·Most of the places filmed are more than 3 days away from power.
I’m just saying.
Can see it appealing to the Apple die hard.
But like @dsio i have seen a few people at work transcend from a Apple Watch to a real watch. (Charging was always the bug bear when spoken about why the shift and nearly all still see the Apple Watch as a good thing to still have when needed)
Valid point about the extreme conditions and access to charge.
For everyday use and with quick charging, I know some people who only charge when they are showering/getting ready for the day and that's usually enough. So that at least solves some of the issues around sleep, etc.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorCould have got $30 off a new iPad if I sent my old iPad mini in. Still worked but was slow as.
Didn’t due to so many photos on it.

·Does anybody know who does the voice over in that advertisement? The voice sounds familiar but I can't place it.
Ryan Gosling, I think.

·This watch has some neat features- there is no doubt. But as someone who has worked in some very remote locations for long stretches of time, I would never trust an item that doesn’t have replacement batteries for which I would have plenty on hand. Furthermore, batteries start to lose their activity at around 20 degrees F- I have had several DOA in my bag on some long extremely cold projects. Then I question at what temp the LCD would start to become viscous.
Battery and LCD issues aside, see this watch like a Jeep Rubicon- 95% of the people who buy it will never use it in the environments for which it was designed. But they will love the idea of adventure and be able to drop a pin for where they parked their Rubicon in the mall parking lot.

Funny thing is Jeeps in Australian outback are useless as most are petrol and diesel rules the Australian outback for sheer distance between stops and being able to be transported safer.
Side note is most tourists think service stations are open 24 hours in remote places….quiet often see tourist sleeping in cars because they rocked up to closed and locked petrol pumps at 5-6pm 😁😁
Common city 4x4 though..

I think you nailed it.
Only thing I will add, is that this also applies to 95% of Planet Ocean owners as well. So the gateway drug concept rings true.

·To me that’s a really great thing, they’ve killed off some brands like fossil in their price range but who really cares about fossil?
I actually recently found my old Fossils in a storage bin. Funny enough, I replaced these when I got an Apple watch for my birthday back in 2015. That lasted about a year, until I discovered the joy of a manual wind mechanical Hamilton. So I'm your use case.

·Kinda like buying a watch that allows you to come up in a chamber but you remove before showering?

·I have a no name cheap smartwatch that I purchased on Amazon for $35. Among other things it monitors the number of hours that I sleep, my sleep quality, and it tells me what my blood pressure and heart rate are when I exercise. I find these things useful, but even though it tells the time among its other functions, I have a hard time thinking of it as a watch and I would never even think about using it as a daily wearer.

·I agree, that Apple does know how to make a statement with their smartwatches. The marketing and design are on point. It's intriguing that they're going for a larger size. Maybe it's a response to changing preferences or new use cases. It'll be interesting to see how it's received. You can find many guides at multitechverse.com on how to use these watches for more things. I hope you enjoy it.

·I have been having fun with my 17 dollar series one apple watch I got from shop Goodwill. I even used it in Dick Tracy mode yesterday to confirm my lunch order while I was inside a pipe organ. Ol Tracy must have had a sore shoulder and elbow.
Wait long enough and one will find such things in the eWaste bin. I suspect a few bioceramics will find their way there in the not too distant future.
The hard part is to decide whether to wear the A Schild Wakmann I restored, or the apple watch.
