dover Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Anyone pick one up yet? I am debating if I should or if I should wait for the next generation. The prices seem a bit high but then again I have spent a lot more on watches that do not do nearly as much as the Apple Watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think it's neat, like many things. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120747&highlight=Apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Too expensive. If you don't get the big one, the screen is so tiny. Not going to mention Android in here, but Apple is way too costly for what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have heard from many people that the Apple Watch is a typical "first generation" product. Many have reported that the Watch is very stylish and functional but battery life is a HUGE problem (like with many smart watches). After a day or so of moderate use you will most likely be left with 20-15% battery from what I see reported. In the end the decision is up to the individual on if they buy one. If you are a fan of Apple, have a new-ish iPhone, and would like the extra device for workouts and notifications then you will be happy. I think the two big hits I have to give the thing are its price and battery life. The price (to me at least) is complete insanity and only someone with plenty of cash to spend will pick one up at a base price of $350. To me, that is a lot to spend on something that is just an accessory to your phone. If I was still an iPhone user I would wait to pick up the second generation next year. People said that 2014 would be the year of the wearable and in my opinion I feel like across the board the one thing holding them back is battery life at this point. Many companies offer some great options and the software is only getting better by the day, but if you forget to charge these things after a day or so then you better hope you have a spare charger at work or in the car. Here is a good review of the Apple Watch. I think this guy stays neutral for the most part and sticks to the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Couple people at work bought them day one. None kept wearing it outside of a week. "Oh I forgot it" (has regular watch on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 What is the point of a watch these days aside from thinking it's a fashion statement and that people care about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ordered 20 seconds after launch, never shipped by last week so I cancelled. Really glad I cancelled because I didn't want to lose my JB anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3NN3TT Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm a HUUUGE Apple fanboy, but I cannot generate one ounce of interest or desire for the watch. Passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
