if the watch lasts a couple days and costs less than whatever is too much, i will buy a watch

but i fully expect the v2 watch to laugh maniacally as it chews the castrated testicles of the v1

but for real does the watch just not need my thumbprint for apple pay? how is info getting out of the secure enclave?

speculation:
i guess you could put it on, and scan you fingprint on phone. then it monitors health to know the watch never changed hands

the first iphone was an appless turd.

first ipad was a fat tub of slow lard with no pixels

first watch does too little to justify price and seems to have poo poo battery life

but did you see this:

quote:

just wanting to see the time on the display will mean the watch can eke out up to 78 hours of use

18 hours =

quote:

90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 30-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth

also:

quote:

Audio Playback Test: Up to 6.5 hours
Workout Test (with heart rate sensor): Up to 7 hours

i will agree that early ipad wasn't total poo poo as it could play netflix and do skype video chat and weighed a lot less than the laptops of the day

basically, i think similar conversations were had about ipads when they came out

but it was at least more functional than a phone, not just a less functional thing in slightly more convenient location

If your battery gets too low, Apple Watch automatically switches into Power Reserve mode so you can continue to see the time for up to 72 hours.
:eyepop:
