rear end Catchcum posted:What's the expected battery life or do we not know that yet No one knows for sure but rumours are it will be bad, like moto 360 "can't get through a day without being off most of the time" bad. Which seems in line with how high-quality the screen looks.

Whirlwind Jones posted:Where are these "rumors"? quote:According to our sources, Apple opted to use a relatively powerful processor and high-quality screen for the Apple Watch, both of which contribute to significant power drain. Running a stripped-down version of iOS codenamed SkiHill, the Apple S1 chip inside the Apple Watch is surprisingly close in performance to the version of Apples A5 processor found inside the current-generation iPod touch, while the Retina-class color display is capable of updating at a fluid 60 frames per second. http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/22/apple-targets-for-apple-watch-battery-life-revealed-a5-caliber-cpu-inside/ quote:Apple was originally shooting to eke out an entire day of battery life from Apple Watch. Obviously that's not all active use; in fact, the company is said to be shooting for 2.5 to 4 hours of active application use with the screen turned on. That'll vary depending on how heavily you use it, of course. But since the wearable's display will often be turned off throughout the day and because the iPhone handles a lot of computing tasks Apple is apparently hopeful that the watch can make it from morning until you place it back on the wireless charger at night. 19 hours of combined active and passive use seems to be the bar as of right now. http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/22/7873649/apple-watch-battery-life-will-be-just-like-any-other-smartwatch Not exactly hard to find...

The watch will have sapphire glass but yeah poo poo happens. I smash my smartwatch into doorknobs all the time, and with my Samsung I managed to unclasp it and toss it face first into concrete just by standing up on stairs (snagged on the handrail).

All the old ladies at work know about the Apple Watch. Doesn't sound like they're interested, but they're aware and that really shows the marketing power Apple brings to the table. I've been wearing smart watches for a long time now but it was just a weird glowing watch to them, no curiousity.

rear end Catchcum posted:My biggest hurtle is spending so much money on something that will be replaced the year after and possibly hard to sell. And if the bands aren't compatible well then gently caress. And that's not out of the realm of possibility given how many different chargers and cables apple goes through. This might be  lack of supply effect but I've had no problem selling smart watches for close to what I bought them for on eBay (Samsung Gear Fit, Samsung Gear Live, Moto 360).

I actually do use my nose to activate my G Watch R for voice control sometimes. The screen, that is. I must look super cool doing it.

I think trying to cram apps into a watch is backwards thinking. It's not supposed to be another phone. It should tell you the time, use voice control and show notifications. My only complaint about current smart watches is how ugly they all are.

Agronox posted:Wait, really? Have you guys seen the Moto in the wild? The thing looked huge. I can't imagine any but the largest of women wearing it really. My watch is bigger than the 360 and it would look silly if it was any smaller. People are different sizes and I'm not especially huge. I just took this pic

Haggins posted:I just hate going to the mall or other hard to park crowded places Apple stores are typically located. My mall is completely hosed all the time. It seems like they have plenty of parking but I have to fight like it's Black Friday for spots in the boonies. I don't mind walking but it takes probably 15-20 minutes to get to the store then about the same back. Including time finding a spot, going to and from the store, doing what I need to do in the store, I'm pushing 2 hours wasted. I was in Portland on easter weekend and the city block-long Apple Store still was packed with people when everyone should've been home with their families talking about Jesus's sacrifice and stuff.

RVProfootballer posted:The Moto 360 was pretty well received because people actually liked how it looked and, like the Apple Watch, the worries about battery life were overblown. An "Asus Zenwatch" also seems to have gotten good reviews, though I don't know much about it. Obviously those aren't Sony or Samsung, but they are definitely "someone like Sony or Samsung." The 360's battery was really, really bad at launch and fixed in an update to make it passable (if you consider the screen turning off every two seconds passable) later on. People just love the way it looks, because it is far and away the best looking smart watch, and overlook everything else about it.

io_burn posted:I'd love to be a fly on the wall of whatever meetings they were discussing their original product allocations because I have no idea how you'd even do that with a totally new product lineup with any kind of accuracy beyond "I don't know just make a bunch." Even trying to analyze similar products seems crazy because I don't even know what you'd compare it to because no smart or fitness watch has ever been so aggressive about elbowing its way into a "fashion item" or whatever the appropriate buzzword is. The concern is usually making too many, not making too few. Android Wear has pretty much been a bust sales wise (i love the product personally) so they were relying completely on brand/marketing to hit it big.

Three Olives posted:And is it a really good insult? I was bored at work a few weeks ago and played along with some scumbag Indian place trying to get me to install malware on my PC. After he caught on that I was dicking with him he started calling me a sister loving cocksucker that eats poop or something and I was like drat I really wish I had some sort of insult that cuts really deep at some Indian piece of poo poo scammer. I feel like I should know more culturally specific epithets now that we live in a global village. Calling them a Paki seems effective in the three British commonwealth countries I've lived in. Same goes for calling a Kiwi an Aussie or a Canadian a Yank. We hate the tribe we're closest to. I'm married to a half Indian whose family is from Kenya, that gets tricky. "You're from the east side of Nairobi!"
