What about the Apple watch?
- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoThe Apple Watch seems to have suddenly found its pace. I am seeing them everywhere, around here. I suspect that quite a few are SEs and maybe last year's model, but I do see a lot of Ultras.
- ghaff 1y agoBattery does seem to be a limiting factor and I don't wear mine unless I'm doing activities where it's especially useful. But, for a lot of people, something else to charge doesn't seem a big impediment.
- ghaff 1y agoWhen we heard young people don't wear watches any longer at the time. And certainly many people didn't think yet another bluetooth earphones were anything to get excited about. AR does seem to be a potential big deal. But the tech and implementation probably has a ways to go before it's interesting outside of a bubble audience.
- petre 1y agoIf people don't wear watches, they probably wouldn't wear scuba gear either. Unless AR comes in rose tinted glasses.
- petre 1y agoWhat about it? I'm not going to recharge my watch every night. Yawn.
- spookie 1y agoYeah, we have basically infinite battery on "dumb" watches, as long as you use them. You know, so you can rely on them. The Apple Watch to me just seems like a worse earbud. If I want to be that interrupted in tge middle of something might as well hear the thing and not have to look at it.
- macintux 1y agoI never had any interest in wearing a watch to bed. Still don’t, although theoretically I could charge it for a few minutes in the evening to make that possible. The Watch has helped me lose 30 pounds, has significantly helped motivate me to exercise more, and has let me keep my phone on silent mode for at least 5 years now. For me, it’s a great device.
- petre 1y agoI have a Garmin with roughly the same functionality and I only need to charge it every other week. If you use the GPS the battery gets drained in about a 6 hour activity, but I've recharged it at a refuge while eating.
- macintux 1y agoI understand, and I don't care. I charge my watch overnight, and if I don't have a charger, I can power it off overnight and still have juice for the next day. It's simply not a big deal for me.
- NetMageSCW 1y agoI think that roughly is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Part of the point is that Apple doesn’t do “roughly”.
- jen20 1y agoI don't personally sleep with my watch on, so I just charge it every night. But it actually only takes about 15 mins to charge a decent amount, so if I did I'd just charge it while I was in the shower...
