I said that in my original post. The phone is different and is essential for contacting and emergencies, while the watch is not. Once you have a phone, why have a watch unless you aren't carrying the phone? Still, it's pretentious to believe that you have to be an "iWatch" consumer. EDIT: Maybe leaving your phone somewhere and just using your watch to do minimal things is reasonable. But to have BOTH? Nope.
You could same he same thing about ANY WATCH. They tell time and so do your phones. Watches and jewelry are pretentious right? Pipe down Swoly and think before you speak. People like to wear useless things.
I guess we're all guilty of being pretentious then since there are many things that people buy that can be described as "look at me! I have one of those!"
What's your point? Nobody buying the watch is doing so in an effort to lower their pretentiousness. They are doing it because they think it's cool, and want one. In fact, that's pretty much the case for MOST fringe products.
I was initially excited about the watch but now I am thinking..why would I want to do all these things on a tinnnnnnnnny device when the 5.5" phone is next to me..
Why do people keep falling for this........??? It is actually getting to the point where you have to feel sorry for them. That "brand new" NFC feature should change everything!! ha
I think they could have done better. Sure it runs laps around the LG watches but it's nothing that should have garnered a standing ovation.
Well, that's sad, isn't it? No. If you have one or the other, you're not. If you have both, maybe. Jewelry isn't pretentious. Having a huge diamond or a huge watch and showing it off IS. And that's what's wrong with society. No one speaks out against these things. Everyone just "accepts that people like being that pretentious" and "pipes down." THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
If you're getting biofeedback from the watch, you SHOULD use both. Stop trolling, Trolly-D. Who appointed you the iDevil's Advocate?
Because the 5.5" device gets annoying when you want to do quick tasks. I love my Nokia 1520, but if I want to quick reply to an email or a text in a meeting it's like whipping out my surface. Running and listening to music is annoying on a screen that big, sure you could get an iPod touch, but then that's one more thing to lose. I see a utility for it, especially if the screens are getting bigger, but it has to be priced right.
lol wow. I wonder if your ancestors were all lamenting at the thought of sending letters through the post office. "Having my letter delivered by train??? That's blasphemy! Why go through such nonsense when I have my carrier pigeons out back! Pretentious people, I say! PRETENTIOUS!"
It's sad that people who like the watch and have the money to buy it choose to buy it? Why? You don't have to like it, but others can.
There's a lot of tech in the new phone that has already been introduce before like the NFC feature in the Nexus line. I think the original Motorola Xoom had a barometer in it and everyone was wondering why you would need a barometer. It's not what's new in the device but how you implement and market it. Apple is doing a pretty good job at that. They're showing that you can count stair steps with their phone, something that Google could never quite explain with Honeycomb.
Then there are those who speak out against anything and everything that they don't understand. Society should be about balance and understanding, not "That guy has a techie watch. He must be pretentious." Maybe, just maybe, the dude likes technology.
Came here to follow along with the updates, but eff'ing Slowly-D is in here stinking up the joint... Come on bruh
