Hi All, I’m that guy who wrote that satirical experience at the apple store to fumble with a dead watch before arrival, unlike a dead on arrival watch. Don’t know which one is better. To be sincere, I yesterday pushed a button for the space grey 42mm with space grey link bracelet, the most expensive one. This is not because I like fashion, it’s because the sleekest most discrete and functionally solid one seems to be the most expensive. And since I wish or wanted to or was going to use it everyday by trying lots of tests coding apps for it, I thought it might be better to do it right while I’m there. So I pressed the button, but now I’m hard pressed to press yet another button, the cancel order one. More and more of my sighted friends, a few of my VIP friends and article after article of the trends going on, from apple going to bed with wall street as opposed to when jobs was there, apple becoming less focused on real experiences but increasing a bucket load of bullshit experiences, sending luxury brand fahsionistas, famous singers etc on a long list to wear a custom watch no one will be able to get anyway, as marketing tools instead of those really imaginative and creawtive ways jobs and his team used to have to make it dreamy, fun and edgy, from all this pep talk about the best this and that, I find the apple experience to be fading into a set of what used to be great advances to rushing to get something out. Read the article below, it really drives it thoroughly. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3042987/you-guys-realize-the-apple-watch-is-going-to-flop-right And now, going through my assignments in higher maths and artificial intelligence, I kind of see the watch as something I’ll probably leave on a desk to gather dust after a month or so of charging it all the time just to get text notifications, a few haptic pokes from fb or plain getting self conscious of lifting my arm to ask siri something, of which half the stuff will be erroneous anyway. There’s far more interesting stuff to do, such as use that 1600 AUD dollars to buy an extra 64 raspberry 2 mini computers with which I can apply my knowledge in A.I and do way more cool shit than talk to my watch for the weather and be its energetic slave, just because people said its gorgeous looking. Function over form. I think I’m off to find a different, less expensive (like a tenth), more simple and battery efficient health band, the jawbone up 4. Really, I wanted to jump on this but in the end my intuition says “fuck it, not worth the bucks”.
