Dennis says it’s superior to the Apple Watch ... but ... how on earth could it be superior when the Apple Watch already has over 3,000 apps available for it (and growing). Just THAT by itself ... is all you need to know.

Yeah...so? The existence of specialized instruments devoted to accuracy does not belittle having sufficient accuracy built into a device as a convenient bonus feature. If I DO want high accuracy, I’ll get out my fingertip pulse oximeter; insofar as I’m curious about trends throughout the day more than momentary accuracy, what’s built into the Watch will do nicely.

So...it does what the Watch can do, but without everything else the Watch can do.

No, it’s gay. Until it has a set of blue-tooth heads-up display sunglasses (with some sort of 3d finger recognition for control), it isn’t even useable. But then, I say the same thing about smartphones...

The Asus watch is vastly superior....10 days between charges while the crappy watch needs one every day

Just like how flip-phones are clearly superior because they run 10 days between charges while the crappy smartphones need one every day.

Then you should know that this crappy watch will give you crappy readings from its blood oximeter. Apple knows this and is working on it. Otherwise it would be an included feature NOW

Just by the nature of the contact area, this watch will never give good blood oxy readings

Flip phones are superior in that way and they don’t make us laugh with embedded blood oximeters.

It is included. Duh. That’s the point. Turning it on requires FDA permission, which takes a long time and they’re not going to delay sales & delivery for.

So what’s your credentials for evaluating such devices?

Xiaomi Redmi Note...... I don’t use crappy Apple products or phones. I have bought a few then stomped them to pieces. Sent them back to Kook Tim Kook for a refund

“Xiaomi Redmi Note...... I don’t use crappy Apple products or phones. I have bought a few then stomped them to pieces. Sent them back to Kook Tim Kook for a refund”

Dennis, lay off the sauce. Apple won’t refund a dime for physically abused equipment.

As for Xiaomi, it is knockoff Google Android junk. If you’re somehow under the misimpression that Google supports the “gay agenda” less than Apple, you’re totally misinformed. The substantive difference between Apple and Google is that Apple respects privacy, where Google exploits every iota of personal information for profit.

I will say it’s pretty amusing watch every prediction you make crash and burn. An investor could do pretty well simply watching your nonsense and investing in the opposite direction. :-)

We shall see how superior it is by two parameters that is used by business to determine success ... units sold and profits made. When you come back to me with more units sold and more profits ... then you’ll have a starting point for arguing its superiority. You haven’t crossed the threshold yet ... :-) ...

My prediction is that it will never make it to that point. But if it does, feel free to let me know.
