Anyone else's Apple Watch make them look stupid in public?

[BarracksSi]

thanks! that doesn't solve the lag to save issue, but I certainly helps with the sweaty swiping. I love Force Touch, but holy hell is it not intuitive.

The good thing about force touch is that you can't get lost with it. Worst that can happen is that you go back to what you were doing.

It should automatically save, too, if you put your hand back down after ending the workout.

Its not for everyone but I personally like using my watch in public and showing it off. Ill purposefully take it out when I don't need it to show it off. I get a lot of questions and compliments on it.

That's kind of weird. Pretty narcissistic.

Oh my god!!! I seem to have a man bun then too. But I have this hair style for more than a decade now. Does this make me patient zero?

No kidding, me too. I must admit though, when I go to a coffee shop with my MacBook, my white headphones, my apparently "in style" hairdo, and now an Apple Watch, I start wondering if it's all gotten out of hand. LOL That's when I start getting a little self conscience...and I'm in freakin' Portland!

Hipster!

Hipster!

No kidding. The funny thing is, what people would call a "hipster" in much of the country is basically just a "guy," here. Real hipsters here look like they're from the 1890s.

I try not to judge based on looks but it inevitably happens. I'm surrounded by liberal beta-males all the time.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. I guess I'm probably more of the liberal alpha-male variety. LOL

Walk into the gym, raise my wrist to start a workout using the workout app, and I just stand there, with my wrist in the air, like an idiot while the application loads, then for the watch to registers my finger pushes and then the app starts a workout. A good 15-25 seconds pass by..


Raise to respond to a text?.... I've stopped using the watch for anything other than a watch due to the fact that I look like a clown just standing there waiting for my watch to catch up. And these are Apples OWN native apps. I can understand if I was using Google Maps or something. But WOW.. This thing sucks. If I had not gotten it for free, I would have returned this for sure. It makes for an awesome watch given its look and different faces. But besides telling me I have a new text (while simultaneously DRAINING my cellphones battery thanks to Bluetooth) when my phone is in my jeans or bag... This watch is proving less and less useful as time goes on.


Using Hey Siri, I'll spare the execution on this one and just not bother. But LMAO at this feature.

Honestly.... Thanks for the funny thread!

Others here, may give you a hard time cause that's what the apologists do, but I've been going to the gym daily year after year, part of my lifestyle since I was a kid, and nothing has ever caused the weird looks, as an Apple watch worn by an Apple show off.

I know. I'm a liberal atheist musician, but also a business owner who loves eating meat, driving sports cars, buying Rolex watches...until the Apple Watch. LOL

That's exactly how I use watch and no I don't feel like an idiot, in fact that's why I bought it.

Undercut - It's official then. I am a Hipster. Zero-Hipster.

 

[xDKP]

I am in my 50's and have no idea what a man bun is. It that something like dreadlocks up and under a nylon cap? Man you make me feel even older.

Ha ha ha I'm 30 and had to google Man Bun! Damn those things ...

Love my AW for running, the gym and everywhere else - use it if you love it, don't if you hate it. Pretty simple

Sell it and get a nice watch mate, just buy a Garmin for exercise.
