The devices are cool, but you can't do virtually anything with them.
I own the first gen Apple Watch. It's a slow, expensive heart rate monitor that dings me when I need to turn based on feedback from Apple Maps.
I'll end up buying the new one this year, which will in turn be a fast, expensive heart rate monitor that dings me when I need to turn based on feedback from Apple Maps, and tells me if I'm somewhere that's too loud.
And yet, somehow I don't need basically any of that information when it's already right in front of me. Incredible, I know.
I've never owned an Apple TV, but I ordered this new one as soon as it was released. I anticipate it will be a faster smart TV than the software included on the one I currently use, and that I can use AirPlay on it. Neat, I guess.
Can you really do anything else? I don't think so.

I have been testing the watch and testing myself increasing my activity into the spring and I believe in it's accuracy overall, I find it really fun to see my pace and challenge myself to shave off a few minutes from my mile. It pairs with bluetooth headphones and does fine with music too.

I replaced my previous ATV 4K with a Fire TV and sold it. I don't really miss anything from it tbh. I have a Garmin. It's a pretty nice expensive HR monitor! I like that the screen is always on and I can control it while wearing gloves since it only uses buttons.
- geoah 6y agoWow didn’t know there was a steam link app!! This is awesome thank you!
