Apple Watch Anyone? - Page 2

Blueface · 05-15-2015, 05:25 PM

Had a hard time deciding between new Apple Watch and new Breitling.
This was a pretty good compromise.

I Like It, Carlos!

Will Wait Awhile Before I Buy One, Myself, Though.

I think I will stick with my Samsung Gear 2 Neo that I got last year

But no Breitling dial.

Oddly, I've had zero interest.
I used to wear a watch all the time. Then I got a phone and no longer needed a watch.
If I could ditch the phone and just wear the watch, that'd be different.
That's not far down the road, I'm sure.

I wear a watch I guess b/c I'm old skool, but if you look at the college age kids now none of them wear watches since they all grew up with iPhone, Ipad ect.

They should've done kinetic charging.

Like Seiko, good idea.

The Apple (and Google) watches may be just the ticket to get (some of) the younger generation wearing watches again. I know my friends' son never wore a watch but he is a proud owner of the Motorola/Google watch.

I also know of several other younger people who are very happy with the Apple Watch -- and they never heard of Dick Tracy

35-40 years ago, I was one of those that hated watches and would never wear one. While we didn't have smart phones then, didn't feel I needed a watch. Then it all changed one day with my wife being hired by Movado. Bought me a watch during an employee sale and it all went downhill from there.
Now? Don't know what life would be without any of my Rolex, Breitling, Concord, Movado, Apple and until not too long ago, Polar Heart Rate Monitor. If any chance I could buy more, I would.

Aside from obvious of telling time, a watch is an item totally reflective of your personality and style. It's a jewelry accessory and at this point in my life, I would feel naked without one, any one. In the case of the Apple Watch, a novelty/toy. While I would agree not for everyone, however I would argue that if you are single, looking for a mate, wear a nice watch. Trust me, they look at your wrist to read you. Wish I had known this then.

This is all so true. Very few really "use" a watch. Are you trusting your commercial airline pilot to use his Aviator watch to calculate flight path or decent?

My uncle was an Air Force pilot in the 50's and 60's; he can! He can use a slide rule, too.

I'm not sure, should I feel old...ish because I can use a slide rule?

Nah different times and dates.

Here are a couple different articles with some tips, one talks about using the force touch feature for shortcuts.

I won't buy one, personally don't see the need or have the want to. I have had an iphone since the 3g. Recently upgraded from the iphone 5 to the 6 plus and love it. i also recently bought my wife an iphone 6 plus to, also got her and I Ipad Air 2s as well and love them working together, but the watch? Nah. My windows laptop crapped out on me a couple weeks ago and I am fighting hard trying to talk myself out of getting a macbook. Just the price is what's holding me up since I spent all the money on two iphones and Ipads. LOL
