So, what happened? Did these things even make it to the market?
Besides being overpriced, as per being an Apple, what'd people think of them?
I kinda want one, but I heard there's Chink Shit out there for like $50 and about as good.

Is the battery life that piss-poor? I thought Apple marketed that it'd last you the entire day.
Or is it only if you do literally nothing on them? And if so, isn't not doing shit on them the vast majority of the time kinda the point of the device?
Former owner here. It did much more than it needed to do, bottom line. Other issues you'll hear people whine about are some sluggishness and unintuitive UI but ultimately it's just not necessary. Like a second iPhone on your hand. I don't need that much concern weighing on me whether I bump it into a wall and scratch it.
Got a Pebble Time when it was $90. It gets my notifications, it can send messages, and it can activate Siri from my wrist. I don't need anything else.
smart watches are garbage.

Battery is not a major concern, and you can stretch it to two days, but if you take it off every night before bed why not just set it on the charger? You're gonna set it down somewhere.

Just like any other Apple product they are a fashion accessory, Rich people ran out and bought them so they could status signal with it.

This sounds like the right answer.
Given what you actually get out of it, and the insane price, probably means it's only affordable by rich people.
Hopefully richfags will buy enough into it and bring down the price for us poor-to-middle-class people.

And that's supposed to be impressive? My Casio DB-31 has been running on the same battery since 16 years.
So much regret. I even bought AppleCare for $60 so it ended up costing me $665. I would honestly sell it for $300, but no one even wants them.

For what it's worth Anon, 4chan will shit on anyone for ever being open about anything. I wouldn't read into or acknowledge any of their shitposting about it.
I'm happy to see someone is at least taking their first steps on the economic ladder, and is enthusiastic about it. Enthusiasm and a desire to improve is what'll propel you out of minimum wage, and into learning how to provide value for people, and to eventually doing what you love.
Keep at it Anon.

Can't believe its AMOLED and still is this bad.
This kind of crap is why it should have waited at least another year before release because its borderline useless when you're not using it like your phone and killing the battery faster than the speed of light.
Its a timepiece on your wrist, worrying about battery life should be the last thing on your mind.
>put it on charge every night
Some people find this acceptable which is fair enough for them. Realistically its pretty poor and inconvenient. Normies forget to charge shit which is why whenever I'm out with anyone I hear or get asked if I have a portable charger because yes, even though we were scheduled to meet, these people did not think about whether their phone will last a few more hours.
That problem will be worse with something you should slap on your wrist and forget about..at least that's what I imagine.

Do you retards know what technology is becoming? I am glad I get to be a step upove you all, and can manipulate my sheep. :)
Some people got them, but I don't really see many from apple.
The android ones can barely last a weekend and all they do is tell you what notification you got.
Might as well think all notifications are important and pull out your over sized phone.
If you want one because you want to tell the time, you are better off spending the money on a old watch, then it at least looks good.
>>55006332
Personally can't wait for the Time 2 to go retail.
I use my Pebble (Original) as a dumbwatch with custom faces and that shit lasts 40 days with Bluetooth turned off on a single charge. Used to only last 25 days before the new 3.0 Software updates.
Bigger screen + color will be absolute perfection.
>>55006332
>Normies forget to charge shit
I will never understand this. But yea you are right, I experience this every week
>>55006429
Man the bezel will finally be shrunk to an acceptable size, its so good they heard out and improved it.
Slightly upgraded CPU too which (although still single core single thread) should be relatively capable with multitasking so it might pave way for more things running in the background or whatever.
Everything else that was good is kept, its physically almost identical in size, battery life and build is like the time steel ie metal, waterproof to at least 30m and 10days battery life huueeeeeee. Still will run same os with same features so backwards compatable and support for ages woooh. Can you tell I'm excited?
>>55006470
Not like battery life is even ultra shit anymore, most phones will handily go 24hrs+ no problem but STILL IT PERSISTS. I would like to quote someone:

>>55006512
>I just dismiss the low battery notification when it pops up because it gets in my way, and then I forget to charge
literally this. Not to mention that the first pop up on 20% hardly gives you more than a few hours.
Also:
>it's so hard to tell from the battery icon
"Why don't you just activate the percentage indicator so you get the actual value?"
>it's so hard to read and it doesn't tell me how many hours there are left
> plugs in power bank for a quick and healthy 5% charge
> unplugs to show me some stupid pic on instagram
2 minutes later
> gets 20% notification again
> plugs in power bank once again
One charge lasts 2 days for me if I have 55% before going to bed. If it is below that, I charge my phone over night and I can't comprehend how normies are unable of performing this simple procedure. They use their phones so much that they'd have to charge it every night anyway
>>55000245
pretty much useless but i got it as a gift so i can't complain, wear it sometimes.
>>54999808
>Just get a Pebble. Way cheaper and good apps. I will get the Time 2 as soon as it comes out. Battery lasts 10 days and it has a heartrate sensor.
I have the Time and love it and I'm going to upgrade to the Time 2 for the smaller bezel (the current one on the time is kind of fuckheuge).
I get a lot of notifications so I get 5 days battery life but the important thing for me is that I don't have to remember to charge it every night. Even if I forget and it goes "dead" it goes into a mode where it keeps a simple time watchface for another day. And it charges in around ~30 minutes so if I see the battery life on my watch and I know I'll be at my desk for 30 minutes, I just plug it into my PC.

>>55007667
i charge my apple watch every 3 days. granted i don't use it heavily, just to check the notifications, and tell time. i'm okay with the battery life but something like pebble's 10 day battery would obviously be much better

Paid $150 for a moto 360 with the metal wrist band, absolutely love it. I would never pay Apple Watch money for a smart watch. Basically my moto has the same functionality, though with Android (which my phone is - a Nexus 5X) but costs literally half as much. Wireless charging, battery that lasts through the day, doesn't even feel that sluggish all things considered. I like it, it's handy.
But do I need one? No. I don't. But I don't want to be without one, the functionality is something I have gotten used to and now I feel frustrated íf I can't check my text messages/fb messages or emails on my watch. If it's something urgent, I'll see it and reply immediately. If it's something unimportant, I can just ignore it and deal with it later when I feel like it. I can also send text messages when I'm driving or doing something that prohibits the use of my phone.

>I thought Apple marketed that it'd last you the entire day.
Mine can last me 3 days of normal use.
I take it off when I go to bed though, and it just charges on my nightstand, so battery life has never been a concern.
I'd be happy with a thinner design and less battery life really, having week long battery life on a watch you take off once a day anyway is kinda pointless.
I have one. I fucking hate it. I can't sell it because it was a gift from a relative who'd get offended if I got rid of it.
It takes the same amount of time to look at the watch + wait for the screen to turn on as it does to take my phone out of my pocket and turn the screen on myself.
The screen is too small to do anything useful with. The wheel thing is useless and just gets in the way.
Half the time it doesn't even connect to my phone. The fact that you NEED an iPhone for it to work is fucking disgusting.
If I can ever sell it I'm going to just get a pebble. Or a regular fucking watch like a sensible person.
>>55008388
who takes their watch off at night? silent alarms with vibration motors are one of the best features of smart watches, especially with sleep tracking so they wake you up during the lightest point of your sleep cycle so you aren't drowsy all day

It's simple, really - smartwatches just aren't cool. Rich people aren't gonna buy them bacause of Rolex, Omega etc., poor people aren't gonna buy them because they're expensive and trash, and as much Apple wants it, fashionistas aren't going to buy them because Apple Watches look like an ugly toy.
I think Apple made that watch because everyone expected them to, kinda like every other company right now is jumping hoops to release a phone without a headphone jack to appear innovative.
>>55010694
I can see that, but like how
>>55008011
mentioned, it's more about what YOU do. If you need to be in constant communication, or need to save that .2 seconds to check your wrist instead of the object in your pocket, the these meme watches are for you.
I can see them being useful for quickly glancing at notes giving presentations, texts and messages, or telling assistant software what to do in a cool way. Aside from that they're pretty useless, can't think of any other reasons to own one.

Wait... the watch needs an iPhone nearby? What? What the hell is the point in even owning it then?
I'm also sick as shit of technology these days. I spend all my time in front of some kind of screen, and now Apple wants you to carry around 2 of their devices?
My friend got one and wore it for about two weeks and then stopped.
It's just totally stupid because a lot of the notifications require you to take your phone out of your pocket anyway.
