Apple Watch

rockmonkeysc

I know every new Apple product is the greatest creation in the history of the human race but what the hell is the Apple watch for? It appears to have no real use and some of the most pointless features apple could think of, such as Youtube on a 1" screen, emails on a 1" screen, anything on a 1" screen. It does show the time though.
Maybe it's to use as a back up when your iphone battery has died (usually around mid morning).

Sorry, at least the post you clicked on hadn't gotten that far off topic, yet

It was interesting to me, until I saw the pricing, it would ned to be sub-£200 to be at all appealing, it's pricing starts at $350, so will probably cost circa-£300 here. Way too much.

Sadly I work with and deal with Apple quite a bit. They're ar$es. If it's $350, it'll be £350.

Basically, it's the same as the Pebble watch, but it's a nicer interface, with touch screen, and a few other nice bits. Difference is, the Pebble lasts about 6/7 days before it needs recharging. Apple just said 'it has a good battery life'...

compared to what? My car, then that's great, compared to my iPhone................. bugger

I doubt they'd have made such a big deal of the charger if you didn't have to use it very often.

I get three days battery life from my Samsung Galaxy S4 and that does everything an iPhone does but also has a bigger screen. Does the iPhone just have a really small battery?

Lewis A

Yes, I believe there was also a widespread fault with the 5's battery where it degraded very quickly.

You mustn't use your Galaxy much then... we have them as business phones and I'm needing a full charge by midday!

doesn't look at as much porn as you/most crudders do?

rockmonkeysc

I stick to relatively normal porn involving very few animals. Does that help?

I have one of these, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bluetooth-Sm ... a9a&_uhb=1
and it does all of the stuff you want it to do with the added bonus of looking like a 70's TV star by talking at your wrist! Oh and it was under £50

Looks like they borrowed the design from this...

Still, people (read: twats) will still flock to buy them like all the other over-hyped Apple products.
