I have not seen any Apple Watches. I have seen ALOT of Garmins and a few Fit-Bits.
I would expect Garmin to be the most popular choice for serious athletes. The Apple Watch isn't really designed to compete in that product category.
Why would there be no reception in Rio?No reception in Rio = no iPhone = little use of the AW.
Home might be a different story.
Why would there be no reception in Rio?
I'm in Rio and the 4g coverage here is very good.
You clearly said no reception in RIO, we are expected to read expensive reception.Most people traveling abroad turn it off in order to avoid expensive international charges, and athletes are no exception (most of them aren't weathly and just get by). I wasn't actually saying there is no reception in Rio.
They kept showing Michael Phelps mom and girlfriend and baby. His girlfriend had one with white band. Lots of air time lolSaw Aussie Jessica Fox with one
I've seen tons of the coaches and support staff wearing Apple Watches. I'm not sure why any of the competitors would be wearing during the actual games though. I'm sure plenty of them wear Apple Watches behind the scenes, but remember that the Olympics at this point is more of a advertising platform so I'm sure there are clauses regarding what athletes are allowed to wear during actual competition.Just curious if anyone has seen any athletes wearing an Apple Watch?
You're aware of how much infrastructure building goes on for the Olympic village right? You think while they were laying fiber and every other type of utility they didn't bother setting up cell towers??No reception in Rio = no iPhone = little use of the AW.
