I bought an apple watch out of fomo because my wife had one. I could not for the life of me figure out what this fucking thing was for. Like, do I need another reminder to look at my phone? I don't need the "health" app either. The watch "faces" are in such a walled garden limbo its fucking embarrassing. If anything, it reminds me of its limitations more than any potential. Move that feeling to something you strap to your face and lug around a tethered 2 hour battery. Do you wear it out to dinner? Or around the house to what, look at your own stuff? Is it just to watch movies on? I can't think of a single application that is better because of it. The tech for a pilot or racecar driver or any other headsup display need is already out there. Its redundant and extremely gimicky. When you see a product like this you can tell there is panic in the R&D department.

I mean if you don’t use the health app you’ve eliminated like 90% of what the watch is for. The entire premise is a wearable biometric sensor that also functions as a direct link to your phone.

I have an ultra that I use for a ton of stuff. I originally got an SE for the better sleep tracking, but that turned into using it for workouts at which point I got a series 8. When I got into longer distance cycling (75-100 miles) the battery on that didn’t last long enough so I upped to the ultra.
