the apple watch?

[Road Guy]

so "smart phones" killed the watch but now were going to bring back the full on serious nerd calculator watch? (Im sure most of yall had the original model?)

my parents were too poor to buy me fancy watches like the original

I didn't have one either....

it was usually a good way to get a beat down in HS...

I have a Pebble watch and really like it.

Aint nobody got money for that.

Looks like a cool thing but too bad Google beat them to it.

I still won't buy one. I'm loving my Citizen.

I stopped wearing a watch about 5 years ago, and I don't miss it. I have traditional watches worth more than the Apple watch and don't wear them. I can't imagine the user interface on a watch being a suitable replacement for a smart phone, which I always have on me anyway. I think the Apple Watch is the answer to a question that wasn't asked.

I haven't worn a watch regularly since early college (pre-firefighter days). I really don't see me getting any type of watch anytime in the future.

I still have one around, somewhere. It's probably in my hiking pack, that's the last place I remember seeing it.

I would think that generations have now grown up and have gotten out of the habit of wearing a watch- I would think it would be hard to switch, sort of like if apple or Google came out with a cool new landline phone for people to buy...

Never giving up my vintage Omega Constellation Automatic Watch...screw those battery powered watches...but keep buying Apple product guys..it make me happy if they stock keep going up

I still wear a watch every day.

I don't understand the argument that a cell phone is a suitable replacement for a watch. I hear this a lot from the younger guys in the office who can't fathom why I still wear a watch. I find it's a lot less cumbersome for me to check the time by looking at my wrist then it is to dig my phone out of my pocket.

this! my flip phone is usually in my purse. lots easier to turn my wrist to check the time than to dig out the phone.

I also find that I can check the time much more discretely with a watch. If a meeting seems to be dragging on I can find ways to check the time on my watch without being obvious. There is nothing discrete about taking out a cell phone during a meeting.

My FIL has worn this watch for the last 20 yrs. He has never touched a smart phone.

When more than half the guys in the meeting have their phones on the table, checking the time is very easy. I just make it look like I'm reading a new email...

I find it obnoxious when people "check email" during a meeting.

 

[snickerd3]

it's more than obnoxious, it is rude.

 

[Road Guy]

But now you nerds can just check your email on your watch!

If it has tapatalk with eb.com, then I might be interested. Nothing like NSFW funny pics during a meeting.
