Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?

[Kirkland Laing]

You wouldn't have to dial a number it'll be voice activated so you would just tell it to "Call Dave" and you wouldn't have to bring it to your mouth to talk on it either, it's got a speaker and a microphone built into it so you could just keep both hands on the wheel.

Fuck me do you lot still wear flares?

@Master i've only just got an iphone and didn't buy it and refuse to spend £600 on a phone, my GF gave me her's as she got an upgrade the other month and after years of using Samsung Android Apple wipes the floor 100% against any Android phone, My sis has the top HTC and the Iphone is still way better, just so much slicker and user friendly.

Only thing i don't like is all the fucking about with itunes and how much longer it takes to get stuff from your phone to your PC.

It still only works when you've got an actual phone in your pocket. Otherwise you can't make calls. And of course you can't text or access the internet in any meaningful way. Other than that it's perfect and really useful.

You don't have to have your iphone in your pocket infact not even on your person just close enough to pick up the signal which i think is probably gonna be a few meters - the watch isn't gonna be joined to the phone with a fucking wire

Think bluetooth or wifi and how those signals connect between 2 devices or device and router and the penny should drop.

It's 2015 not the early 1980's

And mark my words, one day the norm (just like we all now have smartphones) will be to have a device on your wrist that you can easily communicate to other people with - whether you chaps like it or not smartphones will simply be phased out and the technology/electronics will just get smaller and smaller making this as normal as pulling your Mobile/Cell out of your pocket and making a call today

I can turn my Sky box onto different channels without wires or having the remote in my pocket it's fucking great and i have been doing it for years now

I see. So if you're out and about you don't have to have your phone in your pocket. Just a few metres away is fine. Maybe you can employ somebody to carry it round for you so you don't have to have your phone in your pocket but you can still get to it easily when you want to make a call or text somebody or access the internet or whatever. And then every three hours they can go off and recharge the watch for you when it runs out of battery and then ring you on your phone to find out where you are so they can bring your watch back to you. Or you could just carry your phone in your pocket like you do now! For fuck's sake.

Screens are getting bigger, not smaller. Nobody is going to trade in a six inch screen for a tiny watch screen. Maybe people will start strapping six inch screens onto their wrists!
