To me the Apple Watch is over engineered. Good engineering is like ergonomics for your mind. When you find the most beautiful solution to a problem, you know it in your guts. But with the Apple Watch, looking at it I don't know what problem it solves, and I don't see anything in the design that intuitively maps to its function.
- falcolas 11y agoTry out a plastic pebble watch for a few weeks, you'll quickly understand the value of what a smart watch can do for you. At which point, you have to ask if it's worth the extra $300 or so to upgrade the features. What I found a smartwatch does for me: - More reliable notification of messages and alerts - Tells time (!) - Simple tools (like a countdown timer) which doesn't require pulling out, unlocking, and navigating the phone. The first one is the only feature which isn't available in your average $20 watch, but it's such a useful feature that it's well worth the extra money to me. So many fewer missed messages, calls, and notifications, all without having to annoy those around me with my ringer.
