People have said that since 2012. Steve died in 2011. It's now 2020. Have you really never used an Apple Watch or talked to someone who has?

- NateEag 7y agoSeveral family members and friends have Apple Watches. As far I can tell there is nothing significant about the devices. They're a complicated way to stay distracted with a reasonably okay medical monitor built-in. They don't seem to be a game-changer the way the iPod or iMac was. I could, of course, be very wrong.
- amatecha 7y agoYeah no, it's a utility. It looks nice, reasonably intuitive to use, and useful for workout tracking. Oh, I can pay for stuff by tapping it to the contactless payment terminal. But all in all, it's totally non-necessary luxury.
- scarface74 7y agoThe cellular Apple Watch keeps me from being distracted. It keeps me off the web and other apps but I’m still easy to contact. When I’m running or at the gym, it’s really nice not to have to lug my phone with me and still have access to music, podcasts, and when I’m running GPS to track distance and speed. The iPod was not technically a leap. They assembled it from third party hardware in less than 9 months. The only reason it wasn’t copied sooner is because Apple (smartly) bought up the complete supply of 1.8 inch hard drives for months. Competitors still haven’t been able to squeeze the functionality and performance of the Apple Watch in a device as small.
