i don't understand why they're trying to make smartwatches look like traditional watches, they will never look as good in comparison and really you're buying the smartwatch for features other than looks and timekeeping. they should've just went for a futuristic looking arm band thing and marketed it based on technology rather than "we made it look kind of similar to a watch so you don't look like a weirdo"

>> No.9606242

>>9605713
Genuinely don't see the point of a smart watch. The only selling point is that you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket.

Firstly, you need your phone in your pocket for the features of the smart watch to function, so why not just look at your fucking phone? You're paying hundreds of dollars to have a phone worth hundreds of dollars not being used in your pocket

2) It really isn't that much effort to take your phone out of your fucking pocket

"According to Apple, "Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant."
IPX7 means that the Apple Watch will be able to withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. In real terms, this means a shower, being out in the rain, or washing your hands, but not activities such as swimming or lounging in hot tubs." damn that sucks

Personally, I'm not a fan of IOS software due to its limited customization. The watch looks fine and all, but why would I buy it, when I can look at better looking, normal watch, or pull my phone out of my pocket.

this anon is right.
apple invests a lot of time/money into making iphones seem exclusive and fashionable, but everyone has one. they're the most generic, normcore phone on the market. they are the northface of phones. I was watching a documentary on Chinese sweatshops and this bitch dressed in rags literally pulled an iphone 5s out of her pocket.

I mean, the marketing is genius. make something seem like it's only for the upper-eschelon but then make it available to everyone. it's disgustingly brilliant. every average joe on the planet is walking around with an iphone, a smug grin planted on his lips, actually believing he's special for owning one.

I don't like pulling out my phone when I'm behind the counter working retail. Looking at my watch allows me to see my texts, emails, and phone calls.
When I'm driving I can glance at my wrist to see when I have to make a turn instead of hearing the annoying gps voice.
I can also control my music without pulling out my phone, which is annoying to do in that situation.
I know that smartwatches aren't very fashionable, but they aren't that bad looking either. I get plenty of compliments on mine for the novelty. They look smaller than you think in real life, so they're a pretty subtle addition. Plus I wear long sleeves a lot, so it's not like anyone notices.
