It has one of those glass-mercury thermometers.
Only if you drive a Lada. LOL.
What does the Internet have to do with if someone loves nature or not?
There have always been things to do indoors. Before the Internet, people would listen to their hi-fi systems for hours on end, or watch TV for hours on end. Why is searching the Internet any different?
Also, if anything the Internet makes it easier to explore nature.
Which is why he didn’t even hint at that. The car is used as an analogy for the sheer amount of sensors available.
Skin thermometer?
Like your own temperature is more practical and useful than oxygen blood data? Are you serious right now?
Ummm.. yes? Do you see everyone in public area slinging around SpO2 sensor to check if someone has COVID or not? Instead they use thermometer to have a quick check on you.
Now with thermometer on Apple Watch it could monitor your body temp all day long. I mean does average person care if they have 98 or 99% blood oxygen level? But 98F means your body is okay, anything more means you're having a fever. Average joes could use that information.
Not particularly close, in reality.

Well as you may tell I don't know anything about cars. Yes it has anti braking, an airbag. But when I'm riding with friends there's so much going on, parking assistants beeping, lane assist beeping, camera for backing up, dead spot warning beeping etc. I'm almost going crazy by all the beeping.
Thanks for acknowledging you learned that cars are stuffed with sensors now. Mr Cook wanted to simply use that as a comparison point to explain that future watches will also have plenty sensors.
Rest assured, no beeping and no parking or lane assistance on your wrist.
FitBit is technologically behind the curve compared to the AW. I used to use that and went ti the AW because of the tech and Apple's ecosystem. At some point the AW will be capable of ALMOST replacing the phone...maybe make the phone as simply a small processor module that us keep in your pocket and the AW is the front end....akin to a desktop computer CPU and then you have a touchscreen that you wear on you wrist.....It's time to move on from a watch unless you are into the jewelry value....IMHO.
