What happened to this meme? Is it dead?
>>
forced meme anyway
>>
Everyone who wanted one got one. Everyone else didn't change their mind.

Good on them for trying.
>>
Should I get an Asus Zenwatch 2 or a Sony Smartwatch 3? Or something else?

mine's doing fine, thanks :)
>>
>>59984075
how many times a day do you charge them?
>>
>>59983904
Something else. The Sony isn't even supported anymore, you'd have to go with a custom firmware.
>>
>>59984152
i'm a big dork so i charge it every night, but i can go maybe 5 days using it just as a watch, which is awesome for a smart watch.
>>
reminder steve jobs hated charging shit and was working on a reinvention of the tv but instead they put little work into the apple tv idea and shat this out instead
>>
Yes. Just like VR.
>>

We can only hope so.

was he planning to go Thermonuclear on Netflix?
>>
>>59983830
So many people in my classes and a couple professors have Apple watches.
>>
I'm getting one after I get my iPhone 8
>>
>>59983830
No, it's alive and kicking. I'm planning on getting one for my wife's son.

I'll consider buying a Smartwatch when they can get 4G LTE in a smaller sized watch.
>>
>>59983830
i went from a Sony Smartwatch to a Casio F-91W desu
>>
>>59983830
nah there's still faggots getting apple shit in 2017 unfortunately
>>
>>59984435
Netflix wasn't relevant back then, he was going thermonuclear on cable companies
>>
>>59986532
why the fuck would you need a smartwatch with 4G? what kind of person has a watch but not a phone????????????
>>
>>59983830

I'm wearing one right now poor fag

I would like to able to replace my smartphone entirely with a smartwatch, sometimes when i go out i don't like to take my big ass phone with me, and i have a iPhone SE which is consider to be small nowadays.

I bought and returned this piece of shit within two weeks. Total garbage battery and no useful apps operate without a phone paired, EVEN when the watch has LTE. Android Wear is shit.

I'm back to my Pebble, which has been my daily driver since 2012. I own 11 of them and only one has ever broken on me in five years.
>>
>>59988929
See
>>59989844

You are fucked until AW gets its app ecosystem together, even if the hardware stops being an elephant and the battery stops sucking. Software still lacks the most basic of support with a phone missing.
>>
>>59989452
omg dude I am so random.
Funny rightXD
>>
>>59983830
Smartwatches are a forced meme with no reason to exist.
People don't even want them.
>>
My dad got one for his birthday and never used it, until he started having health problems and needed to monitor his heart rate. Now he wears his Apple watch since it monitors his heart rate and helps him keep it down.
>>
>>59990510

>people don't even want them
>people then buy them

I'm glad I'm not a delusional autist who's unable of understanding the planet I live on.
>>
>>59988463

Because the apple watch doesn't do shit when you're away from your phone.
>>
These watches look ridiculous compared to a normal watch like Rolex, Seiko, etc.
I feel like only corny middle-aged Americans are the only ones that could pull off wearing one
>>
>>59990672

Smartwatch sales are kind of shit. The market for wearables is not there yet.

All people wanted was a way to easily check the time and notifications but instead they crammed a bunch of "it'll change your life" crap into it.
>>
>>59983830
Didn't hear about it in a long while, maybe it is rightfully flopping? That would be good, the less "tech" stupid gimmicks the better.
Although IoT is much worse a scourge than smugwatches.
>>
>>59991486
the pebble steel is none of those things, take a look!
>>
>>59983830
its just useless, or the advantages gained by wearing one are too small to justify a purchase

the trendiest 20-something's bought it just to have it (like everything else), but the average people never found a reason to own one
>>
>>59991486
>>59992351
This. Buy a Pebble 2, Pebble Time Steel, or Pebble Round.

Smartwatches have no reason to exist. Consumers can't find a reason and neither can marketing teams. Hell, even the CEO of Huawei said he can't justify them.

They're nothing more than an unnecessary cash grab manufactured at the lowest point of the phone sales slump of 2015.
>>
>>59990672
I literally don't know anyone who has one. And I know a lot of normies. Even the young, hip 20-somethings aren't buying smartwatches. Smartwatch sales have been shit since the beginning, with the exception of the Pebble, for whatever reason.

Milliennials are notably hard to sell you. You can't even get them to buy a car, let alone something as frivolous and trivial as a smartwatch.
>>
>>59992863
I have a reason. I'm not able to have a phone at work. However we are allowed smart watches. Mine is now basically my phone.
>>
>>59992882
>hard to sell you.
hard to sell "to."

They're more popular with older people I think. My dad uses his Apple watch to make sure he doesn't miss any notifications for emails and such for his job. He's a 53 year old businessman who was never a tech enthusiast either. It's kind of funny watching him take calls on his watch.
>>
>>59992895
That's a very specific reason. That's kind of a niche thing, isn't it?
Unless smartwatch manufacturers started some sort of massive campaign to get workspaces to ban phones but not smartwatches, which I don't see happening any time soon, smartwatches aren't really going anywhere.

pebble shills get outm, dont you know your company got bought out and shut down?

It's not though. I've had 3 jobs and all of them had this rule. One was a grocery store. The other two are call centers.

why is there no hair on the backside? do you work at one of those czech gloryholes where your ass sticks out only?
>>
>>59993373
not all guys have hairy asses lmao

Why do so many people still shill pebble watches? I don't get it, they're ugly as sin
>>
Does Casio make a smartwatch?
>>
>>59992943
you must be real dense if you think i'd shill for free! the pebble steel at 40 cuck bucks is a great deal. it has all of the standard watch functions and a battery life upwards of a week with minimum use, it gets notifications, and you can control your music without fishing your phone out of your pocket (though i could really care less about that last thing because i'm not a spergmaster)
>>
>>59994618
bait and switch lmao
>>
>>59983830
Watches were a thing nobody actually liked except to show off something expensive. They were worn in all other instances for an important function.

Smartwatches tank in price the second you buy it, will have to be thrown away, and add zero meaningful functionality that you don't already get from your phone
