Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?

[Xwetie]

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

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

[Gandalf]

You seem a little different in that regard though, Walrus. You are not wearing it as a seduction device or saying to people 'Look at my watch, now kneel before me'. You just seem to have a thing for watches and collect them and that's perhaps a different thing.

Do you really own Apple shares though?

[walrus]

Yes, but I had a chance to get in when they were very low and I went a different direction. I actually think I may get a few more shares, I think they still have a lot of upside and an incredibly loyal following, mind you, I don't own any Apple products but they are a great company.

No different than Gold. They are both morally indefensible, unethical investments. People die making or mining them, and you and Walrus profit at their expense. Carry on

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.

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.

[Kirkland Laing]

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