The biggest thing holding me back on this (and any smart watch really) is battery life. Charging my phone every night is something I've come to accept, but I'm not sure I'll be able to handle that on a watch. I wear mine every day, and I expect it to tell me the time 24/7. Maybe if they figure out a way to extend the battery with the charge generated by humans I'll grab one.

Three Olives posted:I wear my Fitbit to bed, occasionally I will pass out with my Wear or Pebble on but end up getting up in the night and taking it off. I just can't see people sleeping with something bigger than the Charge nor wanting to. I've slept with a large watch on for the past decade. It's something you just get used to.

Hot Dog Day #82 posted:I likely won't be buying a smart watch until its pedometer/exercise features are almost on par with the dedicated units like Fitbit or Jawbone. I recently bought a Fitbit Charge HR and I am pretty taken with it, and I actually find it's linking to the phone and telling me about my incoming calls more useful than I thought it would be. Having a smart watch would be great, but for the cost of an Apple Watch I don't really want to be wearing two units. You realize the fitbit isn't completely accurate either, right? This has just as much of a chance of being equally semi-accurate.

I'm not sure how the boarding pass will work. All of the airports I've been to have the scanner facing almost straight up, or slightly pointed towards the TSA agent. Do I need to twist my wrist around really awkwardly to make it scan?

monkeu posted:The sport model is the cheapest and therefore the best model for people who want it exclusively as a fitness tracker. It's not marketed as "rugged" and definitely not as a swimming watch, so I'm not really sure what you're rambling about. Sports generally require a certain level of "ruggedness", so it probably shouldn't have the word sport attached to it.

monkeu posted:Yeah and that's exactly why I posted a link to an SPI belt. They're fully elastic - including the pouch you put your phone in - so it's held snug and flush against your waist. I can jump up and down and my phone won't move at all. I've been using mine for over a year now and heaps of my runner friends have gone out and bought their own after trying mine. I can't get over the fact that it's a fanny pack with a tighter fit. I'll stick with my arm band, it doesn't bother me.

monkeu posted:(and not that they're delivering the best that's technologically possible while still maintaining their desired form factors, prices point and profit margins) Unfortunately their crazy profit margins have hampered their ability to deliver the latest technology has to offer. There was some pretty crazy battery technology at CES (organic batteries, 2,000 mAh recharge in 3 minutes!), but it would eat up so much money. I understand that they have shareholders to answer to, but so much more could be done if they cut those margins.

shodanjr_gr posted:So just tell the Apple store person that you don't need help and you're just trying the thing on? Also, I'm not sure what kinds of Apple Stores you guys do your shopping in, but I've been in 4-5 of them around the US and never, not once, had one of the employees feel in any way pushy or try to annoyingly upsell me. Apparently I find the stores that often have as many employees as customers in the store at the same time. I've had the pushy thing in all stores I've been in except for one, and this is across 7 states.

shodanjr_gr posted:Other watches have 1/10th of the functionality and features that are on the drat things don't actually work (e.g. I have not read a single review of an Android Wear device which said that the heart rate sensor operated correctly and/or was in any way useful). My Moto 360 HR monitor was almost as accurate as my chest strap (which I hated wearing), and it synced with my fitness apps. What else would I need it for other than fitness?

enMTW posted:They don't write about fashion, though their review was closer to doing so in comparison to the rest of the tech press. The fashion section of their website says otherwise. I think you need to accept the fact that some people might have differing opinions, and just because they don't line up with the majority doesn't mean they're wrong. Fashion is subjective, not a scientific report. People can have opposite opinions and both be equally right.
