Would you buy an Apple Watch?
To use it as an activity tracker, to read notifications without taking the phone out of the pocket, to track heartbeat etc. Would you?
I love the apple watch. One of the most useful wearable tech.. I own iwatch3 And I will buy iwatch4
You should use it if you want a control on your health.
If Apple makes iwatch measure blood sugar (without extracting blood) then it will be biggest gift to humanity
from an Apple employee, FUCK NO. It’s an overrated unreliable piece of shit which can barely pass for a HRM. And those idiots who tell you about events, stocks and daily scheduler are just drinking too much Apple koolaid.
What use is it?
I have calendar on it so I can see next meeting, also fitness tracking.
I can see my next meeting on my phone too. Why do I need that on my wrist? And the only fitness tracker I really need is my bathroom scale, which tells me if I'm on track on my fitness goals at the only interval that really matters: daily.
I load music on it. Paired with Bluetooth headphones let’s me go jogging without my phone.
No, companies have not come up with compelling applications that make me want one.
I love the breathing reminder, activity circles, meeting reminders, scribble text messages.
The only thing I don't like is Siri. Siri doesn't understand any thing
No. Partly because I don’t find the utility worth it, and partly because I’m distracted enough by my phone as it is. I’d rather have more time where I’m disconnected from the usual barrage of notifications (I like to keep my phone on do not disturb if I can) and wearing a smart watch is somewhat at odds with that.
The watch helps you get distracted less because you can simply glance at your wrist when a notification comes in rather than have to get our your phone.
The notification IS the distraction. That action, regardless of its source, is what cuts the thread of concentration. Hence leaving my phone on do not disturb. Instead of instantly responding to notifications, I wait until I’m taking a break and then check for updates.
