If you think keeping time accurately is a notable feature in a $300+ digital watch, you seriously need to re-think how you evaluate usefulness of a product.

It's notable if its main competitor in the market (allegedly) doesn't.

  What main competitor is not keeping time correctly? The main competitor for any smart watch is the regular watch. Specifically for the Apple Watch it is one of the many smart watches running Android Wear or the Pebble. I have never heard or seen anything to indicate these watches have a problem with keeping time. Now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen anything about Apple Watch having problems keeping time. Do you have sources to back up your claim?

    I'm not the one making the claim, and I too am dubious about the claim that Android Wear can't keep time. If the allegation were true, though, it'd be a notable issue/feature in a comparison versus Apple Watch.

Mechanical watches can be much more expensive and keep less accurate time. In rare cases I've seen my MacBook Pro display stale time in the taskbar. Haven't pinned it down yet. In both cases the balance of usefulness paid for is found elsewhere in the product.

  First, Not many people buy expensive mechanical watches. If they do, they already know that the time may be inaccurate sometimes. Second, Macbook Pro is not a great example since its primary purpose is not displaying time.

    Similarly, I don't think the primary purpose/raison d'etre of the Apple Watch is to tell time. It certainly isn't what you're paying $300+ for.

      I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. I think it is a watch with additional functions, not something else that also works as a watch. For me, any smartwatch's primary purpose is telling time. Everything else it does is secondary. Having said that, you shouldn't buy Apple Watch for just telling time. You're better off buying regular watch for that.
