Yeah that comment was intended more about getting the newest version of any phone, just because it came out on a certain day.
I don’t use much data because I have internet at home and am here most of the time since I am self employed. Mine is an ON5, I think just a stripped down version of galaxy 550
That’s how I see it as well. When I see somebody with something I can’t afford, I don’t see them as gluttonous or wasteful.
I’m grateful to the people who are wearing the Apple Watch now, thus getting it improved to a point that eventually it may be cost effective for my purposes. Maybe the watch will one day do everything the iPhone does now. If it can project an image onto a surface (like a wall or whiteboard), to allow for a display larger than the watch face, the technology will really take off. Something like that would be very expensive at first, but as more people buy it, the price would come down, and the functionality would go up. Win/win!
What?
Huh?
Please to 'splain. I don't know what that is, and can't imagine it. Details please?
Yes! You see it too...:)
Are you suspect correctly, sir! A well thought out post.
Why, thank you...
The “taptic engine” on the Apple watch pulses your wrist to signal events.
https://www.quora.com/How-does-Apple-Watchs-taptic-engine-work
It’s been used in other Apple devices like trackpads, and was miniaturized to fit in the Watch. It vibrates or pulses. On certain messages you’ll get a pulse on your wrist, instead of a ringtone or buzz that would disturb others. When I use it with GPS map functions and come towards a freeway exit or turn, it will pulse my wrist while announcing to turn left or right. Very handy so you won’t miss an exit on the freeway or a hidden driveway entrance. Especially handy for wives who keep their iPhone in their purse and won’t feel a vibrating phone, but will feel the Watch vibrate or pulse.
Sound like nice cars! :)
And yeah, I never understood used.
Even TWO years old you can save like 7k or even more sometimes.
5 years or more forget about it
even my great z28 and 350z were 3 and 4 years old when i got them
can go two or three days without a charge.

As I said , useless as a watch ,, my watch goes about 4 years on a $0.99 battery.
I didn’t need one, not having worn a wristwatch for 20 years or so.

You proved my point , you do not use a watch therefore the “watch” function of the iWatch is irrelevant to you... it isn’t a watch it is a bluetooth gadget.
The Pentium pro came out in ‘95. Just sayin.
Social-sexual hierarchy. There are many gamma “conservatives”. Anyone who gets wedgied up about what phone people are purchasing has “secret king” issues.
Oh, I like that.
No, you got it all wrong. I didn't need one before, getting the time from other numerous gadgets I carried or used. But, after buying an Apple Watch, I greatly appreciated the time features in addition to the other apps in use. I don't have to see the watch face, I merely tap it and it verbally tells me the time. I can't do that with any of the other gadgets I had that display the time. Very useful when I need my eyes on something else, I just tap it and it announces the time. So no, the "watch" function on the Apple Watch is far better than most timepieces.
I mentioned the bit about wives having phones in their purse. I used to get annoyed at my wife when I would repeatedly call her and get no response - she would claim the phone was in her purse and she couldn't hear or feel it. After we got a pair of Apple Watches, no more problems. I text or call, she feels it on her wrist, rolls her wrist and responds. You can talk directly via the Watch, or dictate to Siri to send a response. When driving, I tap my Watch and tell Siri "Call my wife", it does so and we carry on a conversation via the Watches. No more fumbling for a phone in her purse.

Some things I have others try it out or look it up elsewhere. Just in case it’s something to crash my devices! Long ago, in my early days of being a systems engineer at the journeyman level, I was working on a large IBM mainframe servicing thousands of customers. So I’m trying to remember some console commands before applying some changed systems code, and a co-worker tells me to enter “quiesce”. As operators watched, I entered it and to my horror it stopped everything in it’s tracks - batch programming, telecommunications, payroll, everything. Co-worker laughing, and I caught heat for disrupting uptime. After that, I made sure I knew exactly what each command would do.
