There's no way I'd get a computer wrist watch. Useless.
Yep, if you can't see it becuase the screen is too small then it's worthless to me.
I ditched my watch in college when I figured out I could always count on the guy or gal I was with to answer the question “What time is it?”
I always find it humorous how we measure things in existential terms - our own experience, feelings, and preferences. We wonder why our world seems so pragmatic.
I recall when Apple released the original iPhone. I thought it ridiculous and useless, with really no desire for it (and I have long been an Apple fan with a string of Apple computers in my stable). I had stepped up to a Samsung Blackjack II and that was almost more “smart” than any phone I thought was even usable.
I’m now on my 4th iPhone - an iPhone 6+. It is now hard to imagine doing all that I do without such a device.
I still wear a watch, and feel lost without one. I actually am not opposed to the idea of an Apple Watch - but have a lot of the same concerns as others have posted - the price vs. long-term usefulness. It would be little more than a fancy accessory to my iPhone. I just cannot justify the price for something that will be, as everything else in the tech world becomes - obsolete in short order. If I’m going to pay $350+ for a watch, I had better have the same, fully-functional watch 5 years, 10 years down the road. Even if were no longer fashionable/in style, I would still have a working and nice timepiece. What happens to that Apple Watch, regardless of price? It becomes nothing useful at all.
But there are plenty who find these little devices with their tiny screen and relatively limited functionality (though arguably a LOT more function than competing models from other makers) - and folks who just cannot wait to fork over a bunch of money for them. A few million so far.
By the way - the reason I have the iPhone 6+, after just upgrading to a 6 on opening day of sales? Bigger screen is easier on my eyes... so I understand that part of your post.
