Should I buy an Apple Watch?

Do you have an iphone?

Obvs

Then it'll do exactly what your phone does, and less. Smart watches don't offer much just yet, save your money and wait until they're actually useful

So what exactly does it do? I'm thinking it would be useful when biking/walking, so I don't have to pull my phone out to change songs and shit. I broke my last galaxy phone like that and that's why I even have iPhone now.

Thoughts?

If you think spending the money on an apple watch is worth being able to change your songs easier, then go ahead, it's your money. You can get earphones that allow you to change songs, by the way.

Already have jaybird bluebuds x or something. Pricey sports Bluetooth headphones. Can't change songs with those and really like them.

Idk I'm undecided. Need to figure out what all it can do. So far it looks like it runs yoga apps, can change songs, displays texts/emails, has heart rate monitor, makes calls with mic and is alarm. Is that everything?

I'm not 100% familiar with the Apple watch, but it's up to you to decide whether it'd be worth it. I personally think I don't need a smart watch, I think they're gimmicky and I think the functions they offer are too few for the price.

Don't buy it, not worth the money, barely use it. If price isn't an issue then buy it.

Does anyone here own one? Would like opinions from those types.

Looks like it does maps (probably not Google though blah) and productivity apps. Wunderlist, which I don't usually use. Would be really awesome to have to do list on watch

One downside is that the workout apps are all exclusively cardio. Not a problem specific to Apple Watch; it's all the phones and everything too. But yeah a limitation.

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket and want a watch that needs charging every other day, go for it.
If you really want convincing either way, look up reviews and check out its FEATURES (what it can do) and its BENEFITS (what is actually good, what it is useful for), if you want one just to look good or some stupid shit you probably shouldn't waste your money on it, get a normal watch instead.

Okay I bought it. If it helps me exercise more I'll consider it a worthwhile purchase. Here's hoping.

I can't imagine how ANY device could measure anything else. Heart rate is heart rate, whether cardio or lifting. And heart rate is the standard measurement of one's exertion. I can't think of how anything could measure what you pick up and put back down, short of a scale.

They are shiny. I'm not sold on the nifty part. Nifty in what sense? They're slightly more convenient than looking at your phone's lock screen.

I'm mostly hoping it's good for exercise. Motivating me to move, yoga instruction on wrist instead of placing phone awkwardly on the ground, heart rate etc. plus being able to keep phone secure and safe in a backpack or something while exercising and still being able to change songs and playlists.

Maybe I've just wasted $350 but we'll see.
