Apparently to many on here a wrist watch is a new concept. And his $400 watch can do far more than my $3000 Rolex can. But I do love my Rolex. But the Apple Watch is what I wear almost all the time now.It's not really a new concept is it?
Since it's still selling and apparently has outsold the original iPhone at this point as well as having outsold every other smart watch in existence, I'm certain most companies would wish to have such a "flop". Satisfaction numbers higher than any other Apple product, stable sales rate. Subjectively I'm running into more people who are planning to or who just have purchased on. Hopefully you and I both will be this kind of "flop"!
I can also get a dumb "phone" to make calls and only have to charge every 3 to 4 days. Why do we need smartphones when we have laptops that can do everything a smartphone can and then some. For convenience, right. I mean after all, a phone is used to make phone calls. A smartwatch is for convenience. It is also not a replacement for smartphones.
Not going by the women, and men, that I see digging in their bags or patting their pockets just to find the damn thing.
We'll always need our phones. But having to always have them in your hand or sitting on a desk can be minimized.
Like I said, I still use the other features like notifications, fitness, tide, weather, stocks, etc. but I look at my AW for the time more than anything. You're going from one extreme to the other. Are you saying I have to use the other features equally to justify me owning the AW?
In the time it takes you to raise or turn your wrist to see your traditional watch and tell the time the AW will have lit up. There's really no difference. If you don't need or want the device, good, millions of us do and are glad we got them.
Just remember unhappy people want you to be as unhappy as they are.
The numbers I read were 97% satisfaction. And again it has outsold the original iPhone. And, again subjectively, I haven't met anyone who actually has one, not that lurks here, but actually has one that isn't extremely happy with it.
Very few people wear traditional watches anymore unless they have an affinity for watches which they would have an expensive traditional watch costing $$$ not $3.
We don't need phones on us. I can always find a phone somewhere or keep a pager on me if someone needs to get a hold of me immediately. A cellphone just makes life more convenient. Do you ever wonder how life was before cellphones? It actually went on.
Haven't seen a payphone in a long time and didn't know they still made pagers. Yes it is a convenience, yet for me necessary.
I just meant that the watch is not going to replace the phone. I also find it interesting that no one actually "needs" a smartphone but almost all have one these days. That really picked up after the iPhone came out. I'm guessing a wearable like these watches or some other device ( Google Glass? ) will become more common in the future.
I have to agree. I haven't seen a payphone in years. And there are millions of people who have to be available and reachable at all hours. And a pager only goes so far. Plus when I've had to use one I hate hearing that sound. In my hospital there are no more pagers, they've gone to wifi phones. And the administrative/managerial staff are being given iPhones.
Of the more than 800 Apple Watch owners surveyed by Wristly, 31 percent said they were "somewhat satisfied" while 66 percent were "very satisfied/delighted." In comparison, just 91 percent of iPad buyers and 92 percent of those who picked up first-generation iPhones were satisfied with their purchase.
