Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?

[Xwetie]

I have an iPhone 5 and I don't pay a cent because it's a work phone

But for the watch? No. I never liked watches, never wore them growing up, and don't plan to start now.

What does the watch do? I guess it does everything a Fitbit or similar device does? But what else? You're not going to watch media on the fucking thing. On such a small surface already, and then all the real estate you'd lose fitting a rectangular picture into a round surface. What is the point of these things?

Apple watch is a total nay

Having a watch worth 25 k dollars though gives you to power of put your dick in any women in England, even the prince Elizabeth

and collecting watches are kinda an investment, buy the right one the value will probably rise! while the nay apple watch will not rise, two types of watches, classy and modern faggot with apple watch and electronic sun glasses,

Peace n out good nite

I can't imagine having something so expensive (not even a few thousands for a Rolex) just hanging their on your wrist. And 25k watch? I'm white and even I would stick someone up for it.

Well 25 k might be a bit to much, even 2.5k is way to much for a watch. I haven't had a watch on me for a long time as i always have my phone on me. I had it on a night out, and i still checked the time with my phone.. it's more like a jewellery.

To any ordinary person that kind of price range is beyond reach. I've never really worn a watch. I mean, when I think of a product I think about use and the simple truth is that I have little use for a watch. I have clocks all around me, so why would I want to look at my wrist? Maybe it is a status thing for some, but that is a vacuous and shallow thing to really care about. The fact that English women might fall for such a gimmick doesn't surprise me. That is a nation addicted to celebrity, status and false idolatry.

You seems to be pretty smart! I agree it's useless to buy things you wont use, good thinking! and i do apology for what i said about british women i take that back, i can't talk for all of them but for one of them though

[Gandalf]

No need to apologise, as I actually think there is likely some truth to what you say. There is also some truth to my comment too, but it is a sweeping statement to be saying that British women are all materialistic shallow whores. Of course, only some of them are. I should add it to my list of modern myths.

I don't know, I'm not into status or impressing people, I still wear tiedyed shirts and jeans but I have a solid gold Rolex and a nice stainless movado along with numerous other timepieces dating to the early 1900. When you think about it, all you really need is a little note on your wrist saying "now" and you will always know the correct time, regardless, I'm hung up on watches and don't plan on stopping, damnit

I don't have a pension fund or excess money to invest.

Everyone needs insurance and a backup plan. It is called responsibility. Some of us need to provide our own health protection and retirement. Or else we die or we starve. You keep cash or rely on the government and that is now the biggest lottery of all. Everyone should have a plan b c and d. There is nothing wrong with investing but i draw the line on a lot of investment as it does make me ill. Oil corporations for instance are bad but I drive! Hypocrite! Sure, but I dont have kids. You buggers are the drain, not me! It all ends with me and thats my contribution to an overburdened planet. I drive because I have to, I dont have to invest in the war machine and I dont. I have tried to be responsible. Unethical? I limit my impact.

Make your mind up Miles.

"There is nothing wrong with investing but i draw the line on a lot of investment"

First you have a go at people buying their own home

and then it turns out.....you have bought your own home

Then you tell us everyone in the UK are mugs for working basic minimum wage and that you would not be allowed back in if you wanted to

and then it turns out you and your wife were offered a well paid opportunity to do so and you turned it down

Then the tired hoary old chestnut of people having kids being a drain ?

Firstly you don't pay UK tax so nobody is taking your precious money away Mr Scrooge

Secondly both my Kids are grown up and working thereby contributing more than you. I don't have the luxury of a backup plan, but I am not moaning about it. You seem to think the world should all be made up of identikit Miles'. Ok we get that you made the decision not to have kids. Has it made you happy ? All it seems to have done is left you with way too much time on your hands.

Then it turns out despite you sporting the traditional cardigan Sports Jacket wearing Proff look, you don't even wear a watch ! Weirdo

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.

I don't even own a cell phone yet because I feel like I don't need it (and in Canada we have the highest prices in the world for a contract, thanks to our monopolistic market) so I don't even see the use of such watch. I mean, to me, it simply looks like an iphone you can't call with with a smaller screen and attached to my wrist.

Fuck it.

[Gandalf]

These things are all nothing more than spying devices anyway. I was trying to figure out my crappy new free phone yesterday and I cannot even get the weather without giving my permanent location to Google. No fricking way. Have you read through the terms and conditions they put upon you? It has all gone too far and if anything we really need a new Luddite movement to bring us back to reason. Pen and paper and store any excess documentation in sealed compartments on the moon.

Dude you rock, no cell phone, that is the shit

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...
