What about the Apple watch?

The Apple Watch seems to have suddenly found its pace.

I am seeing them everywhere, around here.

I suspect that quite a few are SEs and maybe last year's model, but I do see a lot of Ultras.

Battery does seem to be a limiting factor and I don't wear mine unless I'm doing activities where it's especially useful. But, for a lot of people, something else to charge doesn't seem a big impediment.

When we heard young people don't wear watches any longer at the time. And certainly many people didn't think yet another bluetooth earphones were anything to get excited about.

AR does seem to be a potential big deal. But the tech and implementation probably has a ways to go before it's interesting outside of a bubble audience.

If people don't wear watches, they probably wouldn't wear scuba gear either. Unless AR comes in rose tinted glasses.

What about it? I'm not going to recharge my watch every night. Yawn.

Yeah, we have basically infinite battery on "dumb" watches, as long as you use them. You know, so you can rely on them.

The Apple Watch to me just seems like a worse earbud. If I want to be that interrupted in tge middle of something might as well hear the thing and not have to look at it.

I don't personally sleep with my watch on, so I just charge it every night. But it actually only takes about 15 mins to charge a decent amount, so if I did I'd just charge it while I was in the shower...
