger instead of the message.
I see you’re not an economist. If you were, you’d know 5 billion out of 210 billion is a measly 2.3 percent.
All this hubbub over 2.3% and a future forgotten product made by a future forgotten Apple. Can you do us a favor there Mr. chief executive officer? Can you stop fibbing about being an economist? And a CEO also?
And just for the record, I was a CEO for 30 years. My neighbors were too. CEO’s grow on trees in this country. Like that ole’ Dr. Pepper jingle. I think I forgot my gold CEO star chart back at the prior abode, but if I find it I would be happy to mail it to you to add it to your prestigious collection.
Good night.
Who turns it off. I don't. You are such an ignoramus on what you are talking about and you are making a fool of your self. The Apple Watch keeps running while charging. Try arguing about something you USE one of these days and I might have some respect for you. I actually own a Citizen EcoDrive Chronograph watch. I know its capabilities and limitations. It's just a watch nothing more. The Apple watch is a watch and far more.
P.S. Yes you did... you said many times here never to think of an iWatch as an actual watch,, that was not it’s purpose or function. And I agree with you.
No, Neidermeyer, I know exactly what I have written on Freerepublic. I told you that it is more than a watch, and not to think of it as "just a watch", but I certainly did not tell you it "sucked as a watch" which is what you quoted me as saying above. . . that made you a liar about what I said by your embellishing what I said. Not a single one of us who have argued this with you have ever stated that.
Fine, you make your Android phone alert and notify you about important things without taking the phone out of your pocket or purse. . . The functionality added is not possible without adding the watch.
Android phones are annoying junk, too.
