Fodder Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I can't wait Feels like when I was a kid waiting for Santa All this just for a watch..... What are you going to be like next year when they announce a watch which works Fixed that for you. I'm sorry I like apple products but the watch and strap I'd choose is close to 1k and the peripheral I'm buying would be out of date within 12 months, possibly 6. I realise the strap is getting on for 1/3 of the price and I'm guessing they will offer gen 2 without a strap come September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgazza Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Treated myself to a Breitling watch yesterday, will last for years without the need for updates, looks much nicer and will not depreciate in value to much.. Love my iPhone. ipad & ipod but sorry the watch is not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 There's an almost poetic irony in the need for a watch for the impending countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 That's an issue with all HR smart watches, and the Apple Watch is better than most at getting round it. Might be worth giving it a try in a shop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at them in the apple store the other day and am now tempted but im just wondering if they stay interesting a month or so after purchase?

Stutopia Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Have many of you on here got one? I had a look at them in the apple store the other day and am now tempted but im just wondering if they stay interesting a month or so after purchase? I was thinking about updating this thread the other day but real life crept in. It's my one month anniversary today and my thoughts are: • I love the look and feel of my Watch + Milanese Loop. A few people have commented positively on it (not just fanboys). • Notifications (texts, reminders, calendar, email) are very good for just keeping an eye on, particularly in meetings or if your phone is put away. • Directions are fantastic when on foot. Irritating when you're driving. • Many times I've not noticed my phone ringing (it's usually on silent) but my watch has tapped me on the wrist so I've not missed the call. • The health stuff is mildly interesting, I'm not a keen exerciser so I can't compare it to dedicated fitness stuff, but the nags every hour to get up and move around are an interesting idea. I can see how a person might get into trying to hit the 3 goals that it monitors for you each day. • Battery life is good compared to what I expected. I expected to charge it nightly, but it can just about manage 2 days (currently on 84% at 3:20pm). • It's mildly useful that you can control media playback on it (Apple TV and iTunes etc). On the flip side, it's a wedge of cash but I'd rather drop £600 on this than a "proper" watch which doesn't do anything except date/time/look pretty - this is obviously hugely subjective. Not quite figured out what the killer app will be, notifications are definitely my favourite thing. If you love gadgets and have the money, it's good fun and a taste of the future. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have the cash and are saving up for it to change your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks for that, I was hoping you'd put me off a bit but I still think I'll get one. Just have to decide which one to go for now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My neighbour got one and decided to sell it after a day, the idea that it 'saves' him any time of effort instead of reaching for your pocket for your phone is absurd and I have to agree. Clearly Apple would like to see us do away with phones and the tech is miniturised to fit in a watch is their objective but at the moment it is just an extra screen for your phone from what I can see and would I spend that money on the thing, not really. My neighbour is CEO of a large energy firm, he easily afford this early market tech and he is an Apple fan but felt it was a waste of money.
