Which watch standards?
The watch standards that have existed as long as time has been kept on the wrist?
Which watch standards?
You obv haven't tried one? I use mine simply for obv the time, messages and apple pay anything else is a bonus YMMV.Wonder many out there are like me who hasn't worn a watch in decades, thinks this is a redundant but limited dongle accessory for phone, has a display even smaller and less useful than iPhone 4/4s and don't care for the hassle of charging another device every night? To get me to even consider it has to look classy, have smarts and at least a week of battery life with always on display.
The truth is not hate. It’s just interesting how people fall all over them for their model. The thing is, their flagship sales have been much lower since they have been using more of their own designs knowing that Apple will sue them if they go down that road.Do you feel good in your world of hate?
Samsung just has a different approach. And is very successful by the way
I’ve moved from taking off my Watch (series 5) to shower or wash dishes - anything water related. I normally shower after working out and don’t want to disrupt the heart rate tracking after my workouts, so I just keep it on. And I’ve been wearing it to bed now too, so I’m only charging it in the morning while sitting at my desk. It is crazy just how much it’s become more than a watch.I feel naked without my Apple Watch. The only time I take it off is to shower, wash dishes, or charge. It is probably on my wrist 21-22 hours a day.
I sleep with mine as well. I like the silent haptic alarm.I’ve moved from taking off my Watch (series 5) to shower or wash dishes - anything water related.

That's not a big idea. That's throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks just so that people like you can defend Samsung by saying "well Samsung did XYZ in product number 439248 several years ago!".
Samsung's way of making products is by releasing as many products as they can think of (whether they're good for the user or not) or by blatantly copying Apple. See my previous post. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...bles-market-across-2020.2288416/post-29690117
Apple's way of making products is by figuring out what's good for the user. They're not always right (see Mac Pro 2013), but they sure as hell don't release half baked ideas as much as Samsung.

Apple invented the modern smartphone and operating system while everyone else was ripping off Blackberry. So does that mean all smartphones after them are copying?So when Apple uses big screens, or OLED screens or adds LTE to their watch, or an always on display which Samsung was already doing, then is Apple copying? When Apple introduces the Pencil (pen) for the tablets, or Qi charging that Samsung has been doing, then is Apple copying? When Apple introduced widgets, which Samsung has had since the S2, then is Apple copying? When Apple introduces 5G to their phones, are they copying? Does that make sense?
Outside of Apple users it isturns out the Apple Watch wasn't such a dumb idea after all.
I am sure there are plenty others like yourself.Wonder many out there are like me who hasn't worn a watch in decades, thinks this is a redundant but limited dongle accessory for phone, has a display even smaller and less useful than iPhone 4/4s and don't care for the hassle of charging another device every night?

I can’t speak to the quality of most of their stuff but their earbuds are actually really good, and repairable (if that matters to you).Keep in mind, Samsung heard rumors of the Apple Watch back in 2012 and created 5 smartwatches in a span of 2 years before Apple released their first one.
Then, Samsung took the circular screen from the Moto 360 and took the rotating input mechanism from the Apple Watch to make their new smartwatches. They can't come up with good ideas on their own. They never will.
This goes to show you Samsung has no clue what they're doing. Apply the same logic to folding phones, smart tags, wireless earbuds, etc...being first doesn't mean it's going to be good and today's market proves it.
It’s a totally different device to a phone, with a totally different use case. I’m not going to run a marathon handing my phone the whole time, but a watch is perfect. If you don’t do any exercise though, it does lose probably 50% of its usefulness right off the bat.Wonder many out there are like me who hasn't worn a watch in decades, thinks this is a redundant but limited dongle accessory for phone, has a display even smaller and less useful than iPhone 4/4s and don't care for the hassle of charging another device every night?

Meanwhile Apple copies the “how busy a business is” from google, to Apple Maps. Also this “market domination”really depends on which news you read...They're only successful by copying ideas. That's their different approach. Sure.
Not necessarily. Apple has its “cheap” line of items such as the SE line. Even cheaper, the SE line did not perform as expected which links to people still choosing Android over a cheaper Apple device. I do agree with the idea that even with a cheaper device, Apple’s goal is to sell you as much content as possible while gathering your data and analytics (from SE devices.) This includes your health data (from the watch SE) which could potentially be gold to them. Just thinking differently...I partially attribute this to the same reason iPads did better than Android tablets. Apple has a more neatly put together ecosystem, so if you want many gadgets that work well with each other, they've got the advantage. The Samsung and whatever watches are all trash in comparison, probably only selling at all because people have Android phones.
Worldwide, it's also likely that people using Android phones only to save money aren't buying watches and tablets to begin with. Goes to show how useful those devices really are.
I think you have a point. The likes of Xiaomi and Realme are starting to release smart watches. But then you have to ask, does someone who buys a $200 - $300 phone have any interest into buying a smart watch that can cost as much as half of the phone price?I partially attribute this to the same reason iPads did better than Android tablets.

It's probably just a blogger hyperbole talk.Yeah, or usually I think of dominate as meaning the majority (>50%) rather than plurality.

The health data is encrypted, even on the iCloud backup, at least from my knowledge. Curious if there are findings of your claim of Apple collecting the health data. Seriously curious as this was never mentioned ever.Not necessarily. Apple has its “cheap” line of items such as the SE line.

How is the mobile phone division doing? Let’s ignore washing machines, TVs, fab plants, etc.Their net worth appears to be $300 billion. They seem to be doing something right or they would have no customers. Can't explain that on this site though.
I think the Samsung bashing is pretty lame. But your comment makes zero sense. Why would anyone want to "solve" whatever you think the problem is? There's no benefit to society in helping Samsung to "innovate" or whatever, and Samsung isn't making lucrative offers to Macrumors readers to help them out.You should work for Samsung. Then you can tell them all the things they are doing wrong and how to fix it. Instead of making comments about how they are doing it wrong, be a part of the solution. But I get it. It’s much easier to complain and call people names then it is to actually do something.
