Changing an Apple Watch/Android Wearable even once every 3-5 years must be the 7th circle of hell for someone like Dieter Rams.
It's incredible how normal it has become to switch out $500-$1200 products at such a cycle. Wasteful, next to no functional gain (certified electro-cardiography being exempt in my books), supporting narcissism...
It's consumerism to the max. We should all take a step back and think about what we are doing.
- azhenley 8y agoI too hate the cycle of replacing expensive things every few years for little to no gain. But in the case of the Apple Watch, I think this replacement cycle is the same as most jewelry/fashion items.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoYou could (and are) say the same things about Fashion, since that's pretty much what the Apple Watch is: a fashion statement.
