What I find so very interesting is how these types of discussions go
on and on about new products, how some people state they would never buy
it, yada yada yada.
At the end of the day, what is the point? Don't like it? Its too
heavy. Too big. Too expensive. Too small. Too cheap.
Name a product that you are forced against your will to buy. Name one.
I am not going to buy the Apple Watch simply because I have no need
for a watch. Who cares? No one cares. Right and I don't care if some of
you do not want to buy it either for any reason. Its not important.
The Apple Watch may well be a nice product. But it sure as hell is
not a "must-have" product. Mankind has survived without it for thousands
of years. (smiles)

Come on, guys. It’s a small device that you can wear on the wrist. Don’t you
see any potential there at all? The remote control you’ve always wanted?
Doesn’t a new remote control interfere with the narrative that people are
sitting too much?
The around-the-house communications device for the friends and family while
your phone is docked and not weighing you down? Even the need for an iPhone is
not so much of a deal, if the watch proves useful outdoors, because any place
that you would go already sees you needing the phone for phone functions,
regardless; your watch will always tether to a local phone, wherever you happen
to be.
So, we are supposed to want to buy a new iPhone, but we aren’t supposed to want
to have to touch it. We need to git a watch so we don’t actually have to
directly use our new iPhones. I still am finding their messaging confusing..
So I preordered. I’ll take the leap. Why not? It might just be my imagination,
but even now I have more fondness for my iPods than my iPhone as a music
player—what’s to say the watch won’t make some of the things that are made
clumsy by the need to pull out my phone and that I do all the time more
enjoyable?
You don’t want to have to handle your new iPhone.
Actually, I think that there are applications that a wearable would make
easier to use. But, I think those applications are limited.
, yes, I do think something has changed in the way Apple prioritises things;
this product seems far more strained, for lack of a better word, and that may
well be the result of executive decision-making that tends towards company
growth rather than user satisfaction.
It looks to me like Apple trying to emulate Google.
Well, anyway, I’m especially looking forward to handling incoming notifications
while I’m on the toilet. :)
Wow! Now I’m listening.
