Apple's iWatch - Rumor peddling

[baldgye]

I really hate the term "wearable technology." Reading glasses are "wearable technology," too.

Also, we have the Google watches at work and they look ridiculous on all the women. Even on men, the screen is just too big for it to be comfortable. The face of the screen hangs far off of either side of my wrist and I always wind up taking it off.

So, your happy with the new Apple Watch then? Given that it comes in three different sizes...

Ahh ok, I guess I got one confused with the sport wristbands or something like that, that people are talking about.

It also looks better!

I literally don't see the point in a tablet (other than to watch movies) if you have a smart phone, and if you have a smart phone you can also ditch the 'dumb' phone... and then you have the watch and phone with nothing else.

A phone is so easy to displace and forget. They get stolen or lost in other ways.

i have never got my phone lost or stolen in 13 years.

Not sure yet, I'll know when we get a couple of the smaller ones and we can try them on. It sure does look nicer, though.

Indeed. There are also third-party armbands available (some made for upper arms, some for wrists) that would allow you to carry it more comfortably.
There have also been several Android phones with narrower and/or shorter footprint that wouldn't be so bulky.

Rather have the LG G Watch R, thank you. Battery life is also not great, but at least it looks good.

To be honest, I'll wait for the next generation. I want the looks of the LG G Watch R with the functionality of the Samsung Gear S. Then I can leave the slab of glass, plastic and metal at home.

I haven't ever had my phone stolen either, and i've left it all over the place. People always figure a way to return it.

Smart watches are just silly I think, nothing can compare to a great looking, classic, mechanical watch.

At least the 360 looks decent. The Apple Watch just looks fugly. And I HATE fingerprints on my watch. I'd go crazy wiping that thing down every time I used it.
