    Nope, I'm allergic to watches. Well, maybe not allergic, but they don't agree with me.

    Something else to charge every 18 hours..... no thanks.

    The android versions weren't any great shakes.

    Apple, being 2nd to the party again may do better, but I doubt it.

    Why would I buy an outdated over priced bit of kit that you can get better versions of from other companies.

    Most useless gadget ever and I am not talking just about apple version. Why the feck would I want it when I got my phone with me 24/7 and to make it even worse, you need your actual phone with those watches to get some sort of functionality from it, so it cant be a stand alone device...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Apple Watch?

    Not at the prices being charged

    No, but they will be useful for identifying people I really want to avoid.

    Waste of money, and if I was in the market for something like the Microsoft band is a much better choice.

    Personally don't see the appeal of smart watches

    Just wear it on your 'good hand'. The 2 will cancel each other out.

    The iwatch, made by apple to help tell time - to replace your iphones clock, which replaced your watch.

    Absolutely, as invaluable a piece of kit as a glass hammer :rolleyes:

    Vinyl ➡️ CD ➡️ MP3

    Is there anything people can't be convinced to buy thrice...?

    or the iWatch 3s at Xmas.

    Nope. I own / use neither a watch nor an iphone, and won't be getting an iwatch.

    I hope people are starting to wake up, The biggest market for apple is probably in Asia, I lived in Hong kong for a bit and they are apple feckin mad over there :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 440 ✭✭creolebelle


    Tough crowd in here.
    Maybe I'll buy it.
    Im looking for a good fitness/activity tracker


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭Kevin McCloud


    Im buying two, one for old time and one for new time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,819 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    did mobile phones not make watches redundant ?

    So bluntly - no -

    I love my iMac and iPhone - but will park the iWatch with the iPad , as not needed - despite all the marketing waffle.

    Will it switch itself off in a years time if you don't buy a software upgrade?

    Can't see the attraction to be honest.

    I think for that money you'd get a much nicer looking watch and you wouldn't need to charge it every day.

    Apple are just flailing around now trying to find a hot new product. There's no chance in hell that I'll be buying this pointless waste of plastic and metal.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭scamalert


    why the F waste money on some watch that need plugging in every day :cool:

    anyway this comment seems right:Next Apple product: The idrug! You inject it right into your brain and you will be able to tell people how great apple is! You will be able to charge yourself by licking electric plugs and pdate yourself! Oh, and when the new model will come out you will die from ioverdose if you don't buy it... :pac:

    Absolutely not. The whole concept is vulgar. I love the look and feel of a quality timepiece. These screenshots aren't of a quality timepiece.

    I've reluctantly come around to the idea that the Kindle has its uses. I certainly won't be having the same road to Damascus conversion on the benefits of being able to use your watch to open the door of a hotel bedroom.

    I love my glow in the dark Adidas watch too.

    Give it a generation. The great Breitling, Rolex and Audemars Piguet will cease to exist as we become even bigger, self-absorbed virtual ****.


  • Administrators Posts: 54,882 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Smart watches will be a thing. There are ones out there now but the Apple watch is the first real deal with a big push.

    The people who don't get the point of it are probably the same people who couldn't understand why you'd ever need a phone to do anything other than call or text back in 2007. :)

    I won't get one cause I don't have an iPhone, but they will bit a hit.

    Not very good then is it. No GPS integrated..

    I just want a PipBoy 2000. These Apple yokes don't have a Gieger counter and this displeases me.

    I believe they are and will be a thing.

    This one however simply isn't it.

    Tbh I think they are behind the curve relying on the brand. Id say there will without a doubt be better ones coming out this year from Asia. For less money.

    How you can promote a credible fitness watch without GPS Integrated is beyond me. Its a must for that type of market

    When a watch/razor comes out, I'll be looking for one, otherwise no fanks!
