And it doesn't require being coupled with an iphone to make itself something more than a watch.
Ooh, look!
There's an opening for some fanboy to jump in, and provide lecture on what a on-the-wrist bearing a watch-face device can do, even without being coupled to an iphone.
I'm doomed now.
I think I'll pass, on that.
Damned and doomed with one, damned and doomed without.
What's the difference? (fanboys the world over should take the time, pun intended, to ask themselves. As an extra secret bonus hint --- neither watch would provide the answer.)
It appears there are none!!
It appears there are none!!
Now now now. (all those !!!!) ???
Don't cry.
It's just a little boo-boo?
You'll get to feeeling better, later.
Just what I thought, I asked for a reasonably reply and all I get are insults.
What are better?
Oranges, or little green apples in Indianapolis?
Can you explain why the Casio watch is better than the Apple watch?
Can you give me a reason why I should buy one?
Let's pretend you're a Watch salesman and give me your best pitch.
Shiny Object Syndrome.
I don't pretend to be (or pretend not be either, come to think of it).
I think he already did.
Try this on for size, if what you are looking for is a watch, and not (for $400) chiefly something else instead.
Whats the point in taking the watch underwater without having the iPhone with you? Can it do anything without the phone within range?
Looking for sympathy?
The little boo-boo still got hurt feewings?
Grow up.
Now you GROW UP!!!
Are you sure it's a watch you are looking to have?
Apple fanboys sure are a touchy lot.
Or are you just going to throw insults again?
Go buy your fanbot bling apple watch and test it underwater to 4 meters. Leave it there for a few days at the bottom of a swimming pool and get back to me w the results
OK?
The article at the heading of the thread, sourced from 'Apple World Today' touches upon aspects of features for this Apple "Watch" gizmo, in finer detail.
Where have you been?
Wanna' buy a watch, or do you prefer a form of digital assistant type of thing that can be worn on the wrist, and has a functional analog watch in the place that "wrist watches" have traditionally had?
Oranges, or little green apples.
The choice is yours.
Why you would be looking to me for assistance with that decision, I would not know.
I should have said;
functional analog watch display, I think.
When in watch (display?) mode, its just an image, right?
So let me get this straight. If I am a new guy to this Apple watch thing, I have to buy an iPhone, get a 2 year contract with a mobile service provider then by the watch? That sounds like a very steep investment.
I don't buy watches to go swimming with. I haven't been swimming in over 20 years. And if I did go swimming, I would leave all my valuables in the truck, i.e., watch. wallet, cell phone, etc.
I have owned a watch of so kind for most of my life and have NEVER gone swimming with any of them.
But you seem to think that is the only feature that counts.
I have asked you to name the things your watch does that the Apple watch doesn't do, or the things your watch does better.
And I have been called a fanboy, talked to like I was 3 years old, told me my feelings were hurt.
You have repeatedly not answered the questions.
