Have to say the features seem interesting but the new design doesn’t look massively different...

Shit?It's shit but dickheads will buy it, because Apple.
No, it isn't awesome. It might appear awesome if you're the sort of person who gets excited when they discover their TV has a remote control but for everyone else, it's just an overpriced gimmick, designed to part fools from their money.Shit?
Its a wrist computer / comunicator straight out of the sci fi dreams of teenage boys for decades previously.
Thats fucking awesome. It may or may not (in your opinion) be as awesome as other wrist computers because (you hate) Apple but its still awesome. Expensive but awesome.
There's a very good reason I've got them on ignore, turning up in tech threads to call everyone dickheads is one of the main reasons.Shit?

As far as I can tell the ecg app hasn’t actually been released yet so I’m not going to dive in, and of course I’m aware a single ecg isn’t going to be as informative as hospital equipment but if it helps show docs what’s going on that’s the main thing as our biggest concern is this happening when she’s outside her nhs trust zone and they don’t have access to her records.
The watch is a good example of Apple product lines - first version is a bit shit, but puts a marker down as to the direction things will go in. Then by version 4 or 5 it’s pretty good.
See also the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air...
Apple Watch 4? Load of junk.
The same year the original Apple Watch (2015) was released I bought an Omega Speedmaster Professional for £1.3K.
If I was to resell that same Speedmaster Pro, I could easily get a tidy profit.
Can't say the same for Apple.
Comparing a smart watch to a top of the range analogue timepiece which is a collectors item, is simply stupid.

Just looking at the spec of the Omega.Not really.
They're both 'time-pieces' and a Speedy Pro is hardly 'top of the range.'
If a person had bought an Apple Watch every year, say from the 1st gen to the 4th gen - that itself would cover the cost of how much I paid for my 5 year old Omega.
I just think the Apple Watch is a stupid buy.
"£3k isn't top of the range"
Amazing.
Because it doesn't only tell the time.£3K is what it's worth now, not then.
That's my point.
If you're going to buy a watch, why buy something depreciates in value like that?
That's what it costs now.£3K is what it's worth now, not then.
That's my point.

Posted without a hint of irony.That's what it costs now.
What it's worth has never changed and it's not worth either sum. Rich people are fucking idiots that's my point.
Price of everything, value of nothing etc. etc.
Never got why people obsess about watches that only tell the time. Especially massively expensive ones that'll attract muggers or get lost.
The Apple Watch is the only watch that I'd be vaguely interested in owning because of all the things it can do, but its still just a bit too expensive for me right now.
If you wanted to buy something that appreciates in value you should’ve bought Apple stock. Not too sure about your pricings and value of the Speedy, btw.£3K is what it's worth now, not then.
That's my point.

I considered the man in front of me; my wife’s cousin. He was a youngish man in his late twenties and a successful executive CEO. I smiled, as, in fact, he was one of those people who it is quite hard to believe actually exists outside of a James Bond casino scene. He was very handsome (an ex-model for Aquascutum) and had that English noble adventurer look down pat. In his spare time, when not running his company, he snowboarded and rode speedboats. He had been incredibly expensively educated, all the while remaining a lot of fun to be around. An elegant ladies man and yet a total “lad” with it.
What to recommend?
But he goes snowboarding and speedboating when he's not busy being James Bond.I found this little gem when searching for a review of that watch:
Because a CEO needs a watch that can withstand hostile environments don't they. Boardrooms are just like outer space.
