If apple's ads are so great why do you think it's being ripped apart by just about every media outlet I've seen as unnecessary. Why troll a guy for bringing up real world scenarios, marketable or not, they happen.

I never once, mentioned Apple's ads.

I explained why a mother feeding her baby while talking on loudspeaker on a watch is not a good advert or image.

And troll?

Perhaps i'm too old, but I don't know what that means.

I'll get started...

Benefits for me:


- reading texts while driving and being to reply with dictation or voice alone

plesase don't...... YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ TEXTS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING...

I REPEAT: YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ TEXTS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.

nothing or NO ONE is so important that you have to put the lives of everyone else on the road around you at risk....

DO NOT READ TEXTS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Apple missed out in their Keynote with one of their commercials. It should have gone like this:

A mother with an infant holding or feeding her baby. Her phone rings and she has to fumble through her purse/bag while stopping to feed the baby while awkwardly holding the infant trying to find the phone.

Or...

Another mother simply answers the call on her watch while still holding and feeding her infant.

And..

The same thing in a car scene with a woman fumbling through her purse trying to find her phone while driving. You can figure out the rest.

Convenience...same reason why people drink terrible coffee out of Kurigs, pay $40/lb for horrible, stale coffee and dump unrecyclable waste pods into landfills.

don't pretty much all newer vehicles (including the least expensive, budget cars) have built in blue tooth? why would ANYONE need to fumble in their purse to answer the phone while driving. (pet peeve.... idiot drivers who have their phone in their hand, but no up to their ear, talking away.... for some reason they feel that not having it at your ear equates to hands-free? NO NO NO, you idiots... hands-free means the phone.is.not.in.your.hands.period.) *off soap-box*

Get off your high horse there man. Everybody does it. thank god theres even a watch to help reduce the distraction.





NO.... everybody does NOT do it.
 
PROS

1. It makes me look like I make 30% more than I actually do.

2. Ladies think I'm an 11.5 compared to my non-Apple Watch wearing 6.

3. Cars in left lane on the Beltway clear out for me when their GPS tracks me coming down the pike.

4. I get the best table in the best restaurants and w/o reservations.

5. My boss gets me the coffee now.

6. I'm no longer required to go through security at the airport.

CONS

1. Way too many women flirt with me hindering my ability to get any work done.

2. I constantly dream about replacing my plastic band for a link but then think $500 for a SS bracelet is insane. Then the dream repeats.

3. Hamburger is no longer good enough for me.

4. I'm in constant fear Apple will update the watch and PROS 1-6 will no longer apply.

5. The Watch will tell me the weather but won't let me actually control it.


Agreed, hard to really add more
