Re: Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?
Are you going to comment on the thread or just look to squabble? You close down threads and thats when we do comment on the topic.
I dont think you understand that people in other countries do not have a welfare state. That people dont have children because they cannot afford them. That when you are old nobody will be there for you. People like me cannot rely on my own country. I have to find other ways to survive. I pay a uni pension but need a lot more service to get anything. That is why im careful. I never want be homeless again. It gives me the chill
There is nothing wrong with having a place to live. My attitude is i dont care about speculation. It can stay the same for all i care. I need a place to live. Of course i do a few things to not rely on savings and we both work bloody hard. We cover our own health insurance and have few other things on the go. People should. I worry to fuck and i aint even got kids. A man shoukd invest his heart takes him. I like gold.

Interesting, I have been thinking about silver. Gold and silver are not investments in the traditional sense in the US as they are not taxed as investments but actually fall into the collectable realm. I need to figure how that works. Gold has been coming down lately. Silver has so many industrial uses and I keep hearing about a shortage but I only here that from people trying to sell silver. The one fund I have that has done scary well is a biotech fund. So I'm doing some research before making some changes. I don't consider myself a highly skilled investor so I make sure my investments don't keep me up at night. I understood your comment about investment miles, it actually made sense. Anyway, Apple recently made the Dow Jones and att was taken off. That's kind of the pinnacle for a stock, don't know if that will start to slow it's growth.
Re: Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?
The battery lasts for as little as three hours and the watch doesn't work unless you've got an Apple phone in your pocket. What a piece of shit. Doubtless people will be queueing round the block to buy one and then never fucking shut up about it if you're out with them. Do you know I've got an Apple watch? Do you know what it can do? Look! I don't even need a phone anymore! Except I do or the watch doesn't even tell the time. Fuck me.

I have a Β£20 traditional watch but I am not a huge Apple fan which I already said. Granted it was 3 years ago

Understood, a few of us are critiquing the thing like we are the final say but if it sells the way it does it obviously has positive qualities. I don't even have the internet on my phone but I will eventually. The only thing I'll use it for is to check saddo when I'm out and about. Strange, probably eighty percent of my internet usage revolves around this place. I am on the verge of getting an excellent new job, I say that with hesitation as I need to keep it realistic as it is not a sure thing. Point is, if I get the job it will force me to go more high tech than I'm used to.I really hope I get the job.

It doesn't work properly if you don,t have an iphone, really&:confused: If that's so, it's even worst than what I thought.

This ol' foggy has lost most of his fascination with these gadgets. All I can say is that the era of James Bonds has finally come upon us...

I myself had a little interest in those old chronometer certified watches. I thought they were mechanical wonder. You probably know it's really difficult to make an accurate watch using only mechanical parts so these are exceptional ones...

How do you text on it, or take photos or surf the net? Far more texting is done that phone calls made worldwide. Most global internet usage is now done via mobile devices. Are people going to access the net via a half inch screen? Or watch videos? With a three hour battery? It's a device for tits like google glass.

People in the gym, driving etc infact anywhere it's aggro or illegal to get a phone out in public the I watch works, you make or answer sneaky calls and voice command emails etc so business people in meetings or anyone in general who has to take that urgent call or and that urgent msg also winπ
Don't be scared of the future , duck me if I told you 25 years ago that you'd have a pocket sized phone you could watch movies on you'd say I was insane π
You are insane if you pay all that money for the use you just stated. You have been completely bought into the consumerism that this is normal, needed and sensible.

Call me a bugger but I don'T see how fantastic it is to receive calls from my wrist when I couldn't text properly and have the hell of a time to dial the number because of the small screen when I could simply have a cell phone and a discrete pair of headset to keep my hands free. Not to mention all the other things that we can't do as well as with a cell because of the size of the screen. The Apple watch is to me nothing more than a fancy gadget they are trying to sell us as the future or something premium. Perhaps in 5-6 generations the watch will be worth it, who knows, but at the moment, I'd get one for free that it wouldn't take 5 min that it'd be available on Ebay :D

You can'r lift weights one-handed. If you're driving and you have to put your wrist to your mouth you're still going to get three points. New cars have bluetooth thingys fitted now anyway. It's a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.
