Apple Watch relegated to the junk drawer

[sicasey]

So the impulse must have buy of mine that was the Apple Watch has now found itself spending more time in the junk drawer than on my wrist.

Can anyone else empathise with this or am I just missing the point of the Apple Watch?

Well, you haven't actually said why you are bored of it.

Well that's it really. I just stopped wearing it. And now it's in the drawer.

What'a the resell value like? I wanted one to play with, but couldn't justify the cost. If there are people like you who are bored already, may have a scan through Gumtree.

Quite strong I believe (until the release of the next Gen is announced).

The opposite. I've not worn any of my Swiss watches since getting the Apple Watch.

I suppose it is just "horses for courses" but I can't help feeling like a bit of a t@#t wearing the Apple Watch, if I am totally honest.

The only good thing being that it's not made out of gold. If it was then I would feel like an even bigger t@#t even if I was wearing it or not just for having simply purchased it in the first place.

Can they be used as a pedestrian sat nav?

One of my flying friends mentioned that there were plans to link sky demon to smart watches. I can see a use for them in those scenarios.

Yes, you can use it for pedestrian navigation.

Not on their own though - the Apple Watch is close to useless without an iPhone connected to it.

(most smartwatches are close to useless regardless of a phone being connected)

Expect less reliance on iPhone in the next iteration of the Apple Watch.
