It seems like the new pebble timeline feature will be a better way to view upcoming events and stuff compared to the cal glance

That is simply not true. Not true in general. Maybe you have that experience specifically, but that is not the general pebble user experience.

The whole "randomly not working" thing was an issue that persisted across both the Pebble and Pebble Steel as well as different iterative iPhone releases. Seemed pretty common amongst friends with Pebbles too.

I am a current user and I have 3 friends with them and never have any complaints. There was one time when my pebbles battery died and the pairing process took two tries to connect (with both devices needing to be hard reset) but since the software update pebble put out a few months ago I've had nothing but a flawless experience.

HOW TO USE THE APPLE WATCH: A GUIDE FOR THE TERMINALLY DIM
|
I got my Apple Watch today. A 38mm aluminum with the blue band. Canceled my space gray Sport. I like it thus far. Not really any complaints yet, but I didn't know what to expect anyhow, so I feel satisfied. Seems fairly simple to use. I picked up on it in a matter of minutes. Also, the Tomagotchi Classic app has a companion app. Which should be justification enough for purchasing an Apple Watch.

You can be right about the so-called home button having multiple functions without endlessly rolling in your own poo poo about it.

Do me a favor - go to the app carousel and open some random app that's not the watch face. Then click the home button once to go to the app carousel again and open a different app that's also not the watch face. From this app, double click the home button and see where it takes you. My guess is it will just take you back to that first app you opened, as per the Apple guide.

The Pebble is great and all, but the way it connects to your iPhone is beyond jank and requires an odd ritual of rebooting the watch and your phone on a near-daily basis to work reliably. I have to say this is both not my experience and not how Pebble works on iOS. It's how it worked with Android before Google got their act together but Pebble ties into the Apple Notification Center Service which is system level: https://developer.apple.com/library...troduction.html It handles everything from Pebble to cars, actually the Apple Watch probably uses a version of it.

My guess is it will just take you back to that first app you opened, as per the Apple guide. On an Apple touchscreen based device the screen with apps on it has always been the home screen. On a traditional watch it could be argued that the screen that tells the time is traditionally the home screen. The Apple Watch is a mix of both, and apps can be easily launched from either screen if you take 30 seconds to set your Watch up to make it useful to you. Pressing the digital crown will take you directly to whichever one of these two home screens you launched the app from, regardless of how many menus deep you are within a particular app. Therefore it quite clearly functions like a home button. You also get automatically returned to the watch face every time you let the screen go to sleep if you choose to set it that way. Your original point was that the device was unintuitive. It isn't. You can continue making GBS threads up this thread by arguing about a device you have extremely limited personal experience with, or you can stop making yourself look like a complete moron. Your choice

I don't care dude as long as your experiences aren't exaggerated or fabricated. You were ragging on a feature that is basically the same way Apple handles it and that's lovely. Misinformation is lovely.

You aren't wrong here, even though you flip-flop on the fact there is a "home" button, but there isn't necessarily just one home screen depending on how you like to think about watches or whatever stupid argument you're trying to make. But my original point was not that the Watch UI is unintuitive, I simply mentioned that I read about it being unintuitive. My main gripe, with my limited experience, is that it seemed frustrating to have to go through so many steps to be able to access Glances, which are touted as really quick and easy things to access on the fly. The fact that these can be only accessed from the Watch face, which isn't always just one or two taps away, is all I was bringing up.

I'm amused by the latest tech blogger circlejerk of "No activation lock = muggers on the hunt for Apple Watch." Watch thieves aren't going to be specifically targeting Apple Watches. High-end watches are worth far more, are far easier to flip, and are way more common. I mean, a gold Rolex is going to be worth at minimum 3x what an Apple Watch Edition is worth, and even ultra-common stainless Omegas, Tags, and similar are worth more than an Apple Watch.

A plausible argument is that your average mugger isn't going to be able to tell the difference between a luxury watch and a knockoff/cheap watch while it's pretty easy to tell whether somebody has an Apple Watch on their wrist.

e: ^^^^io_burn posted:Wait, are you saying you think there's more Apple Watches in the wild than there are luxury watches? loving obviously there are more regular watches than Apple watches out there, but I don't think watch aficionados are going out mugging people for their poo poo. People know Apple Watches are hot right now, and they're easily distinguished from some other type of watch which may or may not be valuable enough to be worth the trouble/risk. In the short time that the AW has been out, I've seen/noticed more of them than I've ever noticed someone's gold Rolex.
