Oh, I sold mine at a $3,000 profit. I just dont like being like everyone else. In the world of uniforms and such, having a wrist watch is the only jewelry a man can usually get away with. Just to add, I got a far superior product with the profits to boot.
But IWC is a classic Swiss watch that will retain value. It’s an investment.
Yeah, I once heard, “don’t buy a Rolex if you need to tell time”...there’s a lot of truth in that.
Depending on how long ago, that would have been a great opportunity to multiply your money significantly. It probably would be worth well over 10,000 and depending on model over $50,000.
Always on display on a phone is the biggest feature apple has been missing out on for years. But then again if they added it to their phones they couldn't sucker people into buying as many watches. When you can see your alerts without actually picking up your phone and turning it on then you're less likely to buy a device for your wrist to tell you if you missed a call.
If you didn’t have to jump through hoops for the oxi to work, I’d be more excited. I’m having trouble spending that much when I have a series 3 that still works fine.I was listening to a podcast that was recorded later the day of the announcement, and they were ordering and getting them shipped for next week. So, I guess a month's worth of production or so is sold already.
It's a LOT more rugged than it looks. I'm not easy on them either. I did manage to mess up the screen on my first one (series 3) very shortly after I got it in 2017, but I was wearing it while working on my tractor and kinda dropped a mower deck on it. Got it replaced under AppleCare for another Series 3, and bought a Series 5 a year ago. I haven't ordered a 6 yet, but I probably will before too long. It'll be really nice to have that oximeter.
Or I could have lost it or bashed it on something, damaging it. I don't believe in buying 'things' as investments anyway. For one thing, they aren't liquid, and they're only worth as much as someone else wants to pay for them.
I definitely would not like an always on display on my phone. I've turned off 'raise to wake'. But I don't care much about missing a message or a call now that I don't work and have no responsibility to respond.
I don't think you know what always on display is. It's not that significant that it lights anything up in the dark. It's just a way to use a few pixels to give info. Kinda like your desk clock. If it's just going to be sitting there it might as well be doing something
Like draining the battery?
Like you have to walk over to it and look at it to see if there is an icon indicating something or the clock for instance. It doesn't really drain the battery because oled displays dont need to back light black pixels. Not sure how it could annoy anyone. For the most part in the day time the glare of the sun overpowers the faint pixels that are lit. But you can look at it straight on and see the display.Like draining the battery?
Seems like it would need to be at least bright enough for you to see the screen to read it. I suspect I would find that annoying, but others might not.
I was thinking about at night, when it's otherwise dark, and I'm trying to sleep. Maybe I would like it, who knows. But it isn't something I long for, or even considered before.
It dims so much that its negligible. Its not nearly as bright as say the light that indicate the electric toothbrush is charging. Not even as bright as the power off status light on something like a television. It's a nice feature and it's not required to be on. Just a nice way to add a very useful feature to a device that you always have. Even better when you can pair it with a folding screen like on the Galaxy Z Flip and you can set it on the nightstand in the 90° folded position like the travel clocks of yesteryear.
). If I lose it or break it, no biggie; and unlikely anybody would want to steal it.
Nope. You have to hold your arm still and horizontal with palm down for 15 seconds and not in sunlight.Jump through hoops?
As far as I can tell, it works fairly similarly to the heart rate monitoring, which makes sense since they're probably using the same sensors. You can manually activate a right-now reading via an app icon or a complication, and it also takes periodic readings in the background automatically.
Now I must pause, and chuckle about anything health-related on a fitness watch being called a "complication."
Super close, this....
