The Apple watch, despite its price, doesn't even have the security of Apple phones, so easy stuff to nick off someone's wrist and then usable.
I'm in no rush to get any of them. If a free one came with a phone, I might experiment but generally I never wear a watch at all, so probably unlikely to become a regular wearer. |

I fail to see the point of spending upwards of £600 to wear a device that does the things your £600 phone does that's in your pocket.
Genius marketing by Apple though, it'll fly off shelves like shit off a shovel. |

"Ive just seen a tv ad for the apple watch,...
Anyone got a smart watch? Apple or other
I cant see the point of them  "
The big hand points to 7 and the little hand points to 10.
Oh, is that not how things work these days? |

It's pretty sad when people need a device to read a message from the device in their pocket.
Personally I can't see the point in them, but if you're into tech then they will have an appeal |

I've got the Microsoft band it's somewhere between a fitness band and a smart watch. But I use it more as an exercise tracker and easy to access interface to my phone. I don't want a smart watch as I already have my omega which will still be doing what I want a watch to do years after the latest apple fad

The Microsoft band has good reviews, whereas I'm not sold on the Apple watch.
The Apple watch even comes with instructions from Apple on how to reset bypass any passlock that the user had set. In other words, once stolen, anyone can use it/flog it as unlocked etc. Pretty much nil security, unlike most modern phones, including the iphone. |

If you can use at is gps and have navigation on the actual watch, I'd have one. As a keen mountain bike cyclist, id use it quite often for just that purpose. Better than strapping your phone to the handlebars.. |
