Eating chips while on the computer

[dandrewk]

It it an interesting question. If I'm at a movie theater will my watch light up every time I take a bite of popcorn? I'm right handed but I usually eat finger food with my left hand.

It has an ambient light sensor, so the watch shouldn't be very bright, even if you use a the butterfly or jellyfish face. You can further adjust brightness in the settings. And of course, mute that sucker!

I'm more concerned about the battery usage when I'm knocking one out. That screen is going to go mental. On plus side, I'll hit my activity goal easily.

1. That's what theater mode is for.

2. If it's like most smartwatches, it requires a wrist twist motion towards you. I.e. top of watch towards you, bottom of watch away. With popcorn, you're probably going to be twisting your wrist away from your face, so you can gobble the popcorn from your palm

This is not going to a problem. The watch screen turns on and turns off within 30 secs if untouched. There is also a setting where you can allow the screen to only turn on if you press the screen or the digital crown. (Turning off raise to wrist).

Actually, I believe the screen only turns on for something like 8 seconds unless you interact with it or keep your wrist in the "i'm looking at my watch" position.

I actually had a similar issue when I had a Moto 360 for a short time. My car is a manual so generally my right hand is on the shifter and my left on the steering wheel. I wear watches on my left wrist and tend to hold the steering wheel at 12 o'clock. Everytime I would make a turn and return the wheel to center my watch would wake up as if I raised my wrist to look at it. Not a big deal during the day, but at night a blinding white LCD screen is not appreciated. #firstworldproblems

So, the Apple Watch records steps with that up/down arm movement? I suspect a lot of folks here will easily hit their 10k steps/day goal.

Lol you beat me to that joke... Was going to say, eating chips is not the only arm motion at the computer that may cause issues...

I'm right handed, while surfing on my computer I will be forced to eat chips with my watch hand. I'm concerned about battery drain as I usually eat the whole bag.

Perhaps just buy a small bag instead of your usual jumbo.

Also, let's not forget that if you use your watch hand to dig into the bag, the watch is going to get very greasy. Apple has announced that if is OK and legal to take your watch off under certain circumstances, such as eating potato chips or cleaning up after certain bodily functions, if you get my drift.

Oh man, I can't stop laughing!
Best thread in awhile

We are bored and just want to talk about the watch

So you have to click and load a separate page every time there like 20 relies? Serious waste of time. Set it to 100. This is nowhere near going to a 2nd page for me.

...and now I actually want chips.

 

[Lucifer666]

What movie you planing on?

BTW, people munching on chips in theaters should be dragged out and shot

I have had a similar concern. I like to eat cookies with two hands. It minimizes the time that my mouth is without cookie in it.

HA! Great quote, from a great thread.

What kind of chips?

 

[balzmcfearson]

I heard if u eat chips with the other hand it's like someone is feeding them to you

Yeah but you gotta sit on that hand for 10 minutes first
