Apple Watch - Laugh Out Loud Piece Of Junk?

[joggerjayne]

I've been reading about the Apple Watch.

Is it possibly the most useless piece of technology ever made?

Apple's website gives it a battery life of 18 hours! So if I get the early train to London, by the time I'm looking for a late train home, I have to ask someone else for the time, because my hugely expensive watch no longer tells me the time?

Apple say the battery lasts 72 hours in "power reserve" mode ... ie as long as you don't use the watch. Marvellous. So the battery is good for three days ... as long as you don't use it. So ... why would you bother wearing it?

And it will do lots of the things that your iPhone will do ... except on a teeny weeny screen, so it's harder to see.

Are we all in agreement? This is quite the most useless piece of crap ever made?

The only appropriate response to the adverts for the Apple Watch is ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... aaaah haaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaaaaaaa ... waaaaah haaa haaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

(or am I wrong?)

This is a new market for Apple. They are not a wach company.

This is a new revenue stream for Apple and it will make them extra £billions. You may laugh, but they will be laughing lounder.

I shall link to this thread in the Autumn when Apple reveal how many $billions this accessory has earned them.

Mccfluff, I hope you are not spending your own money.

It is usually a very bad idea to buy the first generation of a new tech product. Early adoptors tend to get their fingers burnt in terms of the product rapidly getting better with version 2 and 3.
